    • Recommended Resolutions: 1024 × 1024, 832 × 1216, 896 × 1152, 1024 × 1344

    Low-VRAM Option:

    Description

    Anima Preview2 has been experimentally merged in a small amount.
    However, some issues originating from Preview2 remain, such as cases where the head is not rendered properly.

    This has been the most stable Anima model for me, even the latest version with preview2 mixed in. Nicely done! I hope more people will give this a try.

    I tested models for highres - this model best in terms of working with words in an image.

    v2.5 is in my opinion the best model for anime hands down. Tried hundreds of models from all model families, none blew me away like this one did. LOVE IT!

    Actually a nice finetune but it does kill creativity a bit in the name of anatomy stability. Less dynamic posing kind of like Z-image stiffness. But the backgrounds are AMAZING and make far more perspective sense.

    I'm so curious what voodoo you poured into this to make it so good. I think i'll be following Animalka well into Anima 1.0.
