| For me, first and foremost the one which immediately jumps to mind is CloverWorks. Feeling this overwhelming, insatiable urge and what was like a nagging voice in my head beckoning me, imploring me even, to drop Wonder Egg Priority and Yakusoku no Neverland season 2 after four whole episodes, and then actually following through and dropping two series by the same studio in such close proximity this year has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Then when the taste was bad enough it's like they cut thin slivers of my tongue up with a small grating tool and rubbed salt in the wounds with the rushed and botched ending given to Shadows House dictated by poor, shortsighted decisionmaking. If CloverWorks ruins season 2 of Shadows House like they've ruined these other examples, I don't even want to see or hear their name again. Passione studio is another one, but whereas CloverWorks' track record is increasingly headed for the gutter, the situation with Passione seems more mixed to me. I don't think I'll ever not hold anyone associated with that studio in the lowest lows of esteem for what became of Higurashi Gou and Sotsu and the deceitful marketing strategy centered around cloaking a sequel in the guise of a reboot or remake, but on the other hand, I can't place all the blame on them alone for that when the original author and creator, Ryukishi (the one ultimately behind all Higurashi works and the shared When They Cry franchise it belongs to) signed off on it while apparently not giving enough of a damn beyond advertising. It's moreso a shared responsibility. Plus, I have enjoyed series released by them in the past, such as Rokka no Yuusha and Ishuzoku Reviewers, and am currently reasonably happy with the now airing Mieruko-chan. So to open the floor to the MAL userbase, what are some of your folks'? Perhaps a series seemed so egregiously poorly handled that it caused you to bother looking up the responsible studio if you hadn't previously or never had a habit of doing such and then found this studio name coming up several times in a row with a lot of flops? Or is there a broader and deeper reason? I know there is a general and widespread, unspoken tendency among some to want to shift the blame away from individual studios and studio executive leadership heads and tie it to some faceless entity. Which studios have you given the mental "final notice", "last warning", or "yellow slip" to? |

| Trigger tried too hard making next TTGLs with each of them having Kamina's clones. In fact, their best work imo is probably LWA. I really hope they move on from TTGL and try something fresher like LWA. |

| I dont understand the hate Cloverworks get... They have great production value compared to most studios. Studios rarely ever have anything to do with the story being shite, and they are not the ones who decide what should get adapted and what shouldn't (at least that wasn't the case with TPN). The studio that I'm always wary of is Studio Pierrot. These clowns just pick up any popular manga and adapt it just for the sake of adapting it, they don't care about quality at all. That's why Kingdom Season 1 ended up looking like a PS2 game instead of a proper anime |
 |
| Promare destroyed my hopes in Trigger, they're one anime away to be fully ignored and I wanna choose it wisely, I didn't watch the furry anime and the robot one because of this. Kyoani, it just bores me to death, suzumiya haruhi is better than all of their original stuff combined |
    |
| Nah Passione is one of my favs now, I'm having too much fun with Ishuzoku Reviewers and Mieruko-chan. It feels like they have genuine passion :) for fanservice Anyway, I'm not a Sith so I don't deal with absolutes, but Cloverworks, A1, Pierrot, Deen kinda lower my expectations. But every single studio made something I love, so it doesnt matter much. I gues a no name studio living by trash harem shows would be a a red flag but whatever |

Vexem said: Bruh, It ain't the studios fault you didn't like the story or whatever of the anime. I hated Gintama a lot and then I saw that it was the same studio responsible for disasters like Cowboy Bebop, planetes and code geass |
| WIT Studio. I was already noticing that all their anime were more boring than the average, but Attack on Titan was the nail on the coffin. After getting bored throughout the rewatch of the first 3 seasons and asking myself why I was keeping on watching, the 4th one made by MAPPA seemed a completely different anime (and much better). I'm still not sure it's entirely WIT's fault, but for the moment I can say that I didn't expect to enjoy AoT again at all. P.S. I agree about Cloverworks |
| LIDENFILMS is the only studio I will actively avoid thanks to their mobile jrpg anime adaptations. Other than that I care more about staffs than studios. |
| Madhouse, Madhouse is one of the terrible studio ever founded, responsible for plenty of overrated shits like Hentai x Hentai, Trash Note, One Garbage Man, Hajime no Fuck, The tatami Garbage and many more. No matter how people care about them. But I would say other studios like Wit, Ufotable, A-1 and Kyo Ani easily beats their all over shits Also Bones is another one tho... |

| Hmmm |
| Every single one that ain't KyoAni. At least with KyoAni, I don't have to suddenly wake up and see "Allegations of toxic work environment levied on x animation studio by former employee" as a headline on my Twitter in regards to Kyoto Animation. If we're ignoring the whole work environment shit and we're talking about pure anime quality, I actually don't have any. I've never cared for branding, I've hated most anime J.C. Staff comes out with after like 2015, but if a great anime from them came out that I thought I'd like, I'd watch it, regardless of how many stinkers they've made. Shit changes, studios change staff and hire freelancers all the time, so the studio I hated back then might be completely different from the studio it will be in the future. It's honestly more of a pain in the ass cutting out an entire studio from your periphery. |

