A very popular manga written by Natsumi Mukai, and distributed by TokyoPop. It follows Cooro, Husky, Nana, and Senri (a crow, fish, bat, and bear +Anima respectively).

+Anima were, at some point, human, but gain the power of a certain animal. For example, in Cooro's case, he sprouts jet black wings from his back to fly. The +Anima have a human form, where the only sign of their +Anima is a tattoo where the change occurs.
I just got another issue of +Anima. I heard that Cooro fights in an arena in this one.

Rose is a cat +Anima, and her hand grows claws when she changes into her +Anima form, her hand grows claws.

When connected to Final Fantasy, it is a popular name for a summon. In Final Fantasy X, Anima is the most powerful summon.

Another example is in the newest game, Final Fantasy XIII. In this game, Anima is not a summon, but something called a Fal'cie.
1.When I summoned Anima, I completely owned everything in sight.

2. Anima is one of the crappiest Fal'cie. I like Eden SO much more.
