Production IG vs Gainax vs Madhouse vs Bones

I love the dog from Sword of the Stranger and Arumi from Magical Shopping Arcade.

Bones need to do better anime. Darker than black eureka seven and fma are all crap.

Hell yeah Bones and Gainax!

bones ..

+100 to Bones
+50 to Gainax

Uh, where is Sunrise Productions? How come they're not included?

Haha, nice post text.

I also like how I can use the presence of humour to predict which posts are not by Artefact without even checking the byline.

Why the frick is Saki there instead of Akira? No way in hell is she more iconic than him. I am disappoint IG.

Wheres JC Staff?

Hei alone crushes most of these.

I have to vote for Gainax. Their shows just ooze personality.

I won't rank them since each studio has their hits and misses for me.

On the pictures itself, I say Gainax and Bones have the best flow whereas the other two look rather messy.

Wouldn't have picked those pics for the groups myself. Gainax's KareKano is still my favourite romantic comedy, plus, as much as I think Evangelion was the perennial achievement for teenage intellectual comprehension, they made some shockers, only saving themselves with Guuren Lagaan recently. I mean, no one doubts that the reason they're remaking Eva isn't due to faulty story telling initially since they even made the films to patch up the ending, they just don't have many good ip to push anymore.

I'd have put more onto Cowboy Bebop for Bones, plus the exlusion of Gonzo is odd. I don't think they make particularly compelling anime but in the early 2000's they were the popular group.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

Just because of evangelion, gainax would win without a doubt. But let's see...Production I.G. has Ghost in the Shell...Madhouse has all the clamp characters and Vampire Hunter D. Bones has Darker than Black.
In my opinion they all win flawless.

I can't see Amasawa-san in Madhouse's pane.

Sunrise provided a mural-sized image and were disqualified.

Madhouse wins for me for including Sakura on the picture. Gainax is second for Abenoboshi and TTGL.
By the way interesting that Gainax only included girls on their picture, while Bones has guys and dogs only.

I.G are the elitist burgeoise. Bones are the mainstream proletariat. Gainax is the bespectacled guy lurking in the corridors. everyone else. . . .meh.

I.G wins.

Gainax sounds like a penis enlargement brand.

I don't see Gonzo, JC staff and A1 Pictures here, is it me or there's something wrong?

Bones and the SHAFTED ones!

Man... It's hard.. I love most of their works

As a Reborn Lolicon I have to go with Gainax, I mean, Arumi, Nadia, Mamimi! Hands down....

If I had to go by just what is shown in the illustrations, Gainax would come out on top. FLCL is all-time legendary, along with TTGL and NGE. But then IG got GITS, and Higashi no Eden was awesome. Bones has Darker than Black, FMA, and Ouran (didn't really like what they did with Eureka 7). Madhouse can just go suck dick for all I care if it wasn't for Vampire Hunter D (and Needless, which isn't shown).

Oh Gainax... you had me at Nadia. You had me at Nadia...

If there is such thing as Gainaxing, Shafting and "Boning"; is there also such thing as Madhousing, IGing, Kyoaning and Gonzoing?

:P

I don't understand how can people compare 4 epic studios that have their own epic legacy.

WTF Madhouse? You've created some of the greatest anime of all time and you put that lot on the cover? You only need Chi to show your Clamp relationship, why not toss in L or Revi or Alucard or jesus, anything other than some of those crappy characters

yea thats cool

but........... sunrise, baby

remember the Bebop!!!!!!

Can, please, comeone write the names and the series of every pg protrayed?

On Madhouse's picture...Where the fuck is Vash the motherfucking Stampede? That's a sin.

Oh great, it's nice for BONES to sit all their main characters onto a single couch, it's just not nice for them to not acknowledge each other.

GAINAX FOREVER

Who is the guitar holding waitress lefty of nadia?

How could Bones leave out Cowboy Bebop?

My ranking would be along the lines of:

1. Bones
2. Madhouse
3. Production I.G
4. Gainax

Madhouse did a shitty job with that picture, missing out on stuff like Death Note and Black Lagoon and instead putting in bunch of nobodies (facepalm at Dante). Chi was enough for Clamp stuff.

Gainax don't produce much anime lately. Their last one was what? TTGL a few years ago? The cream of their crop is Evangelion and that's ancient and being reused over and over. Frankly, despite all the mad hype about their series, I haven't enjoyed them that much.
