What is the software to create this type of anime?


Actually the software is mostly independent of the style. The style depent on
how the artist is drawing it...

Anyway it is not always possible to redraw a image because the software is not
supporting some functions! The style from the website you linked is pretty
simple so you do not need something special.

![Example Image](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GQMtv.jpg)

It would be possible to draw the image above with the standard paint of
windows except the cheeks (if you look closely a special brush was used to
draw this). But this is absolutely not suggested if you really want to redraw
it.

The image is very likly drawn with a tablet that supports pressure/speed
recognition (recognizable at the fading outlines) and a software that supports
paint application modes (recognizable at the shadows/lightning) and also layer
support (the green/yellow background is one layer and the girl with the table
and the chair is at least one layer).

Such things are mostly supported on a reasonably good painting software:

  * [Adobe Photoshop](http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html) (monthly payment)
  * [GIMP](http://www.gimp.org/) (open source)
  * [PaintTool SAI](http://www.systemax.jp/en/sai/) (pay once)
  * [Anime/Manga Studio](http://manga.smithmicro.com/) (pay once)
  * [Paint.NET](http://www.getpaint.net/index.html) (free to use) I am not sure if everything is possible in this software I listed above!
