So this was made on /a/ back in 2010.
Now that so many things have happened, even back in 2011 alone.
How does it hold up today?
>>135121097
Thats a good image, whoever made it did a good job
>>135121097
Toei should be in low tier.
Ranking studios is fucking retarded. The quality of an anime is entirely based on the director and art direction.
There's no such thing as a 'SHAFT' style, for example, despite what /a/ thinks. There's only Shinbo.
>>135121246
could you say a studios quality can be ascertain by the people working for it?
>>135121097
>an actually agreeable studio tier list
Well, I'll be damned.
>>135121246
>There's no such thing as a 'SHAFT' style, for example, despite what /a/ thinks. There's only Shinbo.
There is, but it's not "headtilts", it's how their animators animate things and how their digital department work with it.
>>135121097
>shaft
>mid tier
nah
>>135121097
Gonzo make a new show next season so they're alive actually.
Artland did mushishi right? That looked really damn good so should be at least high tier now.
Manglobe deceased.
Gainax to mid tier.
Bones to high tier.
Otherwise it seems alright.
Shaft is inconsistent so can't really rate it.
>>135121097
>kyoani
>no top tier
shake my head to be honest family
>>135121500
Shut up, newfag.
>>135121500
Kyoani should be demoted further after a couple of flops.
>>135121660
>flops
That's clearly not what this is ranking.
Right, 2011 was a thing huh.
>>135121687
Kyoani should be shit tier for the shit they produce.
>>135121707
>Shinbo had been criticized for only making otaku pandering anime, while Yamakan was criticized for only making shit anime
Every time.
Gainax is probably dead tier.
>>135121405
This was back in 2010, where their only thing of note was SZS, Monogatari and debatably, Maria Holic at the time. Everything else was early 2000s.
>>135121796
>their only thing of note was SZS, Monogatari
But those are their best works.
>>135121848
Yeah and when you have only two shows of note in the recent years (2007 ~ 2010), you're kind of mid tier.
Also, they had Hidamari Sketch during a time during the moe/gar arguments. Keep in mind, this was back when /a/ being tsundere for /v/ actually had some credence, since /v/ didn't turn into total shit until about early 2012 or late 2011.
/sp/ was the problem, coming in stealing the GET threads.
>>135121707
>decided to use a character from a terrible show
>>135121707
>modcat
>bitches and whores
Once again, women ruin everything. 3DPD a shit.
>>135121910
I'd say 2010 Shaft should actually be higher than current Shaft. Their recent stuff was Bake, SZS, Hidamari, Ef, Mariaholic, and probably Arakawa was ongoing? The first four are all great.
seems about right
move gainax to dead tier
brains base to mid tier
satelight to low tier
manglobe to dead tier
toei animation to low tier
artland to mid tier
pierrot to mid tier since they've made some pretty good things in recent years
>>135121171
Wasn't Patlabor also done by Studio DEEN? Someone should make a pre 2000 studio list then DEEN would be at least at high tier.
>>135121910
Idk man, I think manglobe and shaft should switch places desu.
>>135121707
>generals banned
>>135121987
>artland to mid tier
Artland should probably be dead tier, honestly, since I don't think they've made anything aside from Mushishi since then.
>>135122041
you're right, I forgot they haven't made anything else
>>135121957
Probably, especially with other studios doing some pretty cool things.
The issue is that the first three are kind of their only things for TV anime that you'd call notable. SZS and Hidamari got their third seasons and Bake got the title of most successful anime of the new millenium.
Who the fuck talks about ef these days? Arakawa got posts in its seasons but I can't say I remember people talking about it after it aired too much.
Arakawa also was 2010 which was the cutoff, so it probably was still settling for them.
>>135122041
>>135122068
Senran Kagura in 2013.
>>135121097
Manglobe and Gainax to dead, Madhouse, JC, and HAL/TYO move down, PA and David move up. I think my other changes would just be disagreements about where they should have been in the first place.
Gainax needs to move to irrelevant tier.
>>135121097
Bones, Kyoani, Manglobe, and Gainax have all fallen a tier.
David Production and Artland have done enough to deserve to go up a tier.
Madhouse is a tough call. They made Death parade which was amazing, but they also made Photokano.
Add Trigger to the list in top tier.
Add White Fox to the list in high tier.
>>135122101
>Bones, Kyoani, Manglobe, and Gainax have all fallen a tier.
>Manglobe
>a tier
It is dead tier.
>>135122079
>Who the fuck talks about ef these days?
2010 is different, though. It still didn't get a ton of discussion, but a lot of people making the chart had probably seen it and remembered it decently well.
2009 was great.
>>135122101
>Death parade which was amazing
>Add Trigger to the list in top tier.
No.
>>135122125
Yeah, true. I remember just not going to the occasional threads it got.
It's hard remembering back then, but I don't think Shaft's placement in the mid-tier is exactly unwarranted depending on how far back they go.
>>135122101
>Add Trigger to the list in top tier
You should kill yourself.
>>135122101
>Add Trigger to the list in top tier
honestly so far Trigger is worse than deen in every aspect
>>135121707
What the fuck that was all in 2011? No fucking way. Feels like just last year.
>>135121097
Manglobe and Bee Train should join Gonzo in dead tier. JC Staff is mid tier and Toei is low tier. Everything else is pretty much correct.
>>135122395
2011 was almost 5 years ago.
>>135121707
>TFW People have literally been on /a/ since 2004
No but realistically when did all of you start browsing /a/? I find it hard to believe some of you have been here for over 5 years if not longer than that.
I get bored of a site after about a year or so, don't see how people can stay here for years and years even over a decade is impressive to me.
>>135122543
I've been here since either 2007 or 2008 iirc, somewhere around the time i got into SZS when that was a new thing around here.
I dunno man, I didn't really notice, it seems natural by now.
>>135122631
>>135122543
2007 definitely, when lucky star was airing.
>>135122543
4chan is this kind of site that you never get tired of.
>>135121097
>Artland in low tier
>>135122543
I've been here 6 years, I've had to take summer long breaks for jobs and such but nothing longer than a year.
I don't have to restrain my thoughts, which is nice.
>>135122543
Been here since 2009.
>>135122543
must've started browsing /a/ around 2008, its when to aru majitsu no index just finished up, most memorable moment in 2009 was
UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIlYZihSPY8
damn, 6 years since then eh?
>>135122543
I've only been here since early 2011 and even then the site (and /a/) has changed so much. Maybe it was just because it was my first year, but I think 2011 was a pretty good year.
>>135121097
Manglobe needs to be changed to dead tier.
>>135122543
I think earliest people you will find here is 2006.
Don't remember seeing anyone before that in a long time.
>>135122850
2011 was one of the shittiest damn years in a long time, right after 2015.
>>135121097
Drop Gainax to high tier and bones to mid tier. Also drop toei to low tier.
>>135122924
2014 was worse.
Hell 2012 was really bad too, what with the le reddit ironic shitposting xdd shit that was going around.
>>135122924

