#animetierlist
the homie damian, mappa, attack on titan, demon slayer, ufotable, kyoto animation, winter 2022 anime, jojo's bizarre adventure, david production - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I honestly don’t care what Mappa adapts,I just want the animators to sleep.
Facts 😔
😴😪
but that'll break their 587 day streak of no sleep for any employees
but mappa isn't the only example i guess....
Working in asian countries sucks
I'll have you know that AOT: Junior High was the only thing keeping my crushed heart going through aot.
Its the therapy we need
Unironically a good show 😤
Ikr
Was it actually good I don’t really like chibi style so I never watched it.
@@justaweeb1482 All I remember is Eren liking hamburgers and cute Mikasa chibi
I love how Damian makes sure to talk about David pro last so the jojo fans will stay around the whole video and then put it in F tier on purpose lmao
Calculated.
I was expecting a Jojo Tier below F
The jokes are funny and all but it would be nice to know his actual ranking for David Productions instead of the same old joke
Yes.. and it worked 💀
Edens Zero manga has better art work than MHA
Ex arm really was a hidden gem, shame it didn’t get the attention it deserved
cant believe it didnt get nominated for anime of the year
@@shadow_lore CR awards suck
But fr tho, the manga slaps
@@aragamiyamato7413 manga of the year low key 😂😂
Ex Arm literally had better animation than Demon Slayer no cap
Damian : puts Trigger at the top
Me: Happy thinking he knows true art
Also Damian: puts DP at F-tier
Me(outside): haha funny
Also Me (inside): *Now listen here u piece of shi-*
When he said that mappa's cgi is ugly..........that was enough for me ._. Now I can have my worst sleep in my life
real
real
I think Trigger and Kyoto are top tier for me. The character design from Trigger is S-Tier, and Kyoto has consistently beautiful animation.
Agreed 🙏
to put it very simply, the artist in Kyoani are threated like human beings and not anime-making machines :| (not sure about Trigger but I kind of feel they have a similar phylosophy)
@@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060treated*
@@stylinsandwich No they're probably threatened, maybe more humanely than other studios tho
@@lumilight4242 fair tbh
I swear White Fox really cares about the quality of their adaptations so much. You barely see the opening and ending in re:zero season 2 cause they always skip it to make way for the story. Also, their decision of insert songs being sung by the actual characters and played during crucial story parts is so good
White Fox really went all out for Re: Zero, those 30 minute episodes were great!
White fox animated rezero s2 in pandemic while the workers being at home but it turns out so good nobody noticed aside from upto date people
really i thought season 2 art was kinda ugly, respect the music and what they did with eds and ops but seeing it come out in 2021 when the art was argubly better 8 or whatever years ago, an overall decline in music(not terrible though) and a genreal fuck up for more of the source content than season 1.
@@kazuchad2948 Yeah I get that, pandemic probably fricked alot of stuff up. Trailers made it seem like they were gonna go all out with production, but then covid suddenly appeared and they had to delay the parts by a season or two. They probably would've popped tf off if it werent for certain events. Sad.
@@heato8870 yeh completely agree looking at the source material makes it worse Roswaal was supposed to be like shooting six different spells at the same time using martial arts like kicking and stuff but it got altered to just a mage guy who shoots fire.
Studio Pierrot popped off in dozens of important fight scenes, too bad they take on mostly long running shows which gives their production a somewhat low tier look but the key fights in Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, Black Clover and Boruto were top tier.
Agreed
Because of Studio Pierrot, Bleach, Tokyo ghoul and boruto become most dropped anime
@@kushagrachopra9564 most dropped anime goes to gintama
@@ABlandName according to MAL, it's Bleach, 170k drops. Of course not everybody uses MAL, but I wouldn't be surprised if it really was most dropped
They only good at animating fights, they completely ruined Tokyo Ghoul.
Love seeing White Fox in S tier. Hopefully they're back for Re Zero season 3.
Did they announce that ?
@@entsubar8248 Nope nothing yet
I want to believe, but White Fox is struggling real bad and I'm not confident they could do arc 5 justice. I'm just praying they choose a studio that can make those fight scenes as cool as they were in the WN and LN
Would be great if Ufotable could take over
they did bro
I loved the comments about Whitefox! ReZero has become one of my favourite shows and for the second season they made every episode longer than the standard format and didn’t use ops and endings to really squeeze every ounce of content into the episodes
Yeah, sunrise is the best, this is based on the animation, types of work, importance to details and give to every anime their own style and soul. They made not just love live and cowboy bebop, they also made Gintama (if you see the whole anime youre gonna know that they REALLY loved that anime), code geass and Gundam.
