IMPORTANT. Read this first.
This checkpoint is not built for Qwen3.5-4B and not for the expanded adapter.
52-block DiT, but text conditioning is native qwen_3_06b_base only.
Insert blocks after the frozen 28-stem were prepared for that CLIP. Qwen3.5 will look like stock Pro52, not this mix.
Do not use qwen35_4b or Anima-3.8B-expanded_adapter.
Delta Mix
Checkpoint merge on Anima-3.8B (52-block). Anime and illustration first, with extra room for kemonomimi / light furry. Use it like a normal Anima model.
Text encoder: qwen_3_06b (native Anima CLIP). Do not swap in Qwen3.5-4B or an expanded adapter.
VAE: official Anima / Qwen-Image VAE.
Prompt
Positive starter: anime, masterpiece, best quality, ultra detailed, absurdres, sharp focus, intricate details, cinematic dramatic lighting, strong chiaroscuro,
Then the scene in tags or natural language, Anima-style. Rating tag if you use one (safe / sensitive / explicit).
Recommended
Steps: 30
CFG: 4.0–5.5
Sampler: Euler ancestral
Scheduler: normal
Resolution: same as Anima-3.8B (1024-class and up, as VRAM allows).
Anima 52 LoRA Patch only for v1

Anima 52 LoRA Patch for v2+
https://github.com/bestluner-create/ComfyUI-Anima-Delta-Q35-LoRA.git
Start around 0.65. Do not stack stock Load LoRA on the same old LoRA.
v2.0
Current version on this page.
This mix uses: Anima-3.8B Anima Aesthetic 2B Aura Rising aniMurr v02
Same text encoder and VAE as v1.0. File: animaDeltaMix38B_v20.safetensors
v3.0
New bake on the same 52-block 0.6B chassis
Both Gen-1 and Gen-2 use copy-body (adaLN stays on the chassis)
Denser materials and small surface detail vs v2
Same 2B donors — last styled bake on this pair

I couldnt make this work, i downloaded the correct clip model, i already had the qwen vae, i am trying to run the model with simplest possible workflow and i only get dark static.
Same. Pure static, no matter which workflow I use, sampler, or scheduler.
dark static usually means the graph is running this as SDXL / EPS, not as Anima.
This file is Anima 3.8B FLOW + qwen_3_06b only. Pony / Illustrious / Qwen 3.5 workflows will just give noise.
Easiest path: open any preview on this page, use Create or copy the nodes under the image. The PNGs have the workflow in metadata, so you can drag the image into Comfy and rebuild from that.
If you build it by hand:
UNET - this bake
CLIP - qwen_3_06b_base (not the 4B)
VAE - official Anima / Qwen-Image
Euler / Euler a, normal, 30–40 steps, CFG 4–6
Shift around 3–4.5 if your sampler has it
Shift 0 or the wrong CLIP = black static. v3 is 0.6B, no Connector, no Qwen 3.5.
@bestluner180 Unfortunately, I tried your workflow as well, with every single part you had. Still static. Not saying it doesn't work, just not for me. And it is a shame, because I LOVE that artstyle.
@Ellen_Weiss Got it - if that graph still gives static, I need the log, not another sampler guess.
Please Queue once and paste the console text from “got prompt” down to the error / first sampling line. Especially:
- model_type (FLOW or EPS)
- which CLIP file loaded
- which VAE
- any red error
Also say whether the model is in diffusion_models / unet or in checkpoints.
Without that I’m guessing. The bake is fine; something in the load path is still not Anima FLOW.
@Ellen_Weiss If the console is messy, just export the workflow.
In Comfy: Save (API format) and drop the json here,
or drag your working graph PNG.
That shows the loader, CLIP, VAE and Shift in one file.
Faster than guessing from static.
@bestluner180 I have the API, but would you be so kind as to instruct me on how to upload it here?
@Ellen_Weiss CivitAI comments don’t like raw json. Either:
1. Rename the file to .txt and attach it if the comment box allows a file
2. Or open the json, copy everything, paste into https://pastebin.com and drop the link here
3. Easiest: in Comfy save the output PNG and upload that image to this comment — the workflow sits inside the picture
Pastebin or PNG is enough. Don’t paste the whole json into the comment body.
https://pastebin.com/zUdqMLbq Would this work, @bestluner180 ?
@Ellen_Weiss Found it. The bake and CLIP are fine.
Your graph uses EmptyLatentImage — that is 4-channel SDXL latent.
Anima needs a 16-channel latent (EmptySD3LatentImage, or the empty latent from an official Anima / Qwen-Image workflow).
Also add ModelSamplingAuraFlow (or SD3) with Shift 3–4.5 on the UNET before the sampler.
For a clean test: bypass Lora Manager, UNET → Shift → KSampler → VAE Decode.
Same 0.6B CLIP and Qwen-Image VAE you already have.
4-channel latent = black static even with the right model. That’s why previews on this page work and yours doesn’t.
@bestluner180 Don't think that was it, or maybe I did it wrong. This is the new workflow, still static: https://pastebin.com/chraPGzA
@Ellen_Weiss Closer. EmptySD3 + Shift 4 are correct.
Two things still wrong in this json:
1. Lora Manager is still between the model and the sampler.
Bypass it for the test. Wire:
UNET (or Checkpoint loader) → ModelSamplingAuraFlow → KSampler → VAE Decode
No Lora Manager.
2. You’re still on UNETLoader. Put the same file into CheckpointLoaderSimple
like the previews on this page.
3. The second KSampler has no model input at all. Ignore that branch.
If the first Save Image is still static after bypassing Lora Manager + Checkpoint loader, then paste the console from “got prompt” (model_type line).
