 Could be better, but still great fun September 29, 2008

This product was not the type of animation software i was looking for per say, but that does not mean it won't fit your needs. When I first bought this software,(not from amazon although i wish i had), i was hoping for a more traditional look instead the animation reeks of flash.
It a personal preference because I like the traditional Cel-animation like in an anime. This software is meant for ease and can do a lot of the work for you. It does all the in between frames all you have to worry about is the "key frames." It is fully capable of producing a fully professional work but like I said its a preference thing.
It you want animation that resembles more of today's web cartoons then go with this software. An overall mediocre product. If you want a more traditional look your best bet is elsewhere.
side note:
-sometimes the program will maneuver a different path than you intended.
-limited working area
-i could not figure out how to get the facial expressions to work
instead it would just carry the one i chose throughout the entire animation

Software works fine. Unsure if there if there was supposed to be a manual included, though.
 Do You Feel Like A Cartoon? October 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you at times feel like a cartoon character, now, this may become a reality thanks to the hardwork of the folks at e--frontier.With capabilities to import any image and add rigging to it,your dreams become a digital reality.
Maybe I should've gave it a higher rating,but it did take some doings to get things to work (still a lil buggy?)An improvement is needed in the color pallette (to eliminate all the import/export for quality) and I'm still waiting for my rebate/discount as well as the promised extra content( I'm an artist so the extra wasn't that important,would like it tho).Look for my new cartoon coming someday to a web nearest you(google,veoh).

This is a basic 2-d animation program only. You will first have to draw your image then import it. The drawing toolbar is extremely limited.

Don't be fooled by the product description which makes it sound as if this application is written for entry-level animators and hobbyists. It's not. This is a professional-level application. We introduced this tool into the production pipeline of our animation shop and we love it!
The ability to actually *rig* a 2D character for animation is fantastic enough. But then to be able to have vertice-level control too is mind-blowing! This doesn't even take into account the: particle system, or the depth-of-field rendering, or being able to move through 3D space, etc.
While the overall documentation may be a bit thin, the Anime Studio support community is strong and very willing to quickly answer any question. I found the Help File tutorials to be strong with the right amount of to-the-point brevity that quickly enables a new user to feel confident enough to begin creating right away.
And the price. How can you beat the price? Less than $200?! That's the same amount you'd pay for you and ALL of your executive buddies for lunch at 'Macaroni Grill'. Or....an evening for you and 2 of your buddies at "Cheater's Lounge". But anyway....
If you do *any* kind of 2D animation, do yourself a great favor and try this program. The last time I was this excited about a piece of software was back in 1996 when I started to hear a buzz about this goofy little animation program called "Flash".
