Anime Studio Debut 6

Complementing Smith Micro's Manga Studio applications, Anime Studio Debut 6 is a great tool for beginner anime artists, wannabe animators, and hobbyists looking to expand and develop their anime skills. Available for both PC and Mac operating systems, Anime Studio Debut 6 is one of the most user-friendly, intuitive anime applications available.

Marketed as one of the most user-friendly digital art applications available, Anime Studio Debut 6 manages to live up to its promises. The user-friendly interface allows new users to very quickly adapt to the features and start creating their own static anime artworks and dynamic animations.

For animators, the built-in lip-sync feature makes coordinating, recording, and implementing audio incredibly simple. With support for WAV and AIFF audio, users can easily record their own voices for use in animations, or simply use free files available online.

The 'bones' animation system makes it simple to create natural figure movements and actions. Dedicated animators may feel slightly let down with Anime Studio's relatively basic range of features, but as the software is designed for maximum usability, new users will no doubt enjoy the simple features and animation options.

The drawing and design interface is similar to Photoshop and other vector/layer design applications. While new users can easily adapt and start creating impressive art quickly, users with graphic design experience will quickly move through the relatively flat learning curve and start making detailed artwork and animations quickly.

Finally, Anime Studio, while named after Japanese animation, certainly isn't limited to that style alone. Users can create animated cartoons of almost any style, provided they're comfortable and skilled in the drawing interface.
