- Entries include; TV, OVA, Movie, Special, ONA and Music that have aired or are airing

Im mostly impressed by the good scores of A-1 Pictures, Madhouse, Production I.G. and J.C. STAFF since they are actually in the 100s in terms of entries which over shadows their perceived quality over the rest of the studios way bellow their number count regardless of if score is higher or not as far as Im concerned

What is that which is given in the bracket.
Eg - ghibli (20)
At first I thought it was no of works. But ghibli has 52 anime. Is it because of 50,000 members?
Edit - ok, I counted it is because of that.
Poor TMS only 59 titles made a cut out of 345 anime. Same for sunrise and toei

Based on ur stats, jc staff is very populer....surprising

Thank you very much for your work to create this interesting posting!

I'm missing a few favorites, mainly older art-house oriented studios like Mush Productions, HAL Film Maker and Artland. Are they missing because they didn't perform well or because they were not checked?

Yes they are indeed missing, because unfortunately they have less than 20 titles with 50k+ members (I’ve checked everything)

Without the constraint on the number of entries, I guess Studio Bind (Mushoku Tensei) and Orange (8.13 mean score from Houseki no Kuni, Beastars and Beastars s2, if we only consider the stuff they made as main contractor) would be the highest rated studios.

What's little surprising is the fact that no studio have a score above 8. Even Ghibli barely made that score.
MadHouse and Bones not in top 5 is kinda surprising. But glad Kyoni made it in top 5.
And as someone above said, it's really impressing for Production I.G., MadHouse and J.C.Staff to be so high even with hundreds of shows they have.

#3 and #19 are the best studios for me because I love their animes mostly also they are highest avg ranked in my anime list (about 8.7 avg score).
#4 has one of the best art/animation quality (if not the best overall) but they are choosing terrible original sources to adapt so my avg score in their studio is pretty low.
#17 is the only studio that tries to make animes with more than 12 episodes so I like them for it.
#8, #10, #14, #18 are my least favourite studios (in my ranking from anime.plus they are ranked 120+ with avg score 5.55 and less).

I feel like this ranking is pretty fair. A-1 Pictures deserves to be higher, and I'm surprised MAPPA isn't in the top 10. Someone swap MAPPA and TMS, thank you.

I'm happy to see that IG and Wit are up there though.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

I think it's also a matter of how many anime they've created by one studio. I'm more of respecting Madhouse and I.G. thanks to that amount of anime, and still made it in top 10. They do be producing banger most of the time eh

Yeah right, ufotable also(haven't seen fate but from few scenes on youtube and ig i think the animation is god tier) and personal opinion I find ghibli movies quite boring

This list mostly makes sense especially for the top ones since usually I and most people will probably think to themselves that anything made my Studio Ghibli is usually really good and ufotable has good quality art and animation too.

But that's a lot of work doing this. I guess you really were intrigued to know the studios rankings. Good job on compiling this.

Thanks once more for the extra mile. I think a lot of medium sized studios with few but fine productions would pop up if you lowered the thresholds. But it's complicated, I can see that. Then there is mergers and acquisitions. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Film_Maker had three names during it's existence: 1993-2009 they were called Hal, 2009-2017 TYO Animations, and 2017 to today Yumeta Company. But there's ownership, management and staff continuity. The anime industry is mercurial :)
