They are one of my favorite studios.

They produce a lot of good shows.

Especially some great underrated ones.

The master of CGDCT too. (thanks to the guy 👇 )

But it's so good, I've never known anybody like you
But it's so good, I've never dreamed of nobody like you
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine

I have no strong opinion on Doga Kobo. Their earlier stuffs were decent.

Pretty consistent studio overall with their slice of life and CGDCT projects, one of my favorite studios.

Well, they made Love Lab which in my opinion is a masterpiece. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is because it ends at only 13 episodes when it has potential to rival K-On for the best cute girls anime. The lively animation, the comedic timing and the characterization is second to none. It's a shame that the show basically went completely under the radar.

But yeah Doga Kobo makes some pretty good stuff. Unlike most anime studios they have an unmistakable signature style to their shows, at least until Oshi no Ko came along and threw a monkey wrench into the works.

I am still waiting for a good anime produced by Doga Kobo.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Some good anime and some insta-dropped ones. Oshi no Ko could have pushed this studio towards the top, but sadly it stopped being good after the first episode (not Doga Kobo's fault, though).

I liked Majestic Prince, which was done by Doga Kobo. Other than that CGDCT isn't my thing so can't really judge.

The greatest anime they ever made was Shikimori-san.

I didn't think much of them until "Oshi no Ko" tbh.

Anime I watched

- Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
- "Oshi no Ko"
- Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san
- New Game! (Dropped after 2 episodes)
- Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?
- Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi
- Yesterday wo Utatte (I really didn't like this show lmaooooo)

Apart from New Game!, which is one of my favorites, everything else I've seen from them has been very average.

Great studio. I love their CGDCT and romcoms. They make some of the cutest anime out there so naturally they're one of my favourite studios.

wow I mean I only watched plastic memories and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, both of which were very nice. Seems like a nice studio

I only watched Kawaii dake ja Nai, Shikimori-san, but I loved the artstyle, especially the shining eyes.

Unfortunately no other title of the studio caught my interest so far.

They're decent. Good with pure comedy SoL but I'm not very sure for anything else, even Oshi no Ko I have my complains about.

@MadanielFL I just don't think the atmosphere fully fits, to me it's missing the suspense feel.

From them I like only - Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Maoujou de Oyasumi, Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince and Yuru Yuri.
Their projects have good technical aspects, but usually aren't my cup of tea.

There are better when they work on a non-CGDCT anime like Oshi no ko, Plastic Memories, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun and Sing Yesterday for me.

CGDCT farm. Other than Maoujou de Oyasumi none of their anime are memorable imo. Rewatched Plastic Memories and the only thing it had going for it was nostalgia value, very bland experience. Haven't seen Oshi no Ko though.

CGDT giant. From the show that I have watched, I don't like their characterization of the characters that much. They looks cute but not really appealing for me.

Oshi no Ko was fire, the rest — meh (for me personally). Also, they’re adapting that show about the international exchange student from russia, so screw them (yeah, that’s a prejudice).

I have watched only three shows produced by Doga Kobo so far: My Senpai is Annoying, Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie & Oshi no Ko.

I ain't a big fan of CGDCT works but I gotta appreciate their high level of dedication to Oshi no Ko - which I like the best.

I only saw one work of theirs, Sing Yesterday For Me, but it had truly beautiful artwork.

I also heard they had some studio trouble that caused delays in their animes though. So I hope they're back in trade.
