Why do people hate on A-1 Pictures yet they praise Madhouse when it has similar problems?

I mean both A-1 Pictures and Madhouse have produced good and bad anime, yet only A-1 Pictures gets shitted on (by Digibro's fans mostly) while Madhouse gets a pass even though they also made anime worse than SAO and Asterisk Wars. They act like the entire studio is bad even though they aren't much worse than the average studio.

Kinda agree.

Overlord is mediocre in every aspect from production value to animation to plot yet people hype it to death for whatever reason. (Well, don't lecture me how wrong I were, I bindged it a few months ago in one go so my memory is still fresh)

It's like people shitting on SAO alot yet it's still one of the best selling franchises.

Guess people do like shit but popular things despite their opinion shows otherwise.
Everyone is a tsundere or what?

I don't watch Digibro. Like OP said both studios have produced good shows and bad

Madhouse made one punch man, monster, death note, NGNL, etc.

A1 made Magi, 7 Deadly Sins, Your Lie in April, Erased, Anohana, and Shinsekai Yori, etc

Because Madhouse has created so many masterpieces that completely out weigh any garbage they may have produced.

Meanwhile A-1 Pictures over here with SAO and Eromanga sensei on their record while not really having any notable anime that people care about.

I absolutely hate Overlord, it is utter trash. But again, it means absolutely nothing because of the amount of masterpieces they have created.

I completely agree. Madhouse has their fair-share of trash. Probably way more than A-1 since they've been around for so much longer. They are also made mostly of freelancers, and produces as much amazing stuff as they do utter trash, and have a similar philosophy of producing tons of anime and hoping the succeed.

Meanwhile it's like people forget that A-1's library consists of way, way, way more than just SAO and Asswar. I don't like everything they do (didn't like Erased and Gate's first episode was atrocious), but they have so many works from so many directors and genres and styles that I find it hard to believe that one could hate practically everything they produce.

Well, Madhouse has much more of a legacy behind it.

They’re out of their prime, but were known as the King of Anime Studios for a reason, in their lineup they’ve got cool action dramas like Trigun and Gungrave, auteur experiments like Kaiba and Tatami Galaxy, intense psychological thrillers like Paranoia Agent, Death Note and Monster and even softer stuff like Cardcaptor Sakura. That, and despite the awful nature of their fuckups (Btooom, Mahouka, Chaos;HEAD, Mahou Sensou), products like Death Parade, Parasyte, Hunter x Hunter 2011 and One Punch Man still win people over. They’ve also animated movies for Mamoru Hosoda and Satoshi Kon before that have become iconic touchstones.

A1 Pictures, while I consider anyone hating them for extremely petty reasoning to be Digibiased, lack a legacy and are more notorious for their screwup series, ones that start strong and end as jokes. They’ve made plenty of solid series like Shinsekai Yori, Anohana, and Shigatsu, but even those get hated by the asshole critic types. Their best shows are typically the most simplistic ones rather than big reaching ones like I’ve listed above for Madhouse. Going out of their comfort zone leads to stuff that wrecks itself mostly.

Madhouse is one of the ass company who never make sequel until the recent Overlord.

Tbh there's nothing special in Overlord, it's your typical Isekai mmorpg type which filled with flashy skills,edgy stuff etc.

Not that i dislike it but it is the fact.

I don't care about present Madhouse, I am pretty sure Madhouse gets shit on for Mahouka and Mahou Sensou. I don't care for Overlord and OPM, you can even see them showcased in my rating system. But the old Madhouse, who made;

Texhnolyze
Monster
Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor
Death Note
HunterXHunter?
Hellsing Ultimate
Hajime no Ippo
Mousou Dairirin
Perfect Blue
Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei
Gungrave
Tokyo Godfathers
Casshern Sins
Sennen Joyuu
Kaiba
Touhai Densetsu Akagi: Yami ni Maiorita Tensai
Boogiepop wa Warawanai: Boogiepop Phantom
Nana
Beck
Takarajima

and a lot more, though yes, of course, they did some bad things in between those but it's still better than

The Madhouse who did;
Highschool of the Dead
No Game No Life
Btoom!
OPM
Death Parade
Mahou Sensou
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
Overlord

Though, they did Photokano which is one of the shows that got me into harem πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

And those who likes present Madhouse is still kinda blind with the hype of OPM, Overlord and such like Bones with Boku no Hero ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ much nubs m8

because people dont actually know why they are shitting on A-1 they just do
not realising new madhouse also is just a studio of freelancers that dont care about money or the quality of the anime they make after madhouse went broke around 2010-2011, they just hear digi and digi fans shit on A-1 for these reasons

fuck if anyone care that madhouse is trying to make overlord the new SAO
fuck if anyone hates overlord in the first place cause its muh subversion of isekai, even tho its rather everything wrong with isekai in general and is more trapped in the video game isekai than SAO
fuck if half of the people who shit on A-1 pics know what they are talking about anyways
It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.

Both hate and like the studios for the same reason, because they like or hate stuff they've made, regardless of how the production is actually handled.

Oh I like this show that studio made so I like that studio. Oh this studio made a show I dislike so I dislike them. It's generally never anything more than that cause that's all people look at.

