This has very little to do with imagecache - and more so your image library. Your only real shot at this is to use imagemagick - and make sure that the resize routine for gifs performs a coalesce before the resize occurs.

The downside to this is a sometimes drastically larger filesize. There is a GD routine as well, but it is very cumbersome.

Thank you, but i don't understand a thing.. i suppose that the file i have to download is gifanimresize.zip
Is it a module for drupal? Module to import in sites/all/modules?
Thanks

You need to install imagemagick on your server if it is not available already - and select the imagemagick helper module instead of GD.

You could ask your host if imagemagick is available - I can't tell you for sure, as I'm not your server administrator - imagemagick may very well be installed.

There's a working hack here: http://drupal.org/node/1130342#comment-4816152.

NOTE: It's never a good idea to alter contrib or code code but in this case it's on a module in Drupal 6 that's in maintenance mode as additional functionality efforts are now directed towards the D7 core code.
