The first one is the one that I like the most!

Great work with all of them, but this one attracted my attention the most 😊

I like the idea of creation such a loading animation, maybe you can propose this via a github pull request.

EDIT: I'd love to read an article about Anima!

I agree. Overall the V being used as a command prompt arrow is genius!

Maybe in place of the loading there could also be one with a blinking thick cursor like the command line?

Same wavelength here. I was going to comment "how about a blinking cursor instead of the text 'loading'" and I'm glad I read the comments first!

I'm curious! 😎

Maybe the V can turn in a way that one side of the V becomes the cursor (it splits during the turning). Just an idea :)

Even better idea with the blinking cursor! This connects even more to the developmer-terminal-feeling.

I'm definitely drawn to the loading and pulse 1...I think the sweet spot might be somewhere between or combined.
