| I usually tend not to care about companies (except fucking Pierrot). I've seen them getting a lot of critique, some of which just feels like straight up hating. They're no ufotable, for sure. |

| I like some of their anime (Shinsekai Yori, Grimgar) and some of them I don't (SAO2). Overall they are a good studio capable of making good anime. |
 |
| They can be pretty good if they want but most of the time they're just attention-whoring. Can't really blame them though, the more attention you get the more you're paid. |
 |
| I mean, I've had largely good experiences with stuff by them so I'd say I like them. |
 |
| I really don't care about the company which makes anime, except if it's A1-Pictures, Pierrot or Toei. Then I'm kinda careful about the anime. But other than that, everything is fine. And now A1-Pictures... What should I say? They have some hits and some misses, but they are not too bad to be honest, |
 |
| I think it's almost always a miss, I am very hesitant to watch any more of their anime. |

| A1 "technically" doesn't exist, so it's hard to say. What truly matters is the staff for the specific series, and not the studio as a whole. That being said I think their best work is Shinsekai Yori. |
| i have nothing against them i like their animation and art |
 |
| They just hrie random freelancers for their shows so there's no consistency or reasonable expectations to hold based on the studio and more often than not it doesn't feel like the staff they hire cares very much for the stuff they animate either because of that. Their animation is very business-like but tends to lack the passion and attention to detail that studios like Trigger or KyoAni bring to the table. Doesn't help that they pay their animators like shit from what I know. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| C-Tier Studio. A little better than Deen. |
| Decent, hope they do well for the Idolm@ster SideM Anime adaption |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Incapable of producing quality work like almost every other studio nowadays. |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| Above average that's how I see them. |
| i think they're the studio with the most new titles on average per year |
 |
| 38 Positive/5 Negative/57 Abstentions For Not Having Seen Them. Since I'm not counting abstentions which are default no votes in democracy so counting them would be dumb in this case.... Verdict: Positive |

| According to MALgraph, it's ranked 86 out of 126 for me. With Studio Perriot being 126. Lmao. I'll give them a thumbs up though, for animating Asuna's nips in the SAO movie. |
| Most of the time, their works are a miss for me. |

 |
| Statistically it has taken the place of my highest rated studio if I use weighted scores on MALGraph out of 149 studios. In terms of purely time watched they ranked 5th so I would wager they have a broad appeal of shows that tend to fit my tastes. |
| I don't want to use profanity so i'll keep my opinion to myself |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| A-1 created Idolm@ster so I'm okay with them. Every stuffs like SAO is forgivable thanks to it. |
 |
| I'd say their marketing is stellar. You can almost always find an A-1 shows on the top 10 popular each season. As for the quality, I have no strong opinion about them. |
 |
| I don't have nothing against them, I just wish they could handle their battle shounens adaptations a bit better. |
 |
| As much as their name should be cursed for giving us Sword Art Online, they also gave us Erased and So Ra No Wo To. I am conflicted. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Neutral. They produce both good and bad shows at the same time :c 54/101 according to MALgraph :c was expecting it to at least be around 20 haha |
| Hit or miss exacly, but no need to hate them. If they had made an interesting looking anime I'd watch it. |
 |
| There isn't particularly any consistency in the staff that creates the anime there, so seeing A1 pictures as the studio doesn't mean a thing. It's actually A1 pictures especially that heavily utilises freelancers. Basically every good work and every bad work cannot really be seen as a track record for what is to come in the future from A1 pictures. So while you or I may have an opinion on A1 pictures based on our impressions built up from their previous works, none of it is accurate and none of it matters. Holds true for most other anime studios out there as well, it's pretty much an industry wide practice, with a few notable exceptions. |

| 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. My MAL Interview |
| i can't even called A-1 is an animation studio, they are more like an animation company... they are headed by buch of business man who will haired the one who available with freelance and will do any jobs as long they paid for it... hence why they series has really long range... from famous long run (like fairy tail and space brother) until experimental short nobody remembered (like that short with train and lot of ads)... from as saveas it can (like idols) until really controversial (like saint oniisan)... if you love consistency, A-1 definitely not for you... but overall, they not always really bad at producing stuff... you can't really blame A-1 model of business, since it's everywhere, tho A-1 really like the pinacle out of it... BTW WHERE THE FUCK MY YUGAMI-KUN ADAPTATION A-1? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| If I remember correctly Working is from A1 pictures and I love that show.Not my favorite studio btw which is Madhouse. But yeah some of their shows are a bit overrated and i watched some and I ended up being dissapointed. |

| I do like their work quite a bit actually. Haven't really seen anything bad by them. I do recognize they don't have a signature style though but how easy is it to get one if you only employ freelancers? |

| @NoobAsian Because of the discord bait i'm tagging you here |
No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| Not a fan. As far as I can tell, they never put real effort or a discerning eye into what the produce. They're more concerned about the money than making a good quality anime, so they just crank out everything they can with little to no effort put into it. If they eve do come out with anything good, it's because they were given some good source material to work with, like when they made Erased or Interviews with Monster Girls. I prefer a studio that puts more time and genuine love into what they make, like Shaft, KyoAni and Trigger. If they make it, even if it's a flop, at least it would look good flopping |
| I've only seen 4 anime they've produced: Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru (rated with 5) Tbh I can't even remember it. Shinsekai yori (rated with 7) Was good but didn't resonate with me enough to get an 8+ score but production-wise it was excellent. So Ra No Wo To (rated with 9) In my top 10 love this show to death. Notable PTW: Your Lie in April, AnoHana All-in-all I'd say very positive up till now and looking forward to those two in my PTW (a few other lesser known ones are in my PTW besides those two). |

| They made The iDOLM@STER and Sora no Woto, which are very well drawn/animated with great direction. For animation, I would point at the concert scenes in the former, and for art, I'd mention the detail and attention given to the latter's representation of Cuenca, Spain. Working!! which for at least the second season was ridiculously hilarious, and Saint Young Men which is a treasure trove for situational comedy, I liked as well, but while they're slightly stylized aesthetically, they're not really that memorable in terms of how they look. Everything else...kind of a mixed bag. They definitely do animation quite well, but when they're not on their A-game, everything tends to look really flat and dulled, where a lot of the animated scenes has its art drop in quality quite noticeably. I suppose if I had a problem with them, it's that they aren't really consistent. |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| By ratio I would say they're a 70/30... 70% Are great well made shows like Nanatsu no Taizai, Your Lie in April, ERASED etc... 30% Go off track from source material, aren't that well animated or are just bad in general (Black Butler, Fairy Tail, SAO etc) But they have gotten better in recent years and have been steadily producing good material... I like quite a few of their animes so it's on my like list |
| They made a lot of good shows and a lot of bad shows. |
