| Kids on the slope was really good. |
peeyaj said: They certainly capture this phrase with their works, everything I've seen from them has really had its own distinctive shape to it. I'd say their best work is Garo (despite scoring Punch Line/Slope higher) even if only because of episode 18.People tell us that Mappa "The objective behind the studio is to achieve greater creative freedom to pursue projects that may be less obviously commercial." |

| They are not my favorite Studio but they try to make original good Anime and I love Masao Maruyamas I dont give a fuck I wanna make original Anime attitude |
bobzanny said: I think they are a solid studio. Pretty young but they've done some good work. If they adapt Ushio to Tora properly then they could end up becoming a really great studio. This^. They actually wanted to make a full adaptation of Ushio to Tora before the author decided to cut stuff out into 39 episodes just to see the final fight animated as soon as possible so if they can make it a great adaptation, it'll be my go to studio for old manga adaptation. The first two episodes are good enough and I enjoyed all of their works so far except maybe Punchline which is kinda average compared to their other shows. |
| I tend to like their stuff the same way I enjoy Christopher Nolan or Naughty Dog for their ability to tell a story, as well as their usage of visuals to do so. Seen all their stuff (although I never finished Ippo) and really loved Kids on the Slope, Terror in Resonance, and Garo. Their other anime are okay (I'm including Ippo in this), and whilst I can't like all their stuff, they're the only studio these days whose anime I actually go into with some sort of excitement based on their name. Until they start making LN adaptations. After that, I'm tossing them aside the same way I tossed aside Ubisoft after 2014 happened. |

| MAPPA is a great studio. Yeah, Punchline was terrible, but nobody's perfect... they had to mess up at some point. Ushio to Tora will make up for it, though. |

ichii_1 said: rarely agree with you, but, this time is almost same, except punchline because i don't like the mc.Punchline was average. terror something is full of teen angst Ushio to tora is their best work in years. |
 "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." |
| I can't really judge the whole studio as I have only seen one of their works and that Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis. It was too good considering it was adapated from a mediocre card game. I didn't expect it. Looking at their anime line-up though, I think they're really living up to their goal as all their anime look unique in some way. |

Can't wait for Ushio to Tora in fall.People tell us that Mappa "The objective behind the studio is to achieve greater creative freedom to pursue projects that may be less obviously commercial." |

Chibi-Alice said: Kids on the slope was really good. Not it wasn't. In a nutshell :they can create a great premise for their series but its accompanied with a very lousy execution.Having original IP's is a good thing,but not knowing what to do with them is just as worse as adapting low tier light novels or H VN's... |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
HeroKenzan said: But every single studio has that, and animation studios should just like the name says it animate, so even when something is shit, if it animated well, the animation studio did a good job.Milk_is_Special said: Ufotable isn't a bad production studio, they do infact exactly what they should do, animate things gorgeously.

