Their adaptation of Chaos;Head is generally panned and regarded as a poor treatment of the visual novel.

Every studio has their bad anime. Madhouse had Mahou Sensou and Mahouka just one season apart in 2014, for instance. While Mahouka's quality is polarizing, I think most will agree that Mahou Sensou is just... well, a terrible anime, and that was by Madhouse. I'm sure there are a lot more, but I've not seen seen them personally. A studio with so many titles is bound to have its black sheep(s).

Lots of "good anime" from madhouse have their quality coming from the source material rather than from the anime itself. As an anime studio they aren't that great ImO. Lots of blunders, and the like.
Look at what happens when the source isn't good : you get the disaster that is Mahou sensou. A source that was already doubtful to be good rushed so much that it became a ridiculously incomprehensible train-wreck.

Ironically Madhouse fanboys will always dismiss cases such as mahou sensou saying it's the fault of the source material and only of the source material, but will still praise Madhouse as being responsible when they adapt good source material. Suddenly when the anime is good, the source material isn't responsible for it being good. it's only when it's bad.
That's so cute.

Don't get me wrong , they REALLY did very good stuff tho. But they did a shit tons of anime, so that's to be expected, in a way.

Madhouse's anime currently airing (Alderamin) has ALL of its strength coming from the original material. ALL of it. And all of what peoples complain about comes from the anime.

Yes Madhouse is not the all powerful Overlord that people think it is. Don't me get wrong they've produced a lot of good stuff, but with the departure of a lot of their key staff over the years they kinda hit a bump.

Chaos;Head was a very weak adaptation of the visual novel. It had all the makings of a terrible anime including but not limited to rushed ending, poor development, leaving out explanations etc.

I don't think Mahou Sensou is that much of a 'bad production' as much as it is a bad adaptation. I think they knew there wasn't much value in the work so when adapting it they just made it a rushed commercial and ended it there.

I haven't watched Alderamin yet, but doesn't that still mean they managed to translate it over to the anime medium without taking away anything from the source? Or do you mean that the only good things about it are what was retained from the source? Plenty of studios take away good things from the source, so keeping the good parts from being lost when moving into a different medium and thus (usually) making those strong parts work in this new medium is enough for me to call a studio good.

I agree with you that you should never generalize or avoid acknowledging failures the way some people do though, don't get me wrong.

How've you been btw?

Fuck Madhouse, they're overrated as shit, all of the shit I've seen from them has just been "animated manga" or "light novels but with arm movement instead of monolouging" or fucking whatever. Tatami Galaxy is the only thing I've seen from them that didn't do that, cause not only does Tatami have a bunch of awesome shit about it, I heard that it's actually different from the novel(correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm hoping that the Satoshi Kon stuff is going to be as good as Wolf Children was, so they would atleast make good movies.

Anyways, Madhouse is overr8, praise Gainax.

I don't think he even cares too much about his own thread, ever since he didn't post again and didn't specify much, besides mentioning that other one that back again, wasn't asking for popularity as only you interpret.

As far as opinion goes, sometimes is less depressing than facts! There's way too many people aroused by little girls and stories trying to run away from reality instead of getting a grasp of it - even if from an innovative angle.

I don't think it is that bad overall, I still was able to like it, but particularly the animation in Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto is often poor.

I saw the Iron Man anime (oh hey I even forgot to add it to my list, gonna do that now) and Black Widow vs Punisher.
Yeah they weren't very good (particularly Iron Man)
oh yeah, and there's also Devil May Cry, that sucked too.

Overlord's story is too slow, but it is by no means generic. Don't throw around words whose meaning you don't know.

I see your "Mahou Sensou", and raise "Abenobashi Mahou☆Shoutengai", meaningless and merciless. And not funny enough to work.

I could not endure Di Gi Charat long enough to comment about it much, but it was notably bad.

Overlord: Ple Ple Pleiades series of specials is probably the worst. Way worse than specials to Chuu2Koi in the other thread.

Is this even a question? They have so many bad anime.

Madhouse is quite possibly the worst animation studio of all time. They have so many garbage series under their profile it's astounding. Photo Kano, mahou sensou, mahouka, marvel anime, hotd, chaos;head & the list goes on & on. Not to mention how grossly overrated hxh2011 is as an adaptation, when hxh99 does everything so much better. Why even such an obviously bad studio has so much popularity & acclaim behind it is beyond me.
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).

Madhouse studio is a very prolific studio and in many ways are like prolific voice actors.
When you have so many anime/VO roles there will always be garbage in your resume (everyone needs to make a living and sometimes you can't push the boat out and take chances) But still the overall bulk of Madhouse's work leans more towards quality than crap.

monster, death note, hajime no ippo, all the satoshi kon stuff, nana, trigun, death parade, black lagoon, and so on
they made so many good stuff, from all sorts of genres, both in percentage and absolute numbers, that you'd have to try hard to not like at least one of their shows

but given it's the studio with the highest weighted score by far on your malgraph i cant help but think i have been baited, in which case 8/8 gr8 sir

Jokes. Like no disrespect to Wolf Children but for me Perfect Blue does many things right that I see in high regard. One of those being having both really good horror AND a really good story/characters. Plus I'm a sucker for media that analyses pop culture.

Meh with ufotable they don't really have many known works outside of The Garden of Sinners and the Fate series aside from God Eater and Tales of Zesteria. Maybe like Kyoto Ani, Bones or J.C. Staff.
