They both have a meaning of "presently" with reference to a change that occured in the past.
'Now' is used when something presently is the case (positive) and 'anymore' is used when something presently is no longer the case (negative).
Anymore is in the present just as much as now is. They both require present tense verbs even though they tell you something of the past.
anymore isn't in the present as much as now is; you can use it with literally any time frame.
Thanks for the conversation, interesting to chat about. But I've lost interest now. Have a good one!
no worries I was running out of steam myself anyway lol
