Really, it's not that bad (but it depends on the game you're ripping of course), you just need patience sometimes. However there are tile programs such as Tile Molester like ant mentioned, YY-CHR and etc. that let you view the game's graphics including every sprite of the characters and such, as tiles that you'd need to put together, but occasionally it ends up being more trouble than if you ripped them the old fashioned way. As far as I know, there isn't a way to do that, but you can also ask any questions you have about ripping here.
For the most part I do just use AnimGet and disable the layers (if you use AnimGet you might want to stop it before it gets up into the thousands of screenshots, since they take a while to save). It does usually take time, but it's not too hard. You just play through the game and get as many sprites as you can find, and if you find more later you can always update your sheet. It might seem tough/annoying at first but you should get the hang of it. This is all coming from someone who really enjoys doing it and is used to it, but I do think you'll find it's not too bad once you try it.
Sorry for all that.