>>135122850

>>135122903
There are tripfags from before that who post frequently.
What kind of shit list is this? How was 2010 Kyoani lower than Bones?
Move Kyoani to the top for obvious reason.
White Fox and PA works are alo High tier.
>>135123364
>Move Kyoani to the top for obvious reason.
Not making anything above a seven in three years seems like a stupid reason to move them to the top.
>>135121097
KyoAni should be on top tier.
>>135121097
JC Staff has now ascended to top tier.
>>135124710
>Golden Time
>Sakurasou
>good
Pick none, because they are shit.
PA Works and Shaft up to High tier.
Trigger and White Fox in Mid tier.
Manglobe to dead tier ;_;
>>135122543
Only been here this year. I might just leave just like you, mate. Hell, I don't even post that often. I just read threads. The fighting between anons just seems so amusing.
>>135125234
Don't forget that you're here forever.
And it's not just a saying, it's an actual truth.
>>135121097
PA Works needs to be at least high tier. Sure, they made Glasslip and Charlotte recently which are great to meme-hate on, but they've also made Hanasaku Iroha, NagiAsu, Uchouten Kazoku and Shirobako since then.
>2015
>Still ranking studio but not producer
>>135121097
Too many studios missing in that pic
My pic contains all studios that have at least 5 anime in the last 6 years. It's not edited yet, so you all can move them in the way you want
>>135121097
Toei low tier
Bones high or mid tier
Sunrise top tier
Gainax dead tier (or I guess low to be technical)
Dogakobo was not really on the radar back, then but they're mid or high now.
PA works potentially high just because Shirobako (to me at least).
I'd also put SHAFT at high tier.
>>135125404
Manglobe ought to go to RIP Tier
Trigger, feel., Brains Base, and Satelight to Duh tier
bones to Kay Tier
>>135121097
I'm sure I'm missing like 90% of the studios but if I'm referencing the chart, it should be something like this.

Bones to Top Tier.
Xebec, Satelite down to Kay tier.

A-1 should be in the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ tier. The quality of their shows solely depends on the freelancers they hired for that show.
>>135124710
Why do people post and update this terrible bait chart? Put Slayers, Excel Saga, ROD, Nodame, Aoi Hana, and Shigofumi instead of all those LNs and you'd have a much better chart.

Not that I didn't enjoy Inferno Cop, it's just not more than a laugh.
>>135123394

WIT did Hozuki though and its better than anything 8bit ever put out.
>>135127152
Hozuki is mediocre, Yama no Susume and Tokyo Ravens are both better.
Other lists are shit. Here's the accurate one.
This is just based off of my favorite anime, so lots are not included, I guess the ones I don't really like. I think it's pretty accurate though.
>>135127285
Well this is the one I agree with the most so far. I'd still put Trigger in Shit Tier, they have yet to make something worthwhile.

