Anhedral and dihedral have no effect unless the aircraft is slipping.
Actually, they do have an effect even in a coordinated flight, although honestly I don't know whether it is a major or a purely "2nd order" effect:
With anhedral, the point of application of the combined lift vector is lower. Presumably closer to the CG, thus contributing to the reduction of lateral stability.
