Does anybody know how they would make these animations? I think I remember somewhere they use a machine? And they might use some sort of software. I don't know.

You don't have to watch all of it.

some people draw them frame by frame. there are artists who make the background. some artists would draw the characters. sometimes it's one character for one artist in one page and sometimes it's all of them depending on the planned exposure. if they're drawn separately, they will eventually be joined together by the compositor after they are painted. drawing these characters could be traditional (artists draw on paper and then the pages get scanned then painted using a pc software) or tradigital (where a graphic pen is used on a pc monitor). i don't think sailormoon was created purely with a software like Macromedia Flash.

Thanks! And I think I'll start to draw it out frame by frame. I've tested a small animation and it looks great! If they can do it I can do it.
