Anima is a 2 billion parameter text-to-image model created via a collaboration between CircleStone Labs and Comfy Org. It is focused mainly on anime concepts, characters, and styles, but is also capable of generating a wide variety of other non-photorealistic content. The model is designed for making illustrations and artistic images, and will not work well at realism.

<Prompting>

The model is trained on Danbooru-style tags, natural language captions, and combinations of tags and captions.

<Tag order>

[quality/meta/year/safety tags] [1girl/1boy/1other etc] [character] [series] [artist] [general tags]

Within each tag section, the tags can be in arbitrary order.

<Quality tags>

Human score based: masterpiece, best quality, good quality, normal quality, low quality, worst quality

PonyV7 aesthetic model based: score_9, score_8, ..., score_1

You can use either the human score quality tags, the aesthetic model tags, both together, or neither. All combinations work.

<Time period tags>

Specific year: year 2025, year 2024, ...

Period: newest, recent, mid, early, old

<Meta tags>

highres, absurdres, anime screenshot, jpeg artifacts, official art, etc

<Safety tags>

safe, sensitive, nsfw, explicit

<Artist tags>

Prefix artist with @. E.g. "@big chungus". You must put @ in front of the artist. The effect will be very weak if you don't.
