The anime should be at least 20 minutes long.
Sound and video should be both made by AI.
The only non-AI generated inputs should be the manga images and transcripts of its text. (The input during training can be anything)
If there is editing made by humans, such as removing some parts of the video, or changing order of the scenes, I will subjectively judge whether it disqualifies it.
The results must be reproducible: the technical details about how it was made should be open enough such that other people start getting similar results.
It should gather significant attention and discussion in social media.
It should be comparable in quality to average human-made anime based on my subjective judgment.
Note on me as an avaluator: I'm not an anime expert, I watched like 10-15 titles in total, and didn't watch any in recent years. I haven't read any manga. Also, I'm not an AI expert, but I'm a software developer.
I might change some of the resolution criteria in the first 7 days after making this, but I'll keep the main idea the same.
I will not trade in this market.
Edit 1: The anime should match the manga: same characters, same events, etc.

Have you looked at the current state of the art of these systems?
Specifically for manipulating manga/anime, that is.
@JosefMitchell Nope :)
Edit: In other words, don't take the fact that this is not resolved as evidence that this did not happen. It may have happen and I'll discover it after close.
It should gather significant attention and discussion in social media.
I assume that if we share something in the comments even if there's not enough media attention, you'd possibly take a look and consider it, as long as people don't try to waste time by sharing poor quality things here.
@Roma thanks, just confirming that media popularity isn't a strict criteria but more of a filter
@JonasVollmer Should look like something humans would make, and other people would watch. And not because “it’s so bad it’s good”, or because AI made it, or something like that. I’ll also watch it myself, the “media attention” requirement is partially so I don’t have to watch a lot of bad anime. My subjective judgement will be based on my own perception and on the feedback on the media.
