Study the animation and see how long each effect is. I’d imagine it’s just a few frames.
Determine what has to be drawn by hand, and what doesn’t.
For the handmade stuff, consider a white solid and a mask.
For the other stuff, consider Lend Flare, Shine (Trapcode), Glow and so on.Don’t shy away from handmade stuff. If it’s just a couple of frames, it’s no big deal.
