I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this, it's just that no one series came to mind? I generally appreciate studios as a whole who put out consistently good work. Here are some that come to mind.

Kyoto Animation. Yeah, I know. They're a little more marketing-minded than some other studios might be, gotta make back their money somehow right, but their shows usually keep a certain level of quality that's reassuring. Even though Kyoukai no Kanata had aimless and messy writing it was still animated to the tiniest detail and well done from a purely technical standpoint. Free! and KnK are the only shows I've watched, so I don't know what to recommend. I guess both are good.

Bones. Bones has a long legacy as a company, and some of their earlier stuff is pretty rough, but it was always above watchable, and as a company they seem to consistently try for a level of maturity in their writing. With mixed success, but a little love goes a long way. Currently airing is Captain Earth and Good God, it has not a single original idea in it. But it is beautiful, and I personally find Bones' house style very pleasant to look at. I'd recommend old Fullmetal Alchemist, its directing and editing are superior to the new one sadly. I'd also highly recommend Darker Than Black.

Madhouse. They took a guy writing in a notebook and made it fun to watch how did they even do that???? Watch Death Note. Their shows are sometimes on the cheap/weird side, but they've done a shitton of amazing movies like Perfect Blue, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Toyko Godfathers. Like Goddamn. If you're with Madhouse, you're in good hands.


These studios waffle between two extremes pretty effortlessly:

Manglobe gets a lot of praise, but I don't know. Samurai Flamenco and Deadman Wonderland looked pretty shitty most of the time. Approach with caution. They did make Samurai Champloo after all. Ergo Proxy is also beautiful, if a little up its own ass.

Production IG is in a similar category to Manglobe in my mind. I admit I haven't seen their most famous productions, but Blood+ was just so crappy. Blood-C looked great, but had jaw-droppingly fucking terrible writing. But they're doing Haikyuu right now, which looks great. A mixed bag.

From what I understand A1 Pictures is capable of beautiful things, but they also do weird half-assed shit every now and then. Oofuri Furikabutte looks amazing though.


Meanwhile, these studios killed my fucking pets and stepped on their corpses:

Studio Deen. With occasionally shitty art design to boot. Meganebu actually looked nice, but it was basically unwatchable. Otaku-oriented. The uninitiated need not apply.

Bee Train. They're okay if given a big ass budget, but overall work cheap and made Tsubasa oh God, Tsubasa was so bad.

Studio Pierrot. Motherfuckers.


EDIT Sorry I just feel bad about not adding Revolutionary Girl Utena and Mawaru Penguindrum. I still haven't gotten through MP, but it has almost movie-quality animation at times and some of the best art design you might see in a anime. Really amazing stuff.
