I go one step further by keeping a linked list of "cells" for each "animation". Each cell describes how many frames to display an image for and where to find the image (I'm using quads so I store texture_id and uv co-ordinates, but anim image handle and frame index would work too.) Whenever I want a "sprite" (a game object, not a "Blitz Sprite") to start a new animation, I set the its animation cell pointer to the first node of the animation and reset its frame counter. My game loop automatically increments all sprites' frame counters by 1 and advances them to the next animation cell when required.
