Anima is still not available on CivitAI on-site generator (As of 2026/03/11) so here is an IL version of this checkpoint.
Anima version is much better but I really enjoyed the IL version's results.
Any way to run this on Forge Neo?
Yes thanks for asking!
My friend made a guide https://civitai.com/articles/27039/setting-up-forge-neo-for-using-anima-with-stability-matrix
@CitronLegacy Right on, thanks!
@CitronLegacy Seems like the only way to do it is install Forge Neo through Stability Matrix? guess it wont work with my standalone install.
@Corgblam I only use ComfyUI so I'm not sure about Forge. I though Stability Matrix was just a way to install/update Forge but you can install/update manually? My friend that wrote the guide might have a solution for Forge Neo without Stability Matrix if you ask on the article.
@Corgblam Have you figured it out? Should work with standalone install too (I haven't tried it though).
@RisingV I have not yet. I forgot the addition to Webui-user.bat that makes it automatically update.
@Corgblam Hey I am not sure if you are able to access my article right now, so I am copypasting my comment I posted there:
"I had the same problem with Stability Matrix. Earlier version did not want to update. I had to install a new instance of Forge Neo. Probably due to new pytorch version used. Can you verify which version your current install is using? I think you may have no other choice than doing a reinstall."
