<p align="center"> <i>ComfyUI nodes for quick and easy style selection for the Anima model</i> </p> <p align="center"> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/ComfyUI-custom__node-blue?logo=github" alt="ComfyUI custom node"> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/styles-20,000+-brightgreen" alt="20,000+ styles"> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-yellow" alt="License MIT"> </p>

Choose from 20 000+ styles – instantly, without loading a single LoRA.
This custom node lets you visually browse, search, sort, and select a style from the massive Anima style database. It outputs the style name directly into your prompt, where the Anima model understands it perfectly.

✨ Features

  • 🖼️ Visual style preview directly on the node
  • ⏩ Quick next/previous buttons for fast browsing
  • 🎲 Random style button for creative surprises
  • 🖼️ Full‑screen lightbox – preview styles large, navigate with arrow keys or buttons
  • 📂 Style gallery with:
    • Sorting by Realistic, Cartoon, Cute (estimated by a neural‑assisted pipeline)
    • 🔍 Search by style name
    • ⭐ Favorites system
  • 📤 Outputs plain text – insert anywhere in your prompt (e.g. with a String or CLIP Text Encode combine node)
  • 🧪 Example workflow included in the workflows/ folder

Think of it as a gallery of 20 000 LoRAs – but you never need to download or load them.
