The preview images were 4x upscaled with 4x-ClearRealityV1_Soft.

The default style changed to a bit cuter style and the models used for the merge changed.
Since I'm still experimenting with Anima, more bigger changes might come with future releases.

I'm liking it, but it seems that something makes it so it REALLY wants to angle the image up to 90 degrees in either direction, even tho i don't prompt it to do it. Other Anima models don't do that.
