Its simply facts. The shows A-1 Pictures have put out the past few years are better than anyone not named KyoAni. They also dont borderline kill their workers like MAPPA

The Yami Shibai guys are the future of animation and if you disagree you need to have your eyes. Framerates that reach bellow 1 fps are the name of the game.

the fact that people just forget they used to make 10+ anime a year and most of them doesn't look like shit

Even fucking Eromanga-sensei undoubtedly looked really good

right, how could we forget how all the shows rated in the top 100 by a million people are wrong, and its not that. you are wrong


wrong or whatever, those shows you listed are bad, people who love them watched 3 anime in their lives before watching those, like if you rated 86 above 5 you clearly never watched mecha anime.

As a wise man once told me:

''fuck everyone who thinks sword art online is bad you're just an elitist fuck who like to hate on every anime they watched and trigger a very angelic person like me. you just don't get the full meaning of the show and you only like to hate on people because you're a bad guy and needs to go to hell. the show is so good that i call this anime the cowboy bebop of anime another masterpiece of the same liking but sword art online is better. why the fuck you hate it so much even though it's a masterpiece of a show ??. maybe because you don't get the full meaning and the show and the amount of detail each character is given just look at kirito is so op that every wants to be like him well who would be?. who would become a badass guy defeating all the boses easily and live in a fantasy world full of swords, magic, and everything fantasy related things, and have a harem that want to have sex with you all day all night. so if you don't. then you just don't wanna live portray yourself to kirito and have a perfect fucking life. and another character is asuna. asuna is so bangable that you wish you want to be like your girlfriend she is so kind lovely sweet and will always be with you no matter what. so why do you guys hate it so much 😭😭😭😭😭 you guys are mean and only people with low iq don't get the show and people with high iq thinks this anime is a masterpiece, so fuck you people who hate the show.''

A-1 Pictures has a lot of highly rated anime thanks to their good animation, the problem is the abysmal writing of almost everything they touch. I'm not going to say that animation doesn't matter and that plot+characters are everything, but there's a limit to how bad the writing can be.

P.S. My top 3 studio is Madhouse, KyoAni and Trigger, so I'm not a blind hater of everything popular

A 1 pictures is one of the best studios I agree with you, everything they make is good and when they announce a new show I'm always excited for it πŸ’• Some people on this site are so toxic and no matter what you say will disagree with you unless you say some unpopular trash that's on their favorites is the best anime. People will hate on anything just cause it's popular. BLACK BUTLER πŸ€€πŸ’•

according to animeplus they're currently they're ranked #102 on my list of favorite studios, with a mean score of 5.89. But those stats don't really mean much, I've only seen a total of 20 A-1 studios titles. The highest rating I gave was a 7. There's a handful of stuff by them on my PTW and none of them looks all that special. Like most anime studios, they don't really have a particular style so I feel no attachment to them as an entity.

Yes it's one of the best studio out there if we include Cloverworks as well.

Yes I said Cloverworks. WEP was great no matter how I look at it.

i dont really see more than 3 entries by trigger that qualify as memorable. they are too niche to be top 3 tbh

Cloverworks doesn't have a ton of shows compared to A-1, but they've been doing great recently (Spy x Family, My Dress-Up Darling, Horimiya). I don't think Cloverworks should bring up too much shame - outside of Promised Neverland S2. I don't read manga, but wow, people did not like S2.

I am afraid to say something negative, because you will start attacking my profile again, as you do to anyone who disagrees with you lol.
Anyway, in my view, all the titles you named are bad. And, as you see, I am not the only one to think so. Thus, your "fact" is wrong.
You see, a random unexplained statement means nothing to others. You should elaborate what you say. Otherwise you will just get spat on.
P.S. Damn, I was pretty sure you were already banned for how many users you personally attacked.

Yeah, no. When A-1 Pictures manages to make a show that's good or, at the very least, doesn't look like dogshit, it's a fluke, not the norm.

A-1 Pictures is the M. Night Shyamalan of anime studios. Sometimes he makes a good movie. Sometimes he has good cinematography. Sometimes he has something interesting to say. Most of the time, however, he's just shit.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.

I liked 3 or 4 adaptations of theirs and even then they weren't action focused. But there's just too many adaptations I didn't like or care about. Their biggest offender was Gate. That cgi dragon and the fight looked like something out of a comedy. Not to mention the horrible artstyle choice/censorship in general. I'm enjoying LyRe so far outside the shit writing but yeah wouldn't call them the best.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.

A-1 is just good at adapting source material. Your Lie in April is very accurate with the manga, but the anime has music and voice acting that fits the atmosphere.

The first season specially the first arc of SAO is good, but the rest (including that new alicization or however it's spelled_ are boring. I don't know about 86 but people praise it. Lycoris Recoil is good, but the show is carried by the 2 girls so hard and also its animation.

So no. A-1 is not the future of animation.

I agree A-1 has some amazing action sequences and an overall great animation style quality but idk about the adaptation part. Many people who have read the manga for those shows have said that a lot of things have been glossed over in the adaptation. But from an animation stand point, it is really good

I love how A-1 was one of the most-hated studio only a couple of years ago but now it's considered one of the most beloved studios (at least by the "newer" audience), they fixed their reputation with pretty much everything, their rep on manga adaptation with Kaguya, light novel adaptation with 86, and anime originals with the currently airing Lycoris Recoil

an anime's quality is not based on how well it follows a manga. an anime is its own thing, it has no rule that it has to be a 1:1 adaptation.

manga fans will never admit it, but some times studios actually change things for the better.

> i havent seen most of what a-1 has done, but im still going to make an ignorant claim!!!

you btw
How do you reach that conclusion? I watched their previous works and while some excel in the animation aspect, the adaptation they pick bores me. Kaguya-sama is no different. It started strong but season 3 has been a let down for me, so much so I haven't finished it until now.

This.

I always approach anything by A-1 with a certain amount of skepticism. It's not that they're a bad studio (there are certainly worse out there), but I've not been too impressed by any of their output so far.

Once I was listening to a podcast about 86 and the host said something that I completely agree with, he said that A-1 Picture reached an above-average quality standard.

A-1's anime might lack writing quality as some people pointed out here, which I think might be a source problem cause they did an excellent job with Shigatsu and Kaguya-Sama, but in terms of animation, soundtrack and directing they are always above average.
I don't consider it to be in the top 3 though.

I don't think so. They have well directed works like Space Brothers (which is now my favorite), Demi-chan, IdolMaster and Erased.
Animation tho, not really. For me their best looking shows are Grimgar & YLiA. I liked Grimgar but didn't liked YLiA.

They make good looking Anime but not really the best in that. If we're only talking about Animation;
ufotable, Kyoni, Madhouse & bones are much better than A1.

I don't know about that since i haven't watched any of their more recent anime, out of those you named, i only have a slight interest in 86.

They usually don't make the type of anime i'm interested in watching, but from their new(er) anime i'm planning on watching these (other than the aforementioned 86): Kagami no Kojou (Movie), Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare (Movie), Grancrest Senki, The iDOLM@STER SideM (Mostly only because of Enoki Junya lol) and Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen.
