A320 Pneumatic Air question…
On all the training material I’ve read, the literature says that the Pneumatic System is supplied with high pressure air from Engine, APU, or HP ground for Air Conditioning, hydraulic tank pressure, wing anti-ice, water tank pressure, and engine starting. But isn’t the Engine Anti Ice also bleed air? I’m curious why I never see that listed. Thanks!

The above two sentences are an extract from the FCOM.
I suppose your doubt arises from the fact that wing anti ice is mentioned while, engine anti ice is not. As mentioned by the rest on this thread, it is independent - directly from the engine bleed to the engine nacelle.

“Each engine has its own anti-ice system, with an independent hot bleed air source. The bleed air is extracted from the High Pressure Compressor to anti-ice the engine air inlet”
