They made quality projects in various genre.

Kaguya sama, SAO and many more.

I'm a big fan of their romcoms.

They are currently making a most hyped solo leveling project.

But their quality is sometimes disappointing according to many.

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

Good studio. Favourites are Shinsekai Yori, 86 and Sound of Sky.

Not an A-1 fan but there were some moments in 86 and Nier;Automata that I like quite a lot.

Their stuff is usually of respectable quality. Even SAO which gets shat upon from everywhere is still at least nice to look at.

@Theo1899 Exactly, I too don't know why they get so much hate over quality.

Their catalog is a mixed bag, which is understandable for such a big and prolific studio.
Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai proves that they can make good stuff when they want.

Not a fan. Their works i've seen all look pretty much the same. And i just noticed that i've rated all of them only 5-7/10. No more, no less.

Haven't seen Love is War tho. Is it that good? I saw one of the clips and the mc's voice turned me off bad.

Makes a lot of titles, cheap or mostly low quality or simply bad series that get adapted from their end. Not a fan.

They nowadays just makes some of the most boring crap ever. Their last good anime was Shinsekai yori.

Nice studio. I like many of their works, even the ones that tend to get quite a lot of hate.

I really don't know how I feel about A1. On one side I really like many of their shows and on the other side I kinda also find many of their other shows very average, stale, and uninspired. But they almost never miss on animation part, that's for sure.

Will forever thank them and the staff involved for a stellar adaptation of 86. Also they don’t miss on animation and art.

Overrated studio. They dole out mostly meme titles (except for maybe SAO) that become popular one night and are gone the next. Like 86 isn't even that good of a show, thought it was overrated as hell.

Dreadful. SAO, Fairy Tail, started SDS, basically any popular anime they've made I've found disappointing. Other than Uchuu Kyoudai and Gin no Saji wasn't too bad either. Solo Leveling shouldn't be too bad but I'd still rather read the manwha for the superior art.

They have made some horrible adaptations of the Persona games and Ace Attorney, so I am always very skeptical of any show they do just because of those 2 being some of my favorite games being butchered so horribly with garbage animation quality and rushed scripts

The studio like making ecchi scene whenever they want, like wiseman once say "A-1 Pictures do what A-1 Pictures does"

I like them a lot, there are just certain shows , specially Kaguya where it feels only they can pull it off.

The best of the best. For me A1 > any other studio and it's not even close.

Probably one of the best studios when it comes to LN adaptations, just look at 86 Eighty-Six and COTE.

CloverWorks are better than them, that's all I know.

And Kaguya-sama is a highly overrated anime.

I remember watching anime YouTubers in 2016, complaining that A-1 pictures was a Mcdonald's-like studio, only capable of making junk food anime. They did make SAO, which I've never seen but is apparently mediocre.

Here's some anime I've seen
- Kaguya-sama
- Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii (dropped after 4 episodes)
- Blend S
- Working!!
- Mashle
- Doukyuusei (Movie)
- Saintโ˜†Oniisan (Movie)
- Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen

With Fairy Tail and Lycoris Recoil, they are behind my Top 2, so if someone asks me about my favorite studio, A-1 always comes to mind first.

Atarashii Joushi is another entry in my Top 10! They did very well with the last episodes, writing them just off of the original creator's notes.

Besides that, there's Kaguya-sama, which can be cringe at times but is hillarious for the most part. And Engage Kiss, which is on-Hold at 4 episodes because it didn't capture my interest and I had to many shows that season (and every season after, which is why it's still On-Hold ^^)

And then there's Mashle. We don't talk about Mashle. Nobody's perfect after all!

Needless to say, SAO is their magnum opus.

If Production IG was my favorite studio, A-1 Pictures is the one company that I have a soft spot for. They've made a lot of shows I would personally consider as "guilty pleasures."

I would say they are the anime equivalent of The Cannon Group, Inc... except what if Cannon survived long enough to make well received titles such as (but not limited to):

  • Kaguya-sama
  • Eighty-Six
  • Your Lie in April
  • Erased
  • Anohana
  • Space Brothers
  • Lycoris Recoil
