User Reviews about Anime Studio Debut 6

Well, this program is very similar to Flash, but it is geared specifically towards making 2d animation and has a number of tools to help streamline the process. Does it have a learning curve, like Flash? Yes. Would I choose this over Flash? If I was just going to animate and did not need anything else, sure. The price sure is right. -- Like Flash, but cheaper and geared towards animation

I can't even begin to make a review as comprehensive and awesome as Nathan Anderson has done (video and all), so I'll stick to why I picked the program and who I think it would benefit.

I selected this program because it looked fun and cool, and I thought it would be a good way to spend time instead of watching tv. Unfortunately, I was hoping for something with the satisfaction of a game, and this isn't it. This is totally my bad, and not the fault of the software. Like many visual manipulation programs (Photoshop, Corel, et al), you really should have a purpose or need, because the learning curve is going to be steep. It's the nature of such programs. It is easy to get started and make extremely simple animations, but that isn't fulfilling for very long. More sophisticated animations require way more effort than I was willing to invest. Look at all the work for Nathan's minute and a half clip. However, no program is going to make you an decent animator without that effort, no matter how well designed. Tutorials are helpful, but require the user be invested in making it work.

So, I'd recommend this program for parents of children (even very young children) and young adults who want to get into visual graphics, or develop their artistic side. It's relatively inexpensive compared to other options - about the same price as some of those new Transformer action figures! I'd also recommend it as a surprise gift for a rabid anime fan, or someone with their own amateur website looking to spice it up. It is worthwhile, just not for me. -- Good product, but have a reason for it...

Using this on a Mac, we have had some fun very quickly with a program that takes no time to get started. It's not been used to create any outstanding animations, but so far, for simple visuals, it's been satisfactory. Students who are interested in creating animations are able to be rewarded very quickly and at the cost of a movie for two, it's very cost efficient and provides longer than a couple hours of entertainment. I suggest going for this one! -- Affordable animation program is good intro
