| Shaft Kyoani Bones Madhouse Studio Ghibli Sunrise Production I.G These are the ones i can think of right now. |

| Ahhh yes Ufotable got a great animation style. I enjoyed it a lot too -> Studio SHAFT is good too. Maybe thats the reason why it will produce the next Fate series. -> Studio WIT. Not bad, has a good animation. -> Kyoto Animation: if you like the romance genre, definitely one of the best -> Studio Bones: has great action scenes and good animation style -> Madhouse aren bad either, Rokka no Yuusha from Studio Passione is very similar to the Fate anime when it comes to animation however this studio only has I think about 5 anime produced for now. And only this one truly does focus on the Action part. K project from Studio GoHands is not bad either. Although it has a very colorful animation style XD Anddd we have Studio Trigger with Kill la Kill and Kiznaiver. Great animation style too. |

| -Bones: Kekkai Sensen, Noragami -JC Staff: Shokugeki no Souma (Art is the only thing I liked in this show) -Whitefox: I liked the fight scenes from Re:Zero -Kyoto: Look the trailer of upcoming anime Violet Evergarden. I haven't seen any other great animation from Kyoto I wonder why people say it is one of the best. Overall nothing compares to ufotable in animation imo but I would place Bones second. |

| Studio 3Hz vaulted onto the scene in 2016 with the amazing Flip Flappers. |
| yep shaft is good monogatari amv |

Zetsuke4 said: I don't see how Shaft and 3Hz are considered the top art and animation?? Under what model of the world are Bakemonogatari and Madoka Magica not visually distinctive? I'm not the biggest fan of SHAFT, but I still think Simbo has an powerful artistic sensibility. For instance, look at how he uses rectangular frames to convey a sense of enclosure yet spaciousness in the schools in both those shows. That's an interesting visual metaphor for the nature of Japanese education. The witches' lairs in Madoka are also pretty amazing and unique. I'll add the Kamiyama Kenji + Production I.G team as well, especially for Seirei no Moribito. And what about the collaboration of Toei and Nakamura Kenji for the medicine seller stories, "Bake Neko" and the series Mononoke? Usually I credit directors more than studios with the look of an anime. Nakamura has continued to create unique shows since arriving at Tatsunoko. I'm also often more interested in whether the artwork and story have metaphorical features rather than realistic ones. That's one of the reasons Flip Flappers appeals to me. And even Studio Bee Train, usually not one of my top picks, can turn out some remarkable works like Hyouge Mono if they have the right story and sufficient resources. Here they put light and shadow to great effect as two characters discuss the possibility of assassinating Oda Nobunaga: Strong direction need not always involve a lot of motion. Lighting, pace, and voicing are also important. |

Not everyone shares your particular aesthetic sensibilities. You could try Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis by MAPPA. But I really don't think any suggestions we make will satisfy you. |
| CoMix Wave Films you want the best animation ? watch Kotonoha no Niwa |

Zetsuke4 said: Ufotable's products look terrible though, and you're using it as a basis for your argument. Mononoke is fantastic, the art actually adds to the story. Bones, Madhouse, Prod I.G., KyoAni, JC Staff, Sunrise have made some great anime in the past.Bakemonogatari and Madoka Magic don't look particularly unique. Monosuke looks weird, I wrote "modern" in my original post, not "abstract". Yes, Production IG is definitely very good as well. I don't know why people keep recommending things that barely look good to me, I'm pretty sure I asked for the very best, not the average. This is determined by the colors, the shading, the animations, the special effects, the line art, the details, etc. |

Zetsuke4 said: Ikr what's wrong with SeijiSensei and ToG25thBaam. I kind of feel like I'm being trolled. I have different criteria than you for what is "good" in animated material. You found Mononoke "weird," but that's just because you have different sensibilities from me. When I first watched its predecessor, the "Bakeneko" arc of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales, I was struck by how Nakamura and company used things like the parchment backgrounds and watercolor illustrations to place the program visually in its historical context. I thought many sequences were remarkably well-animated like the Medicine Seller's use of paper ifuda. I also appreciated the timing and pacing of scenes including the near-instantaneous switch from quiet, yet uneasy periods to horrific events and the reactions they elicited. I don't care about "partial realism" in animated programs; if anything I enjoy seeing unrealistic portrayals put to use in the service of a story. Some of my favorite shows like Kill la Kill, Oh! Edo Rocket, Flip Flappers, or Madoka Magica rely often or entirely on unrealistic portrayals. |
| Madhouse are my favorite. One Punch Man, Parasyte, Redline, Death Note, Hunter X Hunter 2011, Black Lagoon, and tons more. From what I can tell based on your debates here, you're looking for a very "standard" look, and not anything super stylized. Which is fine, but SeijiSensei appears to be suggesting more stylized things, while that's not what you're looking for. But just because it's not what you're looking for doesn't make it bad. And just because a lot of people like something doesn't make it good - that's something very important to keep in mind. |

| Shaft is definitely second only to Ufotable IMO, but KyoAni with Violet Evergarden may take the cake. |
