As excitement builds around Honkai: Nexus Anima, players are already picking favorites among the new list of Anima. A recent post on Baidu Tieba, a popular Chinese forum, asked the community: “Which Anima is your Favourite?” The votes provide an early look at which creatures fans are most drawn to. While the thread does not provide a formal ranking or precise vote counts, the responses can still offer an insight into what players may be looking for in their favorite creatures.
The format of the thread means we can’t measure exact popularity, but it does reveal patterns. From the votes, it could be said that many fans are guided first by design and aesthetics. Whether an Anima looks cute, majestic, or unusual often determines its appeal.
Of course, there are limitations to what this Tieba poll can tell us. Without rankings or statistics, it’s impossible to say which Anima is objectively the most popular. The thread reflects a Chinese player base, so global preferences may look different once more people get their hands on the game. And since the game itself is still in beta, impressions may shift dramatically as more content is revealed.
