FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
