My observations on Ton Boom Harmony:
From my experience of more than fifteen years, I would like to say that it is considered the best without a doubt, due to its functional flexibility and the craftsmanship of the tools that give us the opportunity to produce high-quality anime, and with familiar animation techniques, such as “cut-out” or “frame-by-frame” animation. .
Not only that, but it allows me to move 3D elements with ease, instead of using complex 3D programs like Blender. Also, I mustn't forget that it helped me use bone tools that allowed me to move hair, clothes, and backgrounds.
