Chroma only works if your theres only 2 colors in the picture so it looks like a mask,But just mask every frame.

Not really.
A lot can be achieves with garbage mattes and chroma keying. Its just about how complicated you want to make it. Regardless for "quick/simple" use Chroma keying is indeed extremely limiting. As its designed to take out a background with clear color offsets. Like a Blue/Green screen etc.
Masking is the best option by far. Masking anime is easier then baking a cake so it shouldn't to too hard.