Ong gintama is peak
Sunrise and Bandai Namco on top, Goatama peak fiction
Code geass❤
Bro Code Geass was an Sunrise Original,they really popped off,pissed that he put Production I.G. In F.
I thought he was rating animation not the anime…
Planetes is amazing too
Even if Madhouse isn't as great as it used to be, I'd still consider them S tier since they've been shaping the medium and consistently producing bangers since the 70s. They've been top of their game for decades and even after their near bankruptcy early 2010s they still occasionally make hits like OPM, Death Parade and Sonny Boy.
From Osamu Dezaki, to Satoshi Kon, to Takeshi Koike, they've already achieved GOAT status for letting so many influential creators thrive.
Frieren was so well made what do you think
@@KARMA-jr6uk Another great example of why they're GOATED. One of my favorite shows in general last year
Frieren is the latest anime produced by Animation Producer Yuichiro Fukushi put out every 2ish years, which is one of the main reasons it looks so consistently great. OPM (2015), Acca 13 (2017), Boogiepop and Others (2019), Sonny Boy (2021) are the other ones. I love Sonny Boy and OPM as well so I'm not surprised. Haven't finished the others tho
I'd put bones in S tier if we're going off the quality of their adaptation and not the quality of the stories they pick up. Bones, ufotable, Kyoto, and trigger are the only ones I'd put in S.
Agree
I agree with all except ufotable
I mean it did gives us at least one top tier anime every year, and it made mob psycho, my second favorite anime, sooooo
Easily S tier
you must be sakuga fan only sakuga fan knows bones studio is capable of every genere of anime. but sadly 90% of bones anime are underrated
wit studios is nearby
The studio behind “High Guardian Spice” is def the underdog of the anime industry. What a hidden gem. Jojo fans are seething.
What’s their name again?
Runchycroll
@@Yobisewk206 that was them?
@@woodhidh I think so yeah
Haha wait wtf-
kyoani is so epic that the single frame of violet jumping on water immediately gave me goosebumps
Loved the gag at the end, but i kinda wished you put your imput on DP, mostly to know your opinion on their shows (besides JoJo), regardless had a lot of fun.
Just classic Damian being a tsundere for Jojo
Nah but seriously Madhouse, Ufotable, Bones, KyoAni, Mappa and Ghibli are GOATs. And Pierrot totally deserves D-tier imo for different reasons
Why does it deserve to be D-tier? I dont know anything about any of their work so im curious
I dont think Pierrot is absolutely awful but the way they made almost half of Bleach filler, made the animation of Black clover really weak in some areas and everything they did with Tokyo ghoul after season 1 speaks for itself. But they've done some really good stuff as well
@@etonlau8243 yeah mostly due to them usually going for long running shows which really stretches the budget but when needed they absolutely nailed the fights.
@@etonlau8243 the filler isn't really their fault, pierrot actually did a really good job with Bleach's animation for the most part, especially the fullbringer arc and the latter half of the aizen assault arc
Mappa are far from goats. They don't have any work that compares with the studios you listed.
Over this whole year, Cloverworks has been popping off with Spy x Family, My Dress Up Darling and Bocchi the Rock!.
They've gotta be at least sitting in the A range if not B tier, if he were to redo the list.
Cloverwork is working with Wit studio in Spy x family.
Pretty much anything by KyoAni is a certified hood classic. Can’t really disagree with anything here tbh 👌
You’re wild for putting Chijutsu Kaisen at 16:03 lmaooo I like the tier list man
😏
Nice topic we do not often talk about anime studios but its pretty interesting
As for my favourites David pro, shaft, and White fox
Of course, he made sure DP is last to extend the watch time for jojo fans, and puts it in F tier to increase comments
Truly a despicable, and smart move playing the jojo fans like a damn fiddle 😈😈😈
That really worked on me
Idk why people hate Fairy Tail and JoJo, they will always have a special place in my heart..
