+v2 has been tuned to work well with the standard **Euler sampler** and **low CFG scale**. This significantly reduces the color burning that commonly occurs at high CFG values, resulting in more natural color expression.
+
+Compared to v1 on the right, the output from anima_pencil-XL_clear_v2 on the left has more **vibrant** and **lively** colors.
+
+On the other hand, to create a cleaner look, the backgrounds have been simplified compared to v1.
