I haven't watched much from them but the ones I did watched, 3-gatsu and Madoka, both looked very aesthetically pleasing and engaging. 3-gatsu in particular benefitted a lot by it in a visual storytelling perspective. The visual effects along with the superb directing amplified the poignance of already incredibly well thought-out scenes from the original material and made it my favorite anime of all time. So yeah I really like Shaft, I'm hopeful that they won't let me down with their other more popular title Monogatari series.

They do good stuff, not one of my favourite studios, but one I respect.

Hate it the focus on too much unnecessary things the head til/shots looks retarded their background needs improvement and background people is non existent.

I haven't seen every title made by them, but, IMO, they create eye candy garbage.

That't the only way I can describe them.

I haven't watched anything made by Shaft, as most of their works don't look interesting to me.

"Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger" is the only Shaft work that I would like to watch.


Series is worth watching, but Shaft staff of the 90s were far more traditional and had they used that style today, no one would talk about them

It's great the style of art, I think some people are put off by it at first and aren't willing to give it a chance.

Definitely one of my favorite studios. Monogatari is very good and 3-gatsu is a god damn masterpiece.

Richard Roundtree is a legend. And Isaac Hayes' theme music is superb.








And regarding the studio, they have some pretty cool animation techniques.

Most of their work is badーrarely are they able to produce something passable or good. I grew up with watching Akiyuki Shinbo’s directorial work & really enjoyed Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna when I was a kid, but started to become disenchanted when Moonphase & Cossette no Shouzou were released in the mid-2000s. I like Hidamari Sketchーas well as Bakemonogatari & a couple of its continuationsーbut, for the most part, I consider them a hack company the relies on the same gimmicks re-packaged pretentiously to appease the masses; making boat-loads of cash off of psuedo-intellectually masked ass shots of little girls, monologues, & pretty colors.

In general, I usually rate their series no higher than a 3 (very bad)ーmost of the time.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who dislikes 3-Gatsu.

They're pretty unique, didn't like them at first but after watching the Monogatari series I came to like their work.

My view on Shaft is that it belongs in the trash can. At least their art is good. However everything else about this studio is dogshit.

I don’t hate them but I’m not a huge fan. They have a lot of 3D mixing with 2D that I don’t like much. Plenty of studios do a worse job at it to the point where it detracts from the anime. With shaft it’s more of a minor annoyance

I don't have any problem with Shaft, it just so happens that the few anime I watched from them kinda suck. Although, for most of it, I blame the source material

Amazing studio. I enjoyed SZS, Monogatari (#1 favourite), 3-gatsu, and Madoka. But not as much as Zaregoto and Arakawa Under the Bridge.
