I tried one free gif animator and it did not support transparency so I used adobe image ready. As for feedback I really like the bottom one.
As for the top one I dont really like the effect on the render, that's an aesthetic choice though, I have more trouble with the text, first that his name is blocked, that's a rather strange choice and second the white stroke around "The Aerith" Makes it hard to read, I would choose a different effect or change the stroke or text color.