| Kyoani. After Lucky Star they became a factory for production line moe romcom with beautiful animation and music, and it is all boring and samey. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
mazuchi said: I'm pretty sure I'll never like a Trigger anime, but still got a tiny bit of hope for Gainax. I didn't enjoy TTGL, PSG and FLCL, but I did like NGE when I watched it (need to rewatch). I think they also made some more down-to-earth stuff, I should probably try that. And completely agreed with CloverWorks. I neglected to mention Gainax. I've never been a fan of their "Gainax style" injected into anything. Neon Genesis Evangelion is easily the most well-known and well-regarded anime series I personally disliked the most (I rate it a 6 in deference to some of its accomplishments, but my own personal enjoyment was probably around a 3 or 4 for the sake of fidelity/full disclosure) and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou are both part of the small list of a handful of series I've dropped after only one episode. |

| I guess I should be wary of Millepensee after what they did to Guts and Kumoko, but is not like they produce much anime anyway. |
 |
| i've never viewed anime studios as any less than indifferent corporate blocks, they'll probably be fine without my 'patronage' and i'm not under any impression that they care for my regards If i'll like a product then i'll like it. honestly the notion that i would deliberately not watch an anime solely because of its studio of origin...is a little conceited |

I doubt any of the studios in a general sense care for anyone or anything outside of native Japanese consumers who regularly spend a lot of money on DVD/Blu-Ray discs and the massive industry of series-related collectibles and general merchandise. As a foreigner who isn't spending much money, it's not really relevant. It's more for the purpose of protecting and insulating myself from predictably bad products which just turn something which should be enjoyable and pleasurable into an infuriating or mind-numbingly disappointing experience. When the predictability of a studio's low quality output is noticed and established, a pattern can be observed to know what not to waste time/energy/sanity on. |
| CloverWorks is only the studio that I've yet to like anything from them, as far as I know of course. It's more about the staff...but I can't lie and say that I don't lose interest whenever I see anime that's made by Cloverworks. |
 |
| Mh, let's see, I think I can name a few of them : - obvious answer : Cloverworks Back in 2019, I liked them because they made Bunny Girl Senpai and Promised Neverland But then 2021 happened. Promised Neverland S2 was a mess, Horimiya was rushed, Wonder Egg Priority's production was pure chaos and ended up with a terrible special and the nail on the coffin was the original storyline direction in Shadows House. So yeah, now I don't trust them that much. - another obvious answer : Studio Deen Okay, they made Rakugo, Konosuba and Higurashi that were pretty good. But lately they've been really bad, I think everybody knows about Nanatsu no Taizai already. I can also add the latest season of Log Horizon that was boring as hell - (another) obvious answer : Millepensee Because Berserk and the Spider isekai - Seven Arcs because their anime adaptations are average and often of poor quality - ENGI, same as Seven Arcs but worse - I'm sorry to write that name here but Bones when it comes to My Hero Academia - LIDENFILMS, they didn't make any great anime so far and I've already watched a few of them I'm also prudent when I hear about J.C. Staff and Studio Pierrot |
| Oh, and I also forgot to mention above so I'll add it here: Has anyone heard of Children's Playground Entertainment? I'm very underwhelmed/unimpressed by how one of their series, Saihate no Paladin, is turning out this season. |
| I don’t really have any studio like that |

| trigger. inferno cop: amazing nonsense comedy the way I like it. LWA ova: the most refreshing and charming work I've seen in ages. full of hope for the studio. kill la kill: pointless battle of the week for half of the show with cliffhangers that never add to the plot, annoying comic relief character, cheap animation, plotpoints forgotten. 2nd half of the show is extremely rushed, the big bad was brainwashed, lol it was aliens. I hate every second I wasted on this. I swore I'm not watching more by the studio. ninja slayer: inferno cop rehash, dropped. LWA movie: it was dull, plain and simple. I was hype but it was missing the charm. luluco: pointless first half, cool 2nd half. references out of the ass, not bad but not good. waste of time, someone made me watch it. btw it was aliens. LWA TV show: endless sol where the comic relief is the main character, except now she's annoying, gone is the gorgeous animation, mc almost ends the world every week but gets away with a slap on her hands, the plot doesn't move until very late, big bad was brainwashed. it was awful, it held none of the good points of the original. I'm truly done with trigger now there's nothing they can do to bring me back. enter darling: oh boy feminine mecha and oni girl, this will b gud! it was for 1 ep. then for half of the show it was pointless running in circles. don't ride the oni! she's not evil! don't ride the oni! she's not evil! then the rest was extremely rushed, the plot was a trainwreck, they ripped off gendo's backstory 1:1, btw aliens. the last arc was super bad. animation mostly sucked. I'm done. forever. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Doga Kobo : CGDCT factory 🏭 I don't like there shows at all. Silver Link : Trashy Isekai factory 🏭 Hate this studio the most. |
| Project No. 9 - I feel that their main problem is their choice of source material in the first place. They have several shows already, but I've never been interested in any if the premises. When I actually decided to watch their show, it was one of the worst show I've watched in a while (Higehiro), yet it's also the highest rated one from that studio. Not only the story went really bad, the presentation doesn't help either, especially with the animation being so poor. However, their upcoming project (Love After World Domination) actually sounds interesting to me, so I want to check it out. When I learned that they will be adaptad by Project No. 9, I had a thought that if I ended up disliking that new show, I may not want to watch this studio's anime anymore. Though I don't think that will actually happen, and I'll still give another chance if they somehow release something with a story that fits my preferences, even if I don't have much faith with the animation quality. |
