Yeah I get it why but some people have different reasons why they hate it. For me at least is because they don't have any traits that makes them different.

For some people because of ANIPLEX they're pushing the studio into a mass production of low effort anime adaptation.

It’s only some that hate them and those that do make a great deal out of it, hence making you think as though A-1 Pictures is hated.
In reality, however, they’ve been one of the most prominent Studios out there in recent years, especially, and are highly regarded among the major chunk of the Community.

Maybe because they screwed up some adaptations. Personally, I don't hate them though, like with any other studio, there is bad and good stuff out there.

A-1 Pictures created the modern anime masterpiece Eromanga Sensei. I mean how can u hate A-1. Anime has gotten this far nowadays thanks to genius individuals behind shows like that.

They are surely not the most loved animation studio, I feel like their anime are very hit or miss. But they are far away from studios like Pierrot and Toei.

Dunno. There are companies which are much more hated, for example Trigger or KyoAni.
A poll asking "which company do you hate most" would be more interesting and informative

Yeah, how dare those people who've actually done research into the anime industry not like what they found. How dare they.

"Why do people hate A1-Pictures so much?"
For titles like Birdy the Mighty: Decode 02, Blue Exorcist , Vividred Operation, Aldnoah.Zero, Persona 4: The Golden Animation, Ace Attorney, Occultic;Ninea and Fate/Apocrypha.
Also some Sword Art Online haters will make fuss about it.

As any animation studio they have some great stuff, some mediocre stuff and some bad stuff.
Those I listed above except Birdy Decode 02 and Ace Attorney are technically good projects.

Tbf they're more or less meh than bad. I mean the only thing I could say that the hate on A1 runs on either SAO or Asterisk Wars. That's my guess.

A1 is middle ground for me. They typically make good looking shows with competent music composers, but the writing staff leaves something to be desired. Darling in the Franxx and Erased were both huge botches that started off strong just to finish poorly. At the very least they're not Studio Deen.

They have an appallingly low ratio of good shows to bad shows. For every Your Lie in April or Shin Sekai Yori, there are (probably literally at this point) a thousand wastes of humanity's collective consciousness.

They did popularize the generic modern anime look.
Most of their anime that aren't super popular are cheap looking
Most of the shows I've watched from them are bad or reeeaaally bad.
They seem to fuck up adaptations often, too.

Granted, I haven't watched some of the most popular shows (Erased, Your Lie In April, Anohana, etc.).

2 A-1 shows this season (Yakusoku no Neverland and Kaguya-sama wa Kokorowetai) are great shows that look really nice, too.
Doukyuusei (Movie), and Saint Onii-san are great, too.

I just want a second season of Tsuritama, is that so much to ask for A1?

Oh well, don't really hate em, but they've made a lot of anime people don't really like so I guess that's why people hate them? Plus I guess their art looks like the "generic" anime art style, I mean it's true sometimes but anime like Doukyuusei and Shinkensai Yori ditch the trend so...

Their good balances out the bad for me though, like even though I don't like 90% of their anime (Ano Hana, Persona, Fairy Tail) I really like the ones that I like; Saint Onnesan, Ookiku Furikabutte, Magic Kaito.

tbh, I find it hard to hate A1 because even though they don't always make anime I like, they made a good shounen-ai and that's all that matters.

To be more accurate, Promised Neverland is being handled by Cloverworks, which is a branch studio from A-1 Picture's main studio, and they haven't produced much yet but they have noticeably better animation than the main studio.

As far as people hating A-1 Pictures, it's because they're the EA or Activision of anime studios, their animation is either really good or really bad in the same show and never in between, their art looks cheap and is often off-model, and they are awful at adapting previously-made works 90% of the time, with exceptions like Silver Spoon, Blend S and Wotakoi.

I completely agree with your points, except about saying that CloverWorks is better than A-1.
CloverWorks made Persona 5 The Animation, Slow Start, Weird Gay Rape Thing and Bunny Senpai (good but not well animated). The only good looking show they have is Neverland. That's 1/5. I don't think that A-1 has dropped the ball as badly.
Franxx was made by both studios and Trigger, so there can't be a comparison there.

Why must hate the anime studio that gives you almost all your favourite modern anime at this time...just look up at every single season when airing anime started, the name of A-1 Pictures must have it there...and sometimes they made more than one series at particular season....it being the most constant studio that bring up anime whenever from other sources (although some screwed, but at least they make it)...

The reason they are quite disliked might be that they produce lots of popular shows which often have glaring problems.

I don't personally hate them (I actually like a lot of the stuff they produce) but probably because some people dislike shows that they have released. Sword Art Online, Asterisk War, Eromanga Sensei and some others get a lot of criticism.

Why do people hate A1 pictures? They don't.
There's more topics on "Why do people hate A1 pictures?" than there are topics of anything else regarding A1 pictures. Yet as far I can tell, topics asking people's opinion of A1 pictures in a neutral manner i.e. "What do you think of A1 pictures?", seems to draw a generally positive response.

Having someone relatively well-known convey their opinions of something can cause a handful of people to hop onto the bandwagon, then create a false perception that people in general have that opinion. I think it's pretty clear I'm referring to Digibro in this case, but I'm not really criticising him actually. Digibro seems to genuinely think for himself, with his stated disdain of A1 pictures mirroring how he rates his anime on MAL. A1 pictures placed last at 243rd for him out of all studios based on malgraph.


Why do I hate A1 pictures? I don't either. I've seen a few good shows coming from the studio once in a while, so that's nice. They do produce some awful shows, but I've got no issues just dropping them and pretending they never existed.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

They're alright, nothing spectacular overall. This season has been their best season since Demi-chan aired two years ago, and the gap inbetween has pretty much been filled with trash like FranXX and Apocrypha.

Short answer: Digibro

Long answer: Digibro has not liked a single A1-Pictures anime since So Ra No Wo To, and after watching SAO 2, Aldnoah.Zero and Gakusen Toshi Asterisk in a short period of time, he came to realize he hated A1-Pictures and then made efforts to badmouth the studio.

Because they won't make Magi S3...ok the adaptation cuts a lot out of its source and the second half of the manga is not that cool perhaps, but I really want a third season, geez, I mean even the worst arc is better than any shitty Fairy Tail arc, sadly this is way more popular than Magi.

A-1 to me is like a slot machine.
A lot of their anime is shit, but very rarely it can give out gems.

A1 pictures is a solid studio and their floor for anime is very high for studio
Is more often their anime is worth then not
And with some of their works like
Kaguya Sama and solo leveling
If you don't like those anime I consider you a huge exception if you tell me you love anime
Considering the quantity of works the put out is impressive they are still giving some amazing adaptation
