So now that the massive let down of OPM season 2 has passed. I hope it has at least
I just wanted the general MAL opinion on the studio as it currently stands. Also just letting it out there since people mentioned OPM 2 sucked because scheduling problems. Quick mention that J.C somehow pulling off doing 4 shows this season along with all of them coming out almost on the same day


Isn't the first time they pull something like this off but wanted the people to know

As far as I'm concerned these are all good fun shows but this is the internet so people who disagree exist


But yeah as said. I just want to know peoples's opinion/perception on the studio so please praise or shit on them as much as you want in the thread and discuss with others you agree with or not on the quality of the studio

Nothing change because as far as I am concern I still have as much fun like what they are doing years ago. Being hit or miss isn't exclusive to one studio either.

I like a handful of their shows, High Score Girl especially is really good, but the majority of it is all the kind of anime i avoid and have zero interest in. I prefer their old experimental stuff the most. Cat Soup was amazing and Alien 9 was pretty good too.

The worst MOST popular studio out there. I dropped accelerator because the animation was average at best as every anime they have made and the sound effect is getting worse and worse. I don't undestand, how can they fuck up the sound effect? I probably would have not cared that much about the animation but jesus christ, the sound effect (and it's not only the JC Staff studio, for that matter) is garbage. I hope i'm not the only one in this world who really can't enjoy anime mainly because of the effect + The accelerator voice actor is edgy as fuck. It makes me puke. Nowadays the sound effect is garbage. Someone needs to say it. Someone really needs to. They did create that toradora opening, though, so all in all it was not a complete disappointment.

Among all anime i've seen that are adapted by JC Staff, only 3-4 were overall good to me and i've seen a lot of them, to say the least.

Nah I'm joking I have no problem with them, it's just it seems they lost their amibition and just adapts bad to average material and do sequel while it makes money.

I would gladly go back to the good times of Toradora, Sakurasou or Maid-sama, at least their romcoms had some artistic desires.

I definitely have a negative impression. Yes, they have done many great shows, but that’s like 10% or less of their shows, so yeah, whenever I see something done by J.C Staff my expectations are very low. Plus, their animation is lazy most of the time, and I’m not referring to OPM 2 in particular, but to every show they animate

Accelerator is done solidly which is surprising in a good way after Index III debacle. Overall though my opinion of the studio is relatively bad. At best they would be low average kind of studio. I wouldn't want them to pick up any series I would want to be great. But there are worse studios out there. Right now it seems that all studios are going down in terms of quality (maybe besides some exceptions like David Pro), which probably has something to do with the state of the industry right now.

I don't trust in this studio, they're works are bad for some reasons nowadays. they've ruined OPM with a bad second season and that’s really sad. Moreover, DanMachi currently airing season isn’t that good, not only for the story but I think a bit is because of the studio.

They made some of my favourite anime. 2015 was probably their best year with shows like Shokugeki no Souma, DanMachi, Shimoneta and Prison School. Since then they degressed a bit qualitywise and I have to admit that other studios do a better job. But overall I still like them, not comparable with Toei or Pierrot.

They have nothing to do with the danmachi Story . All they have done is taken and re written parts from the source material that can fit into a 20 mins epiosde timeslot and added thier own scenes that arent in source material ( for example the bath scenes from episode 5 minus the Mikato one where she in it alone that was is the SM ) and cut aloud of stuff like any other adaption .

I think you forgot to mention, that the sound effects are garbage.

OT: JC Staff is a pretty boring studio. They don't take risks and are very dull in visuals/animation. Every season they pump dozen of low/medium quality shows out so they can maximize their profit.

I was talking about the way the story is adapted by them, yes, the story itself wasn't that good for me but they aren't doing a great job. For example, in the first episodes they created hype for something is going to happen, I don’t want to spoil, and after this will be resolved by an episode that I If found really bad. Like most of the novels adaptations there are problems in the adaptation and this is a fault of the studio. However, in my post, what I want to say was that the season wasn’t that good not only for the story but also in this there’s a little faul of the studio.
Sorry if there are errors in my english.

They're always one of two extremes. Either there show is amazing or it's absolutely terrible, and there doesn't seem to be any inbetween, at least from the shows I've watched. I've finished nearly as many JC shows as I've dropped and the ones I've finished I've thought were amazing (except maybe Raildex) and all the ones I dropped or put on hold I thought were the worst shit I'd ever seen (with a few exceptions)

As it currently stands, huh? Well...... Shokugeki no Soma by itself would seem to indicate a fall in JC Staff, and I'm not talking about the story. The third season is honestly downright embarrassing from an animation and direction standpoint that I question how anyone can say it looks good, and while it's not quite as bad, season 2 was still bad in those regards. I haven't watched any part of Raildex, but what I hear of season 3 of Index is not a good sign, and Amanchu Advance was generally a let down compared to the previous season. Without sequels, Children of the Whales had potential but ultimately didn't fully capitalize on it and Angels of Death by all accounts is a serviceable if unremarkable camp horror show.

