Anime FPS etc.

I'd like to know standard anime framerate, if this knowledge exists. Specifically, I'm referring to modern TV series, but if anyone knows differences for movies or if there are differences at all, then please share whatever knowledge you have.

24fps

29.97 fps for ntsc stuff(hopefully) , generally interlaced(if from non-decimated, non-telecined raw) , however you can encounter 29.97 telecined(no combs)

25fps - PAL , rarely for anime, common in europe and EU DVDs , even thou its just speed up film without interlacing(from 24) , this is rarely true for anime, which generally goes from ntsc->pal making really horrible ,sometimes irreparable source

24fps - FILM , non-interlaced, generally fine, quite rare for anime(amost never), however common for cinema/movies flics/etc

23.976fps - decimated/telecined ntsc, non-interlaced, either original or processed source, common for de-interlaced anime(like dvdrips or fansubs),usually its the stuff you download or original master(depends)

Well,those are the ideal cases, however there is also VFR, which contains hybrid fps, like 30fps sections and 24fps sections, and they need to be handled with care when encoding.

I was more referring to how often the cels are changed in a second. Point, I'd like to make a Flash set to a framerate that would make it resemble the general smoothness of anime without being too detailed.

I've heard anywhere from 8 to 24, depending on quality of a scene. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

possibly true, i think it was somewhere around 18, however i cannot gurantee it. you might want to try using dedup(avisynth plugin) and see what is the real fps, would be most accurate way of confirming this.

Most things are 8 or 12 drawings per second or "threes and twos". It vary in divisions of 24.

Yeah - it can vary within an episode - a good example recently was the 'Live a Live' episode of Haruhi - the framerate went way up for the section where they were playing in the band in order to get a more 'realistic' feel for the tempo.
