Want to get rid of the annoying adverts? The answer is simple. There are 4 levels of advertising on AnimeOTK:
Level 1: (Your Level, guests and members with 0-9 posts) has maximum advertising. Level 2: (A user with 10 or more posts who has been a member over two weeks) have vastly reduced advertising (including removal of the large full screen closable adverts) Level 3: (A member who has been registered over a month and has over 50 posts, or has a special account like "artist" or "writer" sees minimal advertising. Level 4: (VIP Donators) receive no advertising.
All donators of $10 or more will never see an advert on our site again!

I think its the way you make the GIFs. The program leaves a lot of transparant areas in places that don't move. It reduces filesize not replacing each frame each time.
When the server shrinks them to make them into thumbs the parts that move and the parts that stay still are exposed as different sized frames. You'll note they all start in the lower-left corner instead of their true origin, changes to ratio probably also causing issues.
Still, its progress. A just two years ago as far as I'm aware there were no programs that could instantaneously create moving thumbs of animated GIFs. The only current alternative is to have static images and no-one would know it was animated at all.