| Old Madhouse with Masao Maruyama |
| It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on. |
| They are a great studio who actually takes chances with the shows they make, sadly they dont make profit so im enjoying it while it last. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| They're ok. As long as they don't produce too many shit quality shows like SnB |
 |
| I haven't watched much of them, but so far they're doing pretty good. |
 |
| They give us a nice variety of works that's for sure. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| They are a really good studio, but whenever I see their animator staff I cant stop from calling them "madhouse 2.0". Maruyama certainly gives the creative control of the show to the directors tho. I just hope he resolves whatever conflict he has with NTV-madhouse since NTV might be the only one who'd fund the last satoshi kon project at this point. (given NTV funded death parade - turning a trainee madhouse project into one cour anime) the five years are running out. |
| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| MAPPA is one of the few studios capable of saving the anime and making sure that anime is more than simply a mistake. Easily alongside the studios whose anime no matter the synopsis, I always would try out. |
 |
| I liked everything from them except Punchline and ZNT is average but not bad at all. One thing for sure they make stylish looking animes |
| I absolutely loved SnB and ZnT. Punchline was terrible before I dropped tho So 2 against 1 for now Ushio to Tora is decent so far |
| I like them, exactly because of the fact that they're during something different everytime i hear about them. Both art style and story telling. |
 |
| They worked on Hajime no Ippo Rising with Madhouse? They seem like a good studio. Garo was surprisingly interesting too. |
BatoKusanagi said: MAPPA is a great studio. Yeah, Punchline was terrible, but nobody's perfect... they had to mess up at some point. Ushio to Tora will make up for it, though. Well you pretty much summed it for me. I actually do plan watching Kids on the Slope though! |
| Rage of Bahamut is a cool show |
| I see why Madhouse almost went bankrupt with this guy around now. If you exclude the co-op shows, MAPPA shows range from average to trash. I've seen all of Garo (average) and SnB (bad). I am currently watching Garo the crimson moon(garbage). Crimson Moon has to be one of the biggest insults to anime. It is abject in nature. I am 6 episodes in and the plot has not moved an inch, if there is even a plot. The humour is noncomical, predictable, repetitive and cringe-worthy. The same can be said for the plot. The characters have 0 development and are cliche. The fights are literally 1 minute long and have 0 tension or climax. Everything is forced and edgy as hell. From what I've seen so far, I can only dismiss the studio as garbage. peeyaj said: People tell us that Mappa "The objective behind the studio is to achieve greater creative freedom to pursue projects that may be less obviously commercial." It is indeed ironic. Their plot and characters are so generic. The characters are unchanging and forced into their roles. The only thing unique is the setting pretty much. Everything else has been done to death already. Their shows fail more miserably than basic shounens, which utilise these generic concepts but at least have a quirk that differs it ever so slightly from others. Note, I had no idea that MAPPA were behind these works until after I've seen all these shows. I also never read the studio list. |
| I forgot to add. Their shows literally have copied and pasted characters from their other series. Exact same character and personality but different appearance. |
| I liked Bahamut very much and Ushio to Tora is also good imo. I don't have seen many of its shows though. |
 |
| They are a good studio, pretty consistent in content but they still lack of geniality... I still enjoyed lot of his works, like kidss on the slope or punchline, and still have to see zankyou no terror. |
| at this point I wonder why people were saying that Madhouse isn't good anymore because half of their "talented staffs" moved to Mappa..:/ |
Miraclezify said: MAPPA is by far the best studio around. They've got some of the best animation quality (second probably only to UFOtable) and they put a lot of attention into their work. Teekyuu is pretty much the short that made shorts. Terror in Resonance is the closest to perfect an anime has gotten in the past few years (fuck y'all guys who don't know what metaphorical character writing is). Rage of Bahamut is the closest to Pirates of the Caribbean level of fun anime has ever gotten. Garo is just straight up the best anime of 2014. And all three of these were out in 2014. zankyou no terror perfect anime? the story makes no sense and the characters are shallow amd the themes are a joke the only things in where it excels is animation and soundtrack |
tr1ckst3r said: Shingeki no Bahamut and GARO had pretty solid animation IIRC. They're pretty good as a studio imo. This. Garo s2 on the other hand... |
| The colouring is always a feast for the eye, impressive animation. It is too bad I dropped Shigeki no Bahamut, but it looked fantastic. Too bad the plot was a bit too thin, same with Garo. Though I still have to continue watching Garo, but at least their anime feel more unique and pleasant. Loved Kids on the Slope. Zankyou no Terror had a great concept, but most likely due to budget/time restrictions the character development was non-existent. Good thing Yuuri on Ice shows that they can actually deliver both animation and proper character development. And yes, I am not just fangirl squealing. |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Well I can create a wall of text but instead I say this. - Hit or miss story and characters - Very good production values. |
| They don't seem to have made anything I would consider watchable. |
 |
| They are good for the "tatatatatatatatatatatatata", but they really suck at yuri and CGI |
| Kids on the Slope and Zankyou no Terror excel in both Art and Animation and Kids on the Slope is one of the best Josei out there , haven't seen Rage of the Bahamut yet (PTW) and Ushio to Tora is just a big Meh . Though it seems to be a reliable animation studio from my point of view , I can't say anything cause I know nothing about the Industry . |
