Anime Thunderstorm Balloon Ride

An anime-style illustration of a vibrant hot air balloon soaring through a thunderstorm. The sky is dark and turbulent, with towering cumulonimbus clouds, heavy rain, and jagged lightning illuminating the scene. The balloon features colorful striped panels in red, gold, teal, and purple, a detailed wicker basket, and a small brave pilot whose scarf flaps in the wind. Dramatic neon highlights cast by lightning create high-contrast cel-shaded shading with crisp outlines. Dynamic perspective from slightly below, looking up as the balloon rises among rain and wind, with distant silhouettes of mountains blurred by rain. Mood: awe-inspiring and perilous, adventurous. Style cues: classic anime, cel shading, cinematic lighting, motion lines, rain droplets on the lens.