Not to say everything was bad, Planet With has its audience that adores it and I can kinda see why even if it didn't fully click for me, Saiki Kusuo I still maintain as my favorite comedy ever and was hilarious through to the end, and more people need to watch High Score Girl because that show is amazing.

There's s ton more shows besides what I mentioned, but as a snapshot of JC Staff over the last two years, they're just another unremarkable studio with a really good back-catalogue of classic shows. Not saying they never make good shows, but seeing JC Staff in front of a new show is not exactly a signifier of quality. Not saying it won't be good, but saying it won't necessarily be good.

(Didn't talk about the currently airing shows because I'm watching none of them. Have not watched Raildex to watch Accelerator, didn't personally care for Dungeon, just not interested in Okaasan online, and Demon Girl Next Door seems decent, but already had too much I was watching to pick it up, will check out later)

Hachimitsu to Clover
Nodame Cantabile
Bakuman
Toradora!
Golden Time
Sakurasou

Those are fantastic rom/coms. Hachimitsu is more of a dramedy and Bakuman an unorthodox battle shounen, tho.

Maybe those are not masterpieces per se, but they're definitely at the top of their respective genres and fans know how to appreciate them.

As of now? J.C is still pretty sh*t and their poor management on their anime while still working on so many shows in one season is laughable.


Before any of you guys brought up Accelerator anime, while it's true that the quality of that show are fine so far (At least from what I heard) but based on Youhei Yaegashi's tweets posted on Reddit, their schedule is still bad and he was overworked for trying too hard to keeps the quality of his shows look decent.

Haven't seen Hachimitsu to Clover nor Nodame Cantabile. Watched the first season only of bakuman and i'll be honest with you, i didn't like it. The idea is fantastic but i didn't enjoy at all. Toradora is one of those "4" anime i said are good, and in fact, Toradora is great perhaps masterpiece. Golden time too. I hate Sakurasou. Sure, there are stuff from JC Staff that were good but considering how many shows that studio has adapted, the number of the good shows is extremely low.

Sure, i totally understand your point, but my previous post was ONLY related to Saiki of not a masterpiece. I can't see it but i guess to each their own. The jokes are the same as one has seen in every anime. It's like as in Beelzebub, pretty much. Decent but nothing outstanding.

Back in the 90s, they put out a lot of great stuff, "Slayers" being one of those things.

But, for the past decade, the vast majority of everything they've done is so horrible, it's completely unwatchable. It's sad to see how downhill they went.

They have good and bad shows, like any other studio....I didn't watched any series they've made recently because most of them are the reason why the outsiders don't take the animation as a medium seriously....but they made some really good shows, in complete contrast with those 4 you mentioned.

I haven't seen much from them so I don't really have an opinion. They do have some series I'm rather interested in though.

My observation however is that they're starting to become what Deen was ten years ago. I could be wrong of course but my most recent watch by them really didn't have the same magic as the two older anime I've seen. If that's the case with all of their more recent output then I guess why people don't like the studio anymore.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the studio has went downhill since 2017? I mean, these people made some of the most known shows like Toradora, Shokugeki no Souma, Index series, and much more, but lately they have been making so many average shows and pumping out around two or three shows each season which certainly isn't good for the studio.

Well just from the last 2 years alone, I really liked Satsuriku no Tenshi, Shokugeki no Souma, Saiki Kusuo no Sainan, and Vatican Kiseki Chousakan..

UQ Holder is pretty okay, though I didn't really like the manga anyway so there's that.

The only series that I've seen that I didn't like was High School Girl, and that has more to do with the style of comedy more than the way it's animated. Also dropped Alice to Zouroku because of the characters.

I suppose nowadays they're mostly known for butchering OPM2, Toaru season 3, and DAL3.

I haven't finished the first season yet, but their WIXOSS series is also pretty good.

I like JC Staff. I enjoy a lot of their 2000s romance shows (Nodame Cantabile being a standout). Last year's Saiki 2 and High Score Girl were wonderful. They do produce many unremarkable shows these days but if they release 1-2 good shows a year, I'm OK with that.

J.C. STAFF is one of the best studio, they make a lot of good anime. I never really cared about animation (it looks fine to me anyway)

The only show from them that I'm not watching in this season is Machikado Mazoku (it looks shit), but other 3 are good.

I'd be willing to write for as much as I want about those anime so I can have a legit argument but nah, haven't seen em for now, maybe some time after it's finished airing.

The first two anime from the left looks like it's intended for school humans, I mean teenagers. Two from the right to have an opinion so I would say it's a good try for me, see how it goes because it's isekai.
