So I want to dabble in making some anime and I've downloaded 2 open source animation software packages but I don't know which one to invest the time in learning for making anime. Which would people recommend? Say something similar to the art style of animes like oreimo.
Synfig 2D or blender 3D for making anime

While I've not used Synfig personally, as a short answer, that looks like the one that would give you results closer to traditional animation.
The long answer would be that it probably depends how you intend to go about it, as much as anything. If you have experience with 3D modelling rather than 2D work, you might find it easier to build and animate characters in blender, but if you're trying to get it looking like Oreimo, I think you'd always be stuck trying to make 3D look like 2D.
