What resources are available for Anima: Beyond Fantasy

I'm trying to get me and a bunch of online friends together to play Anima: Beyond Fantasy but i don't know what resources token and map and character sheet wise are available. Is there any at all or what can i do to play it on here? I've heard people tell me it's possible to play it with roll20 and others tell me roll20 is meant only for d20 game systems.

Roll20 is system agnostic. There are people playing almost every tabletop RPG you can think of on here, plus people playing wargame miniatures, card games, and board games. Some specific games with complex mechanics may require the API (a Mentor subscription feature) to accomplish tasks automatically (as opposed to, for example, simply rolling some dice and looking at them manually as you would in the Real World™), but those are few and far between. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with Anima to give you specific pointers.

Roll20 is system agnostic, so you can play nearly every RPG on the market on the platform. A user has already created a custom character sheet for Anima: Beyond Fantasy, so you can use that if you like how it displays. You can use your own graphics too.
ok thank you. Umm Also is the character sheet the only thing that's available for Anima? Is there tokens and map pieces and the like? Plus i may need to upload or make or what ever my own Anima character sheet because i have all the books and each of the extra adds things to the character sheet.

When it comes to map tiles, token images and character portraits, you can use the Roll20 image search to see if there's related images that work either from the web or on the Roll20 marketplace. You can also upload your own graphics if you prefer to use your own images. You don't have to use the character sheet if you don't want to. You can paste a character sheet from Google Docs or link to MythWeavers and add roll macros if you don't want to use the sheet available. Mentors subscribers are able to customize and create their own character sheet. I'd recommend just playing around with the platform and going through the Roll20 Crash Course to familiarize yourself with the controls.

You can see exactly what features subscription provides on the account supporter page . As far as extra advantages while playing the game on the tabletop, subscription gets you dynamic lighting (Supporter or Mentor) and API access (Mentor). Dynamic lighting lets you have a dark map with tokens that shed light to reveal things, while the API lets you add scripts to do a variety of tasks. Neither are mandatory for playing any game.
SO anything not on that list on that page i can do without it. Which basically means i'm forced to use what character sheets are available already since i don't have a subscription.
I am taking a look at the already added anima sheet and so far only thing i'm seeing that's missing is the Arcane Sephirah

You don't have to use the character sheet that's available. If you want, you can just copy and paste a simple text version of your character sheet into a character journal and add your own commonly used rolling macros to the actions tab.
I don't have a subscription though.

You do not need to have a subscription to do what Kristin is talking about. To clarify some terminology: Your Character entry is in the Journal tab in sidebar. A Character has the following tabs (sections): "Bio & Info", "Attributes & Abilities", and "Character Sheet". It is the "Character Sheet" tab which you either have to use a community created character sheet or be a Mentor in order to use your own custom sheet. What Kristin is suggesting is that you paste a text version of your character sheet into the "Bio & Info" section and then use the "Attributes & Abilities" section to create your stats (Attributes) and macros (Abilities). This is how things were done before the recent update adding the "Character Sheet" section. Plenty of people still use this method. Alternately, you can contact the creator of the Anima character sheet and make suggestions regarding possible changes.
Oh ok. Well i'll try getting a hold of the person that made the sheet. Also i'd prefer to use a sheet. Makes things easier to track and stuff for me. I'd use something like mythweaver but sadly from last i used it they only focus on d20 system sheets

One point of clarification, to use a custom sheet only the campaign owner (GM) needs to be a Mentor.
oh ok. Well i am the owner of the campaign.
New question involving this stuff. How do you contact the creator when the creator isn't listed. Kind of hard to say to contact when there's no name. Or is there no name for safety purposes?

You can see who contributed a particular sheet in the Github Repo, though the name may not match to their Roll20 name. Probably best to post in the character sheet forum and ask who worked on a particular sheet. You might also be able to search the forums and find when the original author was talking about that sheet.

Yes, that's fine. There's a maximum size limit (both on total storage and the size of an individual resource) that's raised if you pay, but that's it.
