Usually I use Toonboom animate, but I sometimes use Flash as well.
It doesn't really matter too much!

ok great thanks! I've been thinking about trying animation, but I want to do more traditional 2d hand drawn stuff instead of  3d pixar-ish animation

Mainly, movement, and effects. I can't seem to make my animations look more natural or fluid when it comes to the poses or the movement. I was wondering if you have any suggestions to help me improved them.

I think these look pretty good!
For poses, if you wanted them to look more natural, I'd suggest just taking some time to watch and observe people. Like you have in your animation, a person with a sword, I can see that he (or she) feels abit stiff. What I'd do is go to youtube and study the way they handle and swing the sword, their stance and overall demeanour and apply it into your own work.

As for the timing, it could be varied up a little, maybe holding and pausing a few frames here and there to make it more interesting! 

Some people ask me some general questions about animation on tumblr which you can check out here too if you want  jeffreylai.tumblr.com/post/723…

These are just some things I think about when animating but you can pretty do anything you want! Which is what I like about animation.

I hope it's of some help!

Thanks a lot ^^, you've been very helpful, I'll put a lot of effort into observing and implementing what you've said. 

Thanks again
