With CGI you can do whatever you want with the animation and it is still looking good. SO it is pointless to search for the best studio in that matter. What important there is which style of artistic design would fit the content of the adaption.
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!

How can they see the love in our eyes
And still, they don't believe us?
And after all this time
They don't want to believe us

MAPPA: some of it's high quality fights

These are some pretty obvious ones, but they all produce high quality animation.

1. Bones
2. MAPPA
3. ufoTable
4. A-1 Pictures
5. Toei ( this is a bit heated, i agree, but some of their things are really really good )
6. Madhouse
7. Wit Studio ( I believe they have enough credits now to be considered one of the best - Vinland & Shingeki no Kyojin )

These are the ones I truly rememeber because of their works, There are other, but I do not remember them as much. For example :- Pierrot

As someone who knows how the industry works, I find that associating the quality of animation with the building it was made in rather than the individuals who made it to be asinine, particularly since certain well-animated series (coughcoughonepunchmanseason1cough) were only so great because of their director's connections or just really good production managers who could get in touch with great freelance talent.


That being said, Bones is pretty loaded with great in-house staff that works almost exclusively for them, and the most consistently well-produced output out of all the studios whose work I've seen.

even though everyone pretty much knows ufotable is badass, after seeing the heavens feel III movie, we can no longer deny that its the best one, the next one being KyoAni, bones, Ghibli and shaft. i cannot really say madhouse because they don't really have a lot of intense animation or maybe im missing something lmao

The lack of P.A.Works in this thread is disturbing.

ufotable is inconsistent. Do people forget the ugly CGI they often use?

Shaft only really do well with their movies. Their TV anime animation doesn't look so good.

I pretty much agree with the rest.

Shaft TV series have really inconsistent animation they just cover it up pretty well with direction tricks.

Kyoto Animation
PA Works has great animation but direction can be wildly inconsistent
Bones
Ufotable
Doga Kobo especially in recent years where they stepped up their game

For TV series it's an easy win for KyoAni.
For movies it's either Ghibli or Madhouse.

To tell the truth, every animation studio helps each other, so there r cases when animators works for different studios. This bussines is really poor and being animator is pretty tragic. So I feel like every studio can bring a very good quality show(as long as there's money). But ofc. if u want consistency, then those mentioned above are good examples.
Here's good vid about the whole thing.

Clover Works is owned by A1 which is owned by Sony. I think of Clover Works as the B-Unit and training ground of A1, and if you perform well you can move to A1.

You're not wrong when you say that I like flashy effects, I really do. But my reply to rsc-pl has nothing to do with that. That person said that they didn't "understand the hype" behind these studios. I was just making it obvious, if it wasn't already.