A-1 has some pretty fluke hits. Even if we go off score/popularity you look past the first 9-12 and the drop is significant. Where as the first page of Madhouse score equals out in its popularity and even iconic value even higher. We can even be nice and extend that past sequel/movies and just brand value. It speaks well for itself.

I don't care if your A-1 fav is half way down the page either. And this is just being general because most of you don't even care about studio value any how.

Shitting on A-1 Pictures is one of the few ways the anime community allows people to feel elitist without social repercussions. And as some peole have mentioned, Madhouse has that whole decade-long legacy that A-1 Pictures just doesn't. Madhouse titles have already stood the test of time while A-1 is too new for that to be the case in the same magnitude.
I probably regret this post by now.

I think that A-1 has made one good show and it's called Interviews with Monster Girls. Madhouse has made three good shows they are called One Punch Man, Parasyte The Maximum and Hunter X Hunter. Neither studio iis amazing but at least Mad House Has decent pacing and occasionally amazing animation.

No, because Madhouse has a big history that impacted the anime industry, creating amazing to masterpiece shows back in the golden age. OPM, Parasyte are okay, HxH is good, not amazing for me. Though, people get blinded nowadays and hatedoms are popular ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you take a look at Digi, his mean score for A1 pictures is 3.85, which incidentally is also his worst studio by weighted score (221th btw). His mean score for Madhouse is 6.20, ranked 18th by weighted score.

Not to say whether or not I agree with Digi's opinion on either studio, but he does seem to have quite a noticeable preference for Madhouse over A1 in general. Hence his vocal hatred of A1 and not for Madhouse. It just makes sense because he truly feels that way.

His opinion then just rubs off on his fans, who go on hating on it. People are heavily influenced by what they watch after all.

Everyone, do give this a try. Go to MALgraph, see where Madhouse and A1 Pictures stack up for you.
Mine is:
A1 Pictures mean score 5.66.
Madhouse mean score 5.89.
Pretty much similar, and it corresponds quite similarly to what I think of both studios. Madhouse produces stand out shows a little more often, but in general both make mostly tons of anime I'll forget the next season.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Because A-1 Pictures hasn't produced anime as good as Madhouse, nor as many good anime.
The best I've seen from them is Shinsekai Yori and it's just a 7 where the studio didn't even do that good of a job because the production looks messy.

Madhouse has been around since the early 70s as far as I know of (Ace wo Nerae was around then). They've been around forever and are responsible for many successful entries.

I can't name a single thing A-1 has ever done besides SAO without looking. After looking, I didnt see anything made before the year 2008. They're guppies in comparison.

One has a legacy, the other doesn't. Throw in personal preference and the fact people are assholes and you got an answer.

Madhouse has some good ol' old-school shit, A-1 doesn't have any. Therefore I don't give a shit about A-1. =^)

Don't know what I will think of Erased at the end, but yes, I stand behind my scores of the completed series and movies! ;D

How could I hate the studio, which produced Shinsekai Yori and Magi? Also there are other things I liked.

welp from my list the difference isn't that big, but madhouse is better in terms of scores
maybe the haters keep on hatin' because madhouse is better in general? also, with the comparison of 'value' of the shows clearly evident, the fanbase/haters would also differ to a certain degree, no?

ah, looking at my rating I wonder how I gave such scores in the past... i usually give 5-7 nowadays unless I have fun watching the anime ;3

A-1 pictures get the hate because of the money they made through crap anime like SAO and their hate inducing anime like oreimo or eromanga. Rest of their money came from UtaPri and Idolm@ster franchises. They still produced some of the best anime ever like Uchuu Kyoudai, Gin no Saji, Ookiku, AnoHana and several fun anime like Working!!, Servant x Service, Blend S, Saekano etc. They have a line up of some shounen anime as well but they have adaptation issues (Ao no Ex and Magi for examples). A-1 is better when they stick with slice of life instead of action/fantasy/shounen. But most of their anime are forgettable.

Madhouse on the other hand have produced much more interesting and/or actual quality anime one after the other. They have anime like Death Note, OPM, Chihayafuru, HxH, Death Parade, Black Lagoon, Hellsing Ultimate, Trigun, Monster, Nana, CCS, Ippo, Rainbow, Beck, Tatamy Galaxy, NGNL, Saiunkoku, Dennou Coil, Hanada. Some of their other anime like Btoom, Oda Nobuna, Ore monogatari, Parasyte, Mahouka, Chobits, Kamisama Inai, Nejimaki, Kobato etc. are still watchable (even many fans like them very much). So they also have a fair amount of decent shows. Not that they don't have crappy anime but they created way more anime worthy of 9s and 10s compared to A-1.

At least that's evident through how non-Japanese fans think. A1, however, are much more successful studio and more popular amongst Japanese fans and critics which are notable through their commercial success and record in anime awards.

A-1 pictures get the hate because of the money they made through crap anime like SAO and their hate inducing anime like oreimo or eromanga. Rest of their money came from UtaPri and Idolm@ster franchises. They still produced some of the best anime ever like Uchuu Kyoudai, Gin no Saji, Ookiku, AnoHana and several fun anime like Working!!, Servant x Service, Blend S, Saekano etc. They have a line up of some shounen anime as well but they have adaptation issues (Ao no Ex and Magi for examples). A-1 is better when they stick with slice of life instead of action/fantasy/shounen. But most of their anime are forgettable.

But Magi season 2 was faithful to the manga.
