JANIMA is a high‑quality text‑to‑image model finetuned from anima‑base‑v1.0, a 2B‑parameter anime‑focused diffusion model created by CircleStone Labs and Comfy Org.
This checkpoint aims to keep Anima’s flexibility for anime and stylized illustration while pushing sharper details, cleaner , and more coherent compositions out of the box.

JANIMA is designed for:

• High‑detail anime characters and illustrations
• Clean linework with crisp eyes and facial features
• Richer backgrounds and small object details without heavy post‑processing
• General anime/stylized art (not photorealistic/realism work)

Model behavior

• Inherits Anima’s strengths for anime and other non‑photorealistic content; realism is still not its main target.
• Tends to produce more refined edges, textures, and micro‑details at the same resolution and steps compared to the base.
• Works well as a “base” to stack LoRAs and style adapters on top, since it does not force a single over‑fitted style.

Installing

• JANIMA_v1.safetensors goes in ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models
• qwen_3_06b_base.safetensors goes in ComfyUI/models/text_encoders
• qwen_image_vae.safetensors goes in ComfyUI/models/vae

Recommended settings

These are good starting points; adjust per your workflow and hardware:

• Sampler: er_sde or similar modern sampler optimized for Anima‑based checkpoints
• CFG: around 5 (you can push slightly higher or lower depending on prompt strength)
• Steps: 24–30 (add more steps up to 50 if you are not planning to hi-res and upscale)

Resolution: 512 - 1536 ^ 2 resolution supported.

Quality tags (optional)

You can prepend your prompts with quality tags like:

masterpiece, highres, absurdres, newest, best quality, score_7

These help bias the model toward cleaner, higher‑effort outputs.

Suggested negative prompt

A solid general‑purpose negative prompt for JANIMA:

worst quality, low quality, lowres, score_1, score_2, score_3, blurry, jpeg artifacts, , long fingers, sepia, bad , missing fingers, watermark, artist name

Tweak as needed.

Helpful Resources

To get the most out of JANIMA and the Anima framework, the following community resources are highly recommended:

• Recommended ComfyUI Workflow: Anima Preview Workflow on Civitai
• Style Reference: Anima Style Explorer – A visual database of over 40,000 artist tags and weights recognized by the Anima model.
• Character & Tag Guide: Animadex – A comprehensive list of characters and tags with visual examples optimized for Anima generation.

Notes

• Best suited for anime and stylized illustration workflows (ComfyUI or similar) using the Anima ecosystem.
• All preview images are raw model outputs (no over‑editing), so you can see what JANIMA actually does at reasonable settings.
