"PixelAnimationImporter" or "AcespriteAnimationImporter" are good names reflecting the specifics of this project. Just "AnimationImporter" will always imply first and foremost import of animated skeletal meshes, in the unity context.

I would agree that the project could have a better defined name.

Finding the correct one without grabbing a fantasy name proves to be difficult, though. Since it supports both Aseprite and PyxelEdit, a name connected to either one would not fit. Some form of Pixelart is not 100% correct, since even Aseprite doesn't define itself as a pure pixelart tool and could be used as a general sprite tool. I don't agree that AnimationImporter will imply animated skeletal meshes. Unity supports a lot of animation import by default, so any external tool would imply a special use case anyway.

Maybe we'll find a better name in the future. Maybe not.
