My opinion of Deen is that they have potential, they give us a few surprises over the years with animation like Konosuba and such, they may rush the story when it comes to visual novels but it doesn't mean Deen can't bring out very good animation, A great example of this is the fate ubw movie, although the plot was a mess, the animation was a real spectacle to look at.

You know how someone suddenly says the studio is shit for making a shitty adaptation of something and then someone agrees with that person and then voila, it has already created a domino effect and everyone's jumping on the bandwagon saying Deen is shit when in reality, Deen isn't even a horrible studio as much as people like to believe. They have a lot of great shows in their catalog.

I feel like this meme was started by Fate fans for that horrible adaptation of the Fate and UBW route.

I don't think that studio that is responsible for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Konosuba, Ranma 1/2, Sakamoto Desu ga?, Fruits Basket can be considered bad.

As for studio deen, I have only watched the higurashi no naku koro ni series, which I found largely decent with some parts verging on good, but that's about it ,(other than having shouwa genroku and konosuba in ptw) and I can't really find any of their other shows that seems particularly interesting either.

I'll admit I haven't watched much of Studio Deens works. But they have my 2nd favorite anime of all time (Maison Ikkoku) and my 3rd favorite OVA of all time (Ruroni Kenshin Trust and Betrayal) under their belt. So even if I end up watching more of their works and it turns out I don't like them. Well I'll always have these 2 to fall back on.

I dont really have a problem with Studio Deen but looking at their stuff now I came up with a assumption

They arent the greatest at adapting stuff faithfully? I noticed this with Sankrea and Nurarihyon no Mago.

Also saw complaints of Higurashi, but majority liked it I think? idk if it was some random haters complaining. Umineko no Naku Koro ni gets 10x more hate, havent watched or read it yet so i cant form my own opinion on it. Also ''people die if they are kiilled''

I watched a lot of their stuff but havent read the source material so I can't really form a argument if they make good adaptions for visual novels or what not but I do like shows they have made.

Deen have done some amazing project and at the same time alot of shit.

I love alot of what they have done and don't know about taking people serious in this forum. Either they are trolling, don't know what they are talking about, playing around on a fake account, or haven't watched more then 10 shows.

Well that's the major part of this community.

I wouldn't say Deen is terrible studio.
However, when they make bad anime, it is really bad.
When they make good anime, it is really good.

In 2016, for example, they made two anime worthy of the title of AOTY.
However, incidents like new NNT and Umineko are not isolated.

For everyone out there who hates on Studio Deen, I just have to ask why? Why do you continue to perpetuate hatred for the one studio who adapts some of the most popular and talk-about anime of all time? Sure, the animation isn't perfect, but it's by no means bad.

Take a good minute to look at some of the animation projects that people are talking about today. Dragon Ball Super was a disaster. There is very little to appreciate about some of the earlier framework in the show's life, and while it did improve toward the end, it will always be remembered as one of the best follow-ups to the most popular shounen of all-time.

Studio Deen has much smoother and consistant animation quality, but there is a vast difference in style. The style of Deen's projects are all very similar to each other, but it manages to faithfully adapt the source content regardless of this.

All in all, no anime will ever be better than the manga in terms of artistic design. This is why shows like Madoka Magica and Neon Genesis Evangelion reign supreme when it comes to the quality of its animation. They were never adapting source content in these cases; the animation was the first thought.

So, that brings back the question: Is Studio Deen really that bad?
I don't think so, but I'm willing to listen to valid opinions of people who actually take the time to analyse their work rather than keep a circle of hatred going after 15 years of booing some of the most loved franchises to ever be animated.



Ufotable art visual KnY is much better than the manga counter-part in the art visuals, if we compare Kimetsu no Yaiba manga with Demon Slayer anime the manga quality turns to trash because Ufotable eclipsed the manga with that adaptation!

I don't know much about the other shows, but their adaptation of Junjou Romantica and Sekaichi Hatsukoi were really good and they followed the manga, but I guess that there are not many people who watch Shounen Ai. Konosuba was not that bad too.

