 Animation March 18, 2010
The Writing Chef (Los Angeles)
So far I haven't really used it, mainly because it seems more like a toy. I haven't figured out a practical use for it.
 Well worth the money March 16, 2010
Gary A. Woods (Florissant, Mo. USA)
If you are interested in creating your own animated cartoons, you can't beat this software for the price. The Debut version has many features for creating South Park style animations. The software will also allow you to use more traditional style animating (frame by frame), by importing your own artwork. Drawing tools allow you to create artwork within the program. The lip sync feature makes it easy to add dialogue to your characters by importing sound files. Camera feature enables you to pan and zoom. 3D background and foreground movement can be achieved by placing parts of your scene at different depths. You can export your animations in avi, mov and flash (SWF). I found this software easy to learn using the included user manual (PDF) that you can access through the help menu, and the user forum I found through the software's web site is a good source for posting questions or problems you might have.
Wow! You really can create animations! But read this for input device recommendation February 2, 2010
Dave Millman (San Jose, CA USA)
I was skeptical that an entry-level product would really allow me to create animations, but Anime Studio delivers the goods. It's a powerful product, with a clean upgrade path to it's big brother. But it will be a very long time before I grow out of this one.
Here are my favorite features:
Motion Tracking: you can open a motion video (a camcorder video, for example), mark an object in the video, and Anime Studio will track that object through multiple frames. You can then use this marker to attach one of your animations. Imagine the possibilities: Animated characters can dance with your children on video-all you have to do is animate the character, then attach the animated character to your child in the video. Cool!
Lip Syncing: You can sync a characters lip movements to audio easily. This is pretty hard to do manually. Anime Studio has a command to take care of it. So the character dancing with your child can sing too!
Lots of Import options, including Photoshop. Anime Studio preserves Photoshop layers, which saves lots of time if you use Photoshop.
Finally, keep in mind that animations are not necessarily cartoons. Anytime you need a picture or text to move in a complex way on top of or below other pictures, you are doing animation. So there are business applications too (think product instructional videos with animations of parts interacting with other parts, with hatches opening and latches latching...you get the idea).
OK, now for my input device recommendation: Anime Studio has good drawing tools. Lots of animation work requires precise placement of points, drawing of paths, etc. You really want to use a tablet. The WACOM CTE450K Black Bamboo Fun Tablet with Pen, Mouse & Graphics Software (NEW) is a perfect match for Anime Studio. It comes with both a mouse and pen, plus some great software. You can use Anime Studio with a mouse, but a pen tablet makes life easier and more fun.
Highly recommended, especially given the low price.
Ok...but could be better January 30, 2010

Bought this software for my 12 year old son who likes cartooning, he was able to start drawing images using the tools available,however has yet to transition to actually fuly mobilizing the animation. He has a 40 page instruction manual he needs to follow and the introductory online lessons weren't very helpful. Anime needs to make the software through more user friendly.
 A great starter program for those interested in animation January 28, 2010
Brian Reaves (Anniston, AL USA)
Let's get this out front: you aren't going to recreate some late-night sci-fi anime classic you've always adored. This is a wonderful program whose purpose is to get you started in anime. The character choices are good, and the options on the program do allow a certain amount of freedom. If this truly were a "from the ground-up" kind of creation program you'd need forever to learn how to use it, but this one has only a minor learning curve before you begin creating some fun animation you can enjoy. My son was interested in possibly getting into animation for a career after high school, and this was a wonderful choice to help him get a feel for what was ahead.
