| Obviously we have Ghibli as far critically acclaimed anime, and everyone has their personal preference on what their favorite is. But as far consistently putting out good shows every year, variety of different genres and style, quality animation, faithful adaptations, it seems like if we look at it objectively Madhouse is perhaps the greatest anime studio. They've even made their mark outside of Japan working marvel comics. I hear "I wish madhouse adapted it" more than any other studio. |

| Madhouse is one of my favorite studios because they do really good adaptations and they have an immense repertoire of hit shows. I appreciate that a lot of those shows have adult protagonists, such as Kaiji, Monster, Nana, Death Parade, Black Lagoon, etc. |
 |
| i like madhouse cause it provides me with mature anime for mature anime watchers such as myself |
 |
| Well they certainly have some of the most experience, being one of the oldest studios still in circulation, and have produced a wide, wide array of lots of quality works over the years. Madhouse's biggest strength is their versatility, they seem to let their directors and production staff do what they like for the most part instead of sticking to a single studio-mandated style. That said, not everything they have produced is gold, and they are my second favourite studio overall (my favourite is Shaft because I am just a dumb sucker for their style of visual presentation). romagia said: i like madhouse cause it provides me with mature anime for mature anime watchers such as myself Also this, in a not shitposty way. |
| Hmm in recent years no, but over their lifetime I can't deny that they have made a lot of great anime including many of my favorites. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| It is the studio that adapted many of the anime I like so it kinda is the greatest anime studio for me. |

| Yeah I'd say they're my favorite alongside Bones and Gainax. With that said they have their weaknesses. They tend to put little soul into their adaptations, making it essentially the source just in animated form without much uniqueness beyond that. While they are mostly accurate, they still feel hollow from a stylistic standpoint. In addition to that is their infamous inability to count to 2. |

| They make good shows sticking to how its suppose to be and improving on what it lacks its not the greatest but it manages to get itself on my top list of the best studios. |

| Yeah I like MAPPA too. 15charslimit |
| yes. yes it is. while other studios like shaft and KyoAni have a single unique style and often adapt some particular genres, Madhouse has multiple styles and they are the most diversed anime studio when it comes to genres, animation and even the types of the source material they adapt.. for example..if you want a sport anime..they made Hajime no Ippo which is arguably the best sport anime..and it is the highest rated sport anime here on MAL (well if you ignored HQ's sequel) if you want some elitist shit..they have Monster, Tatami Galaxi, Texhnolyze..ect if you want a LN adaption..they made NGNL which is I believe it's the 3d highest rated LN adaption on MAL (the first is Suzumiya Haruhi movie and the second is Monogatari series S2 and they are both got sequel effect to boost their scores) if you want some western-like anime such as Cowboy Bebob, you have Trigun if you want some long running battle shounen anime, they made HxH 2011 which is the best long running anime on MAL.. if you want some family-friendly movies like Miyazaki stuffs, they have Hosoda stuffs.. if you want some Mega hit mainstream anime like AoT or SAO, they have Death Note.. if you want a god-like animation like Akira movie, they have Redline.. if you want a shoujo anime, they have Nana which is the 3d highest rated shoujo on MAL (ignoring Natsume Yuujinchou's sequels) I could go on and on but that will probably take too long so I'll leave it here.. Madhouse is like a bunch of animation studios in one company.. |

 |
| I would like to thank the overlords at Madhouse for giving us No Game No Life. However, KyoAni best. |
 |
| I love Madhouse. Favorite studio by far. |
 |
| They were better before they got sold out, the only thing they're good for now is "muh faithful adaptations" a.k.a moving manga with no soul in them, and they're good for adapting good sources. Before they actually had soul they put into their stuff though. Madhouse has made a lot of stuff anyways, like 3rd behind Toei and Sunrise for stuff made. There's definitely a good amount of bad and good in that, but you'll probably never watch many of the bad. Trigger and Bones are better. The only MAPPA show I've watched is Ushio to Tora but that's better then 99% of the Madhouse shows I've watched so I guess it's better too. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Madhouse is the best no doubt, they make anything and everything while still having consistently good quality with it. Same can't be said about any other studios. |

| I'd personally say Bones is the greatest, but Madhouse is a strong second (and the only real contender). |

CrossfitJesus said: No because they're not Gainax and Madhouse has produced a lot of shit recently. But Gainax's present day output is both a shame to its former glory and much inferior in quality to Madhouse's recent work (even acknowledging that Madhouse has lost some of it's own luster). |
| Got oppai? |
| Maybe the old version; new one stinks but people will sink into anything if they convince themselves it's good. |

Fanboys said: you talk as if they've been doing bad anime after another when the only thing they did bad since mahou sensou in 2013 is PoS..and you can blame the source material for both..(I don't want to mention Mahouka because I actually liked it)For the past of years yes, but now they're shit |

j0x said: because they don't (didn't) care about money as much as other studio..? maybe..?Madhouse is only popular to none japanese fans, they almost went bankrupt few years ago, i even heard that japanese fans call Madhouse a western oriented studio because much of their work is only well received overseas and nah they are far from the most profitable/popular studio too in japan here is some proof Madhouse - http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=781179&show=20#post37 Sunrise http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=781179#post2 Kyoto Animation http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=781179#post3 and many more here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=781179 |
Layfonkun said: Madhouse? Probably but Sunrise and Bones are underappreciated and tbh put out comparable (if not at times better) work. Shoutout to Brain's Base and Artland though, they deserve more shine. I agree, Madhouse did produce quality anime in the past but they are surpassed by many studios now. I like Bones better then Madhouse. |

| Yeah, I gotta' say I really love Madhouse. They've made a surprisingly large amount of great shows. |

| Same here Madhouse is favorite anime studio thus far, mostly all the anime they produced I enjoyed them.. |
 |
| Anyone who says Madhouse has been terrible recently is terrible themselves. In the past 5 years alone, we've had: - Hunter x Hunter 2011 (one of the most acclaimed shounen anime of all time) - Chihayafuru (the 2nd best goddamn sports anime ever made) - Wolf Children (a goddamned good film with a comparatively weak climax) - Btooom! (a decently-popular action series that seems to be pretty good) - Chihayafuru 2 (the 3rd best goddamn sports anime ever made) - Sunday Without God (a wildly-popular...thing that people seem to like, I can't say anything about it myself) - Hajime no Ippo: Rising (a goddamned good continuation of the best sports anime ever made) - Death Parade (another wildly-popular series that seems to have good writing attached to it) - Ore Monogatari!! (the cutest anime ever made, bar none) - One-Punch Man (a wildly-popular action series that looks like a fuckload of fun) Obviously, I can't vouch for every one of these titles, but my reliable sources and my personal experience combine to state that all of these anime are at least deserving of being called "rock-solid" if not "excellent." And that's all in just the past 5 years. |

| They brought to life Death Note and Hunter x Hunter (2011), so it is obviously a studio I'm very fond of. My favorite studio is and will continue being Gainax, though. |
