Studio Pierrot did this:
8 canon episodes in a whole year... I just ask myself, why? The manga is OVER! SP! Just finish this whole fillerception.
Their glory days was in the 90s.... was a long time ago.
That's only a few scenes in the Pain arc and people make a big deal out of it. The Madara scene was animated well and there's plenty of moments where the anime had great animation/art. My Hero Academia would of gotten a seasonal treatment if SP picked it up so you wouldn't have to worry about those poorly animated scenes. Seasonal animes don't require as much resources as a long running anime does.
So what? It automatically makes it invalid? It's not like they've totally deviated since the 90s. My point is that they handle shonens well; I wasn't specifically talking about their animation/art.
Popular ones include FMA, FMA:B, Soul Eater, Kekkai Sensen, Eureka 7, Noragami, Space Dandy, etc.
Off top of my head: Darker Than Black, Sword of the Stranger, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kekkai Sensen, soul eater, space dandy, akagagami. They excel in animating fighting scenes and action.
nah it just means that their worst is so far apart from their best that the nostalgia of their best in the past is forgotten. They may handle shonens like Naruto and Bleach in the long-run, but overall they're simply average. I like several works that were animated by Pierrot, but I myself acknowledge that the studio is among the last ones I want to take up an action-oriented series, even if it's shonen.
Given how they made a huge miss with two popular great hits, nah I don't think their failures are considered "irrelevant" in the minds of most fans who've seen those shows and read the manga. Regardless, they're capable of doing good to some series. These series tend to be ones you don't really expect to be popular until Pierrot takes it up.
I wasn't claiming they were perfect so ofc there's better studios out there. Yeah, I do prefer Bones over SP, it's just that I don't really get the hate for SP when it comes to handling shonens. It's not like they mess up the material of the series with their shonens. For the most part, it's faithful. I agree Bones is probably the best selection since they're amazing at animating action scenes.
Read what I said earlier, I'm talking about shonens specifically.
Naruto is a long running series you cant expect god tier animation every episode
When did I say it was the ''god tier animation''. Quote me and then we will talk.