I'll tell you what I watched (because I can't say about other animes, right?) But it's been a while, so... if I read the manga it is mentioned.

Vampire Knight (+Guilty): I don't think it was that different from the manga. I really liked it at the time.
Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X): Even the fillers were good. And there were so many of them. The Ova's animation felt weird after the original, but oh well. For the original material, I think it went along with it.
Fruits Basket: I loved it back at the day. I prefer the animation there rather than the new one, but maybe I just got used to it. The ending was annoying, though. I think they brought they story quite well except for this ending.
Hetalia: I was a bit confused with all history and characters, but it may be just me.
Junjou Romantica:: I don't know the plot of the manga, but the animation was fine, though funny enough, the main couple was less beautiful. Annoying characters can't be blamed for the anime.
07-Ghost: Can't think of anything special to say about this. It was a good anime.
Ranma 1/2: Always fun to watch, even so many years after. And no, not for the fanservice.
Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (1+2) The animation was fine, they didn't show much "juicy" stuff, which is a bonus for me (they did at the end of the day, but I think they didn't show the act itself... I may be wrong though).
Bakunatsu (Crisis): The second season felt a bit off, but oh well.

I'll stop here cause this list is starting to be long (I watched 34 of their stuff including sequels and stuff).

Apparently, it's the Studio that got from me the highest weighted score. So... you can guess. Are there bad anime there? Maybe, but I don't watch everything.

they have been handing this show for a whole season, it would be really unbelievable if they dropped it at this point especially after how many posts they have made about this show.

It is regular. It has some memorable titles, but without the ideal quality. They have a lot of garbage too. The first adaptation of fate was a litlte mediocre but enjoyable, it reinvindicated with the film (I scored it 10). They turn loghorizon in a boring show.

For animation: yes

The only thing they've done recently that's actually looks good the whole way through is Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju. Konosuba is pretty decently animated but it still had its duwang moments.

The only anime I've seen that are from them are Pumpkin Scissors, Shounen Onmyouji, and 07 Ghost.

I like Pumpkin Scissors, but I didn't like the ballroom arc as much. I liked what little bit of Shounen Onmyouji I have seen,

I've only seen one episode of 07 Ghost, and that was years ago, so I don't have an opinion on it.

Deen is the meme of animation studio in Japan.

Impossible deadlines while understaffed, pulling all-nighters the last 3 days just to get something out and pushing out whatever the final product is, regardless of quality.

I wouldn't say they are a bad studio per se, but they embody the bad culture that exists in this industry and it often shows in their animation work.

If you want proof open your favourite episode from your favourite Deen show right now, go through frame by frame and I promise you, you'll find frames that look like "This was obviously drawn in like 2 minutes by a sleep-deprived, malnourished, poor man" all over. (First and last episodes in seasons are usually, but not always, exempt to this rule)

Pretty sure they made at least the first season of Hell Girl and i loved that anime to bits. Except the last season which was a farce and whoever thought a 6 episode run of drab episodes plus 6 episodes of already aired shit in one season should be sent to hell themselves.

I like Hetalia tho and apparently they made the first season or so of that as well.

But from what everyones told me the new season of 7 deadly sins was shit. Like utter shit which made me not watch it just yet bc fuck me I cant take another bad season of an anime I love. Cough onepunchman cough

So yeah in my humble opinion I think theyre a mixed bag overall.

The only reason anyone thinks DEEN is bad is because mid 00s VNfags liked to complain about how bad their adaptations of Fate/Stay Night and Umineko supposedly were, even though that's what got most of them into VNs and the adaptation quality wasn't that far below average anyway. It's a stale meme that no one should take seriously

My only complaint about Deen is their animation mistakes...but they happen so quickly that you won't even notice the first time.

Sankarea's adaptation was a visual masterpiece though. Shame they didn't finish the story...but I can't praise Deen enough for that project.
