Inclusion rule. A tool is listed when its own page states what the question asks. Order. Tools in alphabetical order.
Anime is the style most often named across the register. It suits AI animation because flat colour and strong outlines hide small changes between frames better than photographic detail does.
It also comes with expectations: faces, hair and costumes that viewers know must stay exactly right. Character sheets matter as much here as anywhere.

2How one tool keeps a series
The series side of “Which AI animation tools make anime?” looks like this in SceneMixer's own guides:
SceneMixer separates the script language from the production language: the output (episode outlines, storyboards, on-screen text) follows your interface language, and target-region localization adapts character names, casting, and scenery for Western, East Asian, Southeast Asian, or Latin American audiences.

The cast is generated once, at the start, as full-body reference sheets. Every segment that features a character is generated against that character's sheet, with face and body crops attached as references — so the face in episode 1 is the face in episode 40.
