Umm. You can do it on photoshop. With Image Ready..I guess

Its a animated gif file. It is really just a few pictures that just switch between them. Not to hard to do in photoshop if I remember, but I believe there are some better programs out there for doing gif files.

Some of them are just ripped straight from the anime, and then converted into a gif. Most programs that produce the kind of gifs that Oro uses cost a lot. At least the ones I'm thinking of do.
