Rainy Neon Alley and Ramen Shop, Anime Scene

Create a breathtaking anime illustration in an original style, like a single key frame from a beautifully hand-painted animated feature film: a narrow back alley of a big city at night, just after heavy rain. The heart of the scene is a tiny ramen shop on the left. Its warm golden doorway glows through a short fabric curtain at the entrance, and soft steam drifts out into the cold air. Above the alley, tangled power lines, small cluttered balconies with laundry, paper lanterns and neon signs crowd the sky. The signs glow in pink and cyan but carry no readable words. In the middle of the alley stands a high-school girl with shoulder-length dark hair, a navy wool coat and a long red scarf, holding a clear umbrella. She is small in the frame and looks back over her shoulder toward the viewer, as if she just heard her name. The place tells the story more than she does. Art direction: "AFTER THE RAIN" — quiet, lonely, beautiful and a little nostalgic rather than busy or action-packed. Add subtle details: every puddle reflecting the neon and the shop light, small ripples where drops still fall, raindrops sparkling in the light, a stray cat sheltering under a bicycle, wet cables dripping, a vending machine glowing softly at the far end. Composition: landscape 16:9, low camera at about knee height, strong one-point perspective down the alley, the girl placed on the right third, the ramen shop light leading the eye, deep layered background. Lighting: warm orange from the ramen shop, pink and cyan from the neon signs, cool deep blue in the shadows, soft glow and light bloom around every lamp, wet ground as the main reflective surface. Color palette: deep night blue, warm orange, neon pink, cyan, a single strong red from the scarf. Visual style: hand-painted anime backgrounds with dense realistic detail, clean line art and soft cel shading on the character, painterly atmosphere and light, cinematic depth, original character design. The final image should feel like the most memorable still from an animated film about a lonely city night, rather than a generic anime wallpaper. No readable text. No real brand signs. No existing anime characters or studio styles named. No 3D rendering. No distorted anatomy. No watermark.
