Well, considering his Sphere and ES none of which boost HP, you would say that he's purely offensive unit. On the other hand we have Deimos with HP boost on sphere and ES. He's purely defensive.

Defence is a bit tricky thing and not as helpfull as HP because of two things: DEF Ignore and Fixed Damage. So if, for example, you cast Taunt and Laguna Rex with DEF Ignore hits him - he's dead(if not mitigated). The same goes for Fixed Damage attacks - they are not affected by DEF too. So here Anima would have more chances to survive and in that situation HP is more valuable than DEF.

In some cases  DEF is better than HP. But mainly it is helpfull only for regular enemy attacks. If you have much DEF - the will hit you for 1 damage. Enemy BB will still hurt pretty much.
