We studied the effect of anisotropic cosmic-ray (CR) diffusion for Parker instability by two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. We investigated two cases: a mechanical perturbation case and an explosional perturbation case. In the former case, the growth rate is proportional to the value of the diffusion coefficient of the CR. In the latter case, the growth rate becomes large in the early stages as the value of diffusion coefficient of the CR is getting small. But, after all, the result becomes the same as the former case in the late stages.
