Talking about Anime and Cartoons.... and also Comic Strips... Comic Book Creator 2 also has features to include animations, including sound. It also includes several companion programs, including Audacity for audio, and PD Particles (standalone version of Project Dogwaffle's particle brush system aka optipustics, plus some of the internal brushes), primarily intended to paint backgrounds and foregrounds, and you can use such in MoHo/AnimeStudio too of course as shown in the links above.
So there's several ways to get PD Particles for free, such as when you get Comicbook Creator 2, or others, see the ordering page where other free offers are available. If for example you buy a paerticipating antivirus proggy, or clothing or whatever the other dealers do, you can find a way to get PD Particles for free as a promo.
B-T-W here's the link to the user guide of Comicbook Creator, which is of course a good way to learn how to use it as well as companion tools.

One thing that's not included there but available as a free add-on, a plugin named PennyPaint, for PD Particles, adds a few brushes which are Spline interpolated, anti-aliased and pressure sensitive (table), and made pecifically for line artits, aka comics, cartoonists etc...

If you use PD Particles along ith Animestudio, you'll definitely want to add Penny to it. It's free.
If you haven't tried Dogwaffle yet, there's a freeware version too, version 1.2 at www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/free it may just be all you need as a companion, without the need to buy up to full and higher end versions. Here's a new tutorial to create a simple animation and save it as Targa image sequence, then use VirtualDub to convert it to animated GIF and AVI or other image formats (which Irfanview can do too of course, also free)
