My favorite is still MADHOUSE but Bones is also good. Kyoani is good too. Gainax is legendary.

Madhouse is dead now, maybe five years ago this would have worked.

Bones are definitely my favorite because they put out shows that I like and they do a damn good job at them.

KyoAni and Madhouse are better than Bones. If you like shounen then I can see why you would say that.

Don't know yet if they are the greatest but Bones is certainly in my top 3 favorite studios after Bungou Stray Dogs and let's not forget Fullmetal Alchemist, Noragami and Zetsuen no Tempest! They seem to consistently produce good anime with great animation, plot and characters! ^-^

I don't see many current anime, I don't follow seasonals, so I can't tell, but after watching shows like MHA and Mob I guess it's safe to say that yeah, they are quite competent to be considered currently one of the best.

Hard no! I would argue that they are the dead WORST in anime studios. Most of the most visually grotesque anime I have seen with some of the worst and most off-putting character designs came from anime made by, you guessed it, Studio Bones.

For me, either Ufotable or GoHands is the best.

They're no better or worse than most other studios.

According to my stats, I have seen 8 anime franchises from Bones and it is considered my favorite studio. In fact, yes, Bones is my favorite studio.

One thing I love about Bones is that they can adapt a variety of different shows. I know many of them are incomplete adaptations, but still, I love them anyways.

Although, I wouldn't consider it as the best studio in general. I think Madhouse is better in terms of quality from what I've heard (only seen 3 of their shows though). And it may not be in the levels of Ghibli as well.
Animation-wise, they can be good, but I felt shows like A1 Pictures, KyoAni or Shaft does better.

When is comes to animation quality, Kyoto Animation is the top. Look at Hyouka for example. The anime came out 7 years ago but its animation quality is still a lot better than most newer anime coming out today.

Currently? Definitely. I used to prefer Madhouse, but the quality seems to drop lately.

My soft spot will always be Kyoto Animation, or at least until some other studio proves me wrong. Bones is #6 according to my malgraph though with the nuance of only having seen three shows from them.

Maybe if their character designers didn't suck that much I'd appreciate the look of these characters.

Bones is a very top tier studio. I wouldn't say they are the greatest but they are pretty up there nonetheless.

Bones is an amazing studio, not sure if they are my favorite but with Madhouse having issues perhaps. In terms of shows I like to watch Bones consistently delivers

In term of purely action oriented animes yeah they definitely hold the crown right now but overall I'd put kyoani and shaft over them

Most and ugliest aren't used in the same sentence in that way, the characters were perfectly fine eventhough you found them ugly but animation is bigger than the characters design and those two examples (Sorayori, Death parade) are very good in terms of animation. Madhouse isn't the best or more consistent right now but they still do a respectable job with their licensed series.

Nope. Maybe if you are obsessed with shounen you might think so.

Madhouse has been and always will be the top dog. Once you adapt something as great as Hunter X Hunter and Tatami Galaxy your place is forever cemented.

I think Bones is the best in terms of animation, but my favorite studio is Madhouse even though now this studio is not as good as it was in the past.

BONES studio is like one of the biggest anime studios out there consisting of 5 studios (studio A, B, C, D, E)

and there was a running joke that One Punch Man season 1 anime was an actual BONES studio work since a lot of the talented animators for One Punch Man are in-house animators of BONES studio like Yutaka Nakamura https://myanimelist.net/people/6801/Yutaka_Nakamura

I still haven't seen anime from Bones that I would consider as one of my personal favorites, but they do make really great anime with great stories and I do have to say that many of the most impressive action animation that I've seen comes from them. They consistently deliver, they deserve the praise.

My personal favorite studios would be Production I.G and Sunrise.

I like them, but they're not my number 1 favorite. They'd be the #5 slot behind Madhouse, Sunrise, Production IG, and Kyoto Animation in terms of volume of good shows I've seen from them.

I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
