Anima Style Explorer (Anima-2b)
A quality-of-life node for ComfyUI that adds artist and style browsing, visual selection, and prompt autocomplete directly inside the workflow.
This is an independent community tool. It does not connect to or make requests to the original website.
Installation
- Download or clone this repository
- Place the folder inside:
ComfyUI/custom_nodes/
- Restart ComfyUI
The node will appear as:
Anima Style Explorer
What it does
This node replaces the usual “type and guess” prompt workflow with an interactive style selector.
It works similarly to CLIP Text Encode:
- connect a CLIP model
- write your prompt
- send conditioning directly to KSampler
The node automatically injects the selected @artist tag into the prompt and encodes everything in a single step.

No extra nodes required.
Features
Visual Style Browser
Open a gallery of 5000+ artists with thumbnails and preview references. Click any artist to instantly apply it to the prompt.
Prompt Autocomplete
Type @ in the prompt box and a live suggestion list appears with previews.
Random Style
Instantly injects a random artist into your prompt — useful for exploration and inspiration.
Auto Cycle
Automatically queues generations while cycling artists one by one. Great for discovering new styles hands-free.
Update Styles
The node includes a built-in database of 5,000+ artists. You can manually refresh this data by clicking the Update Styles button on the node or the refresh icon in the Browser. This avoids automatic downloads on startup.
