Studio of the Week, week 2: A-1 Pictures
Welcome to the second episode of a weekly r/anime discussion series on anime studios! This is a space to share thoughts on any and all anime from A-1 Pictures studio, their strengths or weaknesses, prominent members of the industry who frequently work with them, your favourites from the studio... whatever you feel like talking about. Even if you’re fairly new to anime, chances are you might have seen at least one A-1 Pictures anime. If you’re not sure, you can use MALGraph’s section on “favourite studios” to find a list of all the A-1 Pictures anime you’ve seen to date.
Remember to follow reddiquette and this subreddit’s rules at all times. Don’t forget to spoiler tag!
Notes/announcements:
It recently came to my attention that Xebec is a subsidiary of IG Port, the company which owns Production I.G.. While I appreciate that the studios are not the same like KyoAni/Animation Do are, I will nevertheless be grouping them together into the August 7th discussion for convenience’ sake.
Additionally, I will now be posting a discussion for Lerche due to their production of two of the most popular anime this season, Monster Musume and Gakkou Gurashi.
