This studio has good animation but terrible anime. Every anime I watched from this studio were 4/10 if im correct.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Have to really agree here. My top anime from PA Works is probably Nagi no Asu Kara, but even that is not something I'd say is really outstanding in terms of writing (animation is drop-dead gorgeous though unsurprisingly).

Where is Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara?

Yes, they're all important things as well... But the most important thing is responsibility for your own actions.

Angel beats is one of those really enjoyable animes with a good story and feels.
It's really good in my opinion

You yourself have rated Angel Beats a perfect 10. Hence I don't know why you are bothered about Irozuku Sekai no Ashita Kara

Definitely Another. Charlotte's ending was extremely rushed, and Kamisama ni Natta Hi is unfortunately following the same path as well.

P.A works animes are usually meh or trash, then there's Charlotte, the most polarizing show of this studio, which is also the best.

Angle beats is my favorite from PA works. It's a beautiful drama about human relationships. The music itself is a gem. Other than that I love Shirobako Hanasaku iroha Maqia.

I have not watched True Tears and Kamisama no Hatta ni, but Shirobako is clearly my favorite among the rest of options. Least favorite is Charlotte (by considerable margin than the rest).

They always have amazing animation but most of their stories are kinda weak.
I haven't watched Shirobako or Hansaku Iroha.I know I will love them.But from the works I've seen,I will pick Irodoku.

Angel Beats, hands down.



I love this show so much that I often listen to the opening, ending, and OST on repeat many times. I love this show so much that I went out of my way to buy some fairly old DVD set of the whole show and one of the OVA specials despite the fact that there was a possibility that it would return to Netflix—the show did eventually return to Netflix indeed, but I did not regret my purchase. I love this show so zetta much that I literally took a screenshot of a specific shot from one of the specific openings from the show and used the aesthetic of that shot for my current forum signature picture, despite my choice of replacing Otonashi and Yuri in the shot with different characters from an old game that I love as much (if not more) as the show.
I really, really love Angel Beats that much. Even if the show sadly got cut from a 2-cour runtime.

I would like to watch more from Studio P.A. Works though.
Charlotte was okay, and the currently airing The Day I Became A God had some funny jokes but steadily became more clichéd as it went along... but even so, I still would like to try more of their work. I've heard a ton of praise about Shirobako and how it gives some more insight of the anime industry; Nagi no Asukara, Sakura Quest, and Irozuku among some others look potentially enjoyable as well.

My favourite is Tari Tari. This anime is crazily underrated.

Then I also love Shirobako, Maquia, Iroduku and Nagi no Asukara.

I haven't watched a single bad anime from this studio yet.

Maquia by far, I still gotta watch Nagi no Asu Kara, people told me that its animation is incredible.

By the way, Jun Maeda is overrated.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Hanasaku Iroha, Shirobako and Angel Beats are my favorite shows from them.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

most of the anime that PA Works has made have good art quality.
especially background images and character designs, the original story is also interesting.
I think their best anime is "making anime" Shirobako.

Shirobako. Same director as Girls und Panzer, which should give a self-explanatory impression. The guy is a monster. Wish I could have gotten the chance to see the film before the year ended...

Somewhat surprised seeing Angel Beats topping the poll. Personally i think Shirobako is the best anime by P.A. Works.

But then again, Angel Beats is much more popular than Shirobako.
