At the very least it is an Aeon that is the product of a tortured, conflicted Fayth.

I just noticed this, but Overdrive Anima is wearing golden metallic bracelets, of the same type that her Fayth favored in life.
that is one cool pic of anima but i gonna have to argue a bit because in animas overdrive it clearly shows her breaking out of her chains and turning into what was hidden by the strange cage anima is sealed into. that picture doesnt seem to by pixelated like the FFX graphics and it just looks like a peice of art that someone made. i think anima is just one thing not two different ones. i think the bottom half in that picture is just another pic of anima merged onto the bottom. in the overdrive animation it shows anima sinking down with the party instead of the party sinking down to see this so called bottom half.