>>135121097
>JC STAFF that high

I had a friend who'd been on /a/ since 2005 and left around 2012. According to them the rising autism factor has always been a trend. They left because they were getting fed up with stuff that people joked about in 2006 being taken seriously in 2011.
>>135122850
2011 was awful. That was the height of waifu bullshittery.
>>135130034
In 2011, generals consisted of K-On and Katawa Shoujo circlejerks. Of course they were banned.
>>135130401
And you think generals of 2015 aren't circlejerk and doesn't deserve to be banned?
>>135130432
They're no longer generals for shows no longer airing (for the most) and shit that isn't /a/-related in any way.
I'm not defending generals, I'm merely pointing out what they were in 2011.
Oh god it's been almost six years since the weeklong livewatch threads. Why am I still here.
>>135130474
Don't forget, you're here forever.
>>135128918
Bee Train bankrupted years ago, their employees split into many small studios
AIC bankrupted in early 2014, they are now IMS, same staffs with no money
You can find all the news in ANN by searhing their names
Gainax kinds of bankrupted now, not really, but they kept asking (online) for an anime job to do, but looks like they got none. Not really bankrupted, but being fired by the producers
Gonzo has no place in anime world for 4 or 5 years now, they were doing some shit in SEA during those days, until they come back in this 2016 Winter
>>135121707
That's not quite right.
What's Toei's deal?
It pushes out some god-awful bullshit, then every so often they decide to put some effort in and you get Mononoke or Kyousogiga.
There's some good talent there, but they don't fucking use it.

The only thing that's changed is Gainax and PA Works switched places. Oh, and KyoAni went to god tier.
>>135134817
Hello /a/ :)
Everyone saying KyoAni should move up, do you really think 2015 KyoAni is better than 2010? Their recent work now is much weaker than their recent work then was, in my book.
>>135121097
>JC Staff high tier
>Toei mid tier
Literally the 2 worst studios in Japan. And sunrise should be sent to mid tier for being so unimaginative for the last years.
>>135134930
Chart is obviously wrong because they were top tier back then.
Real question is whether we move them to a tier beyond top tier for current times. It's debatable because Hibike was a masterpiece
>>135134930
2010 KyoAni was what? K-ON S2? They've only risen in power since imo Hibikek was a great show and they haven't lost their touch since 2010. Maybe Tamako Market was a slip up but that's it.
>>135134999
I honestly don't think anything they've done in the last few years has been that great. I didn't watch Free, but Chu2 and Hibike were just okay, and Tamako, KnK, and Amagi were bad.
>>135134981
Nigger, JC Staff made some of the best shows of 2005-2010.
>>135122543
2004-2008, 2012-
>>135127377
They had a return to form this year. Concrete revelutio is so damn underrated and feels like a show made in their prime.
>>135121171
All that mediocre pretentious shit.
>>135135417
Nah, their best ones in their prime were pretty basic concepts, not as scattered/eclectic as this. I guess RahXephon had some weird convoluted stuff going on, but it was much more marginal.
>>135135098
>KnK and Amagi were bad

What happened with Bee Train to bankrupt?
I can't remember a single good anime from 2010. What a terrible year.
Funny thing that I just remembered threads about abandoning /a/. How many people do you think have left 4chan?

What happened with Bee Train? How they went to bankrupt?

Pic unrelated by the way.

Nice meme.

The Madhouse Marvel stuff happened and really lowered my opinion of them
>>135122543
I came here first in 2005 or so. I don't remember when I started going to /a/ specifically, I originally came to 4chan because someone told me it was a good source for Monster Girl porn.
>Gainax
>Badhouse
>Bones
Reminder KyoAni is the best studio and your favorite anime would be better if they made it
>>135122543
I've been here since 2013. Pretty new, but I respect the board culture. I wish I was here earlier, to see all the events that /a/ talks about.

>There's only Shinbo.
Most of the recent Shaft shows aren't actually directed by Shinbo. It's just that the other Shaft directors took on his style. By this point you might as well consider it the "SHAFT" style.
>>135121500
KyoAni has been pretty shit in recent years. All it has going for it is good art and animation.
>>135122543
I've been since 2010. It began to grate on me after a year or two, but then I started finding new hobbies here and checking out some of the other boards. Now I'm pretty sure I'm stuck here forever.
ITT: People who never watched things Kyoani made before K-on
>>135122543
Was either 2009 or 2010, was a few seasons before PSG aired. I mained /b/ probably my first two years of 4chan.

Funny thing a Shaftfag is the first to be butthurt about it

>implying they're the only ones
There's about a dozen studios better than current day shaft
>>135140170
Monogatari & Madoka are more influential than any other show these days.
>>135128285
>Butcher Staff
>Yay tier
They'r kay tier
>>135135127
Most of JC Staff's anime during that period were half-assed adaptions that were average and they weren't good or exeptional at all.
>>135122543
2010 here, I'll never not consider myself a newfag, even 10 years from now if this board still exists I'll still feel like a newfag for missing all the glory days of endless 8 and Geass Sundays I can only dream of having been a part of.

2006-2009. Came back in mid 2011 when I got into uni, haven't left again since.
