Animadex launches: 49K sample images for Anima AI character search

New search engine indexes 34,000 characters and 15,000 artists from Anima's base model.

Deep Dive

A developer has launched Animadex (animadex.net), a search engine that catalogs characters and artists compatible with the Anima Base AI model. The site is powered by 49,000 generated sample images — 34,000 for characters and 15,000 for artist tags — created using an RTX Pro 6000 over roughly 24 hours. Characters were pulled from Danbooru in descending order of post count, and each generation used the 'official artwork' tag to preserve style fidelity. The tool currently supports search by copyright (series, game, anime), physical attributes (hair length, eye color, gender), and even offers a 'random shuffle' feature. Users can also copy trigger words or common tags directly, with links to Danbooru for verification.

The current knowledge cutoff is December 2024, but the developer is already gathering data to extend coverage through October 2025 — Anima's latest knowledge boundary. While the code is still messy (last-minute migration to Python Workers, temp SQL/CSV files), the site runs smoothly with no ads or paywalls. The project is funded from the developer's pocket, with plans to open-source the code after cleanup. This tool provides a practical way for AI artists to discover how well Anima knows specific characters and artists, and to find associated LoRAs on CivitAI for fine-tuning.

Key Points
  • 49,000 images generated using Anima Base model on an RTX Pro 6000 over 24 hours.
  • Search filters include copyright, hair length, eye color, gender, and direct links to Danbooru tags.
  • Future update will expand coverage to October 2025; site is free with no paywalls.

Why It Matters

Gives AI artists a free, indexable database to discover Anima Base's character and artist knowledge.