I only hate fairy tail season 3. Don't have problems with the story, as allways it doesnt have much plot holes atleast. But my problem is with the animation in season 3. Which was done by clover works and bridge if Im not mistaken
Would love to see you do an anime directors tier list, Imiashi’s the goat
Just came across this channel, absolute banger of a video. Looking forward to more videos
Glad you like it 🙏
Put shaft is s and mad house is A bruh💀
honestly i think both shaft and Kyoto animation are my favorite studios but i think u should have put madhouse in s tier just because of satoshi kon films.
1st video of yours I've seen. Great stuff. Well worth a subscription.
I would pay to see the reaction of every Jojo fan watching this video just waiting to see David Production's rating lol
As a Jojo fan. I can sure you are a jojo fan.
It's rare to see a tier list I agree with.
No way you agree with the last one lol
Calm down dudes, he just joking about dp on f tier, he often says that to jojo to make fun of jojo fans.
ufotable could expand their resume a bit, but when it comes to action scenes, is pure eye sex. No amount of impact frames can compare to 1st class 3d effect work
I'm glad to have met your channel and ofc someone who loves studio shaft too❤❤
It kind of sucks that Cloverworks messed up that second season of The Promised Neverland I was hyped to see the stuff being brought from the manga.
Promised Neverland only has 1 season. What are you talking about?
@@jerrygoodman1943 dude, check of funimation, there is a second season
@@Rengoku_fan dude, it's a joke
@@Rengoku_fan I'm guessing the joke is that season 2 was so bad we just don't acknowledge its existence, and act like it didn't happen
@@Emma-ei2zk not very funny
Was getting a little worried there that you were gonna forget the goats, trigger and gainax. Then i realized you didn't include Peridot Studio which is based as fuck for you to do.
12/10 video
Hyped to subscribe, Few videos in loving it. Got into Anime AOT summer 2022 .... Playing that catch up life ever since.
11:20 little did he know madhouse was cooking up frieren 🔥🔥
Please make this a yearly series it would be good to see how some studios improve or degrade over the years
I'm actually devastated that Vinland got dropped by Wit
Why same staff are working on s2 at mappa
11:22 LET'S GOO I was waiting for you to say Monster that show just gives me goosebumps bro my God…
Im glad that you put all my favorite studios in S tier
Banger video as always man, only thing I really disagree on this list is Pierrot being D, should be C because even though they do make some bad scenes/iffy animation sometimes, they can do better if they weren't doing weekly shows and rushing some of the animation.
Hope you have a good rest of your day : )
Science Saru for me is S tier. Similar to Shaft no one does it quite like them. I would have also loved for you to talk about even more studios like P.A. Works, 4°C, Manglobe, Ponoc, Gonzo, OLM, Kinema Citrus, Artland, khara,.TMS entertainment,.Chizu, CoMix Wave Films etc.
when i see you put toei animation on the same level as madhouse, i done with the video, thanks
You forgot to add big boys such as Comix Wave, PA Works, Satelight, Feels and 8bit. I know there's oregairu there but curious what do u you see it
This is the first time I agree so much with a tier list.
ur opinions are so goated tho fr, shaft and trigger are the best. only studios who have very very unique styles
Prod. IG should be in S, they made ghost in the shell, FLCL, Jin Roh, psycho pass, and heavenly delusion, and are now working on the Uzumaki anime. they dot not deserve F
This guy is full of his own shit biased mindset
Yo love the content but next drunk reaction I think you reacting to doctor stone would be funny as hell when your toasted
I love me some Jojo but I can really appreciate the trolling, that's why I watch you!
I love these tier lists
Yah i love mad house is A 💀
I like this guy ranks them, so here's my rankings:
Sunrise is A-tier soley because Code Geass is in my top 5 favorite animes and Inuyasha is a hard nostalgic trip!
Ufotable is S-tier because I adore of well they blend 3D with 2D. Demon Slayer I originally thought was their best, but I recently watched Fate/Zero and now that's taken the crown by a landslide.
A1 Pictures is B-tier, they're most popular shows aren't great but their other ones are pretty nice. My favorite is 7DS, in which they made the good seasons.
Bones is A-tier for reaply good work, and my favorite is the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise since that was my first anime.
I'd give WiT studio an A-tier soley based on the first 3 seasons of AoT, but it's the only one I've seen from them so I don't think that's fair.
White Fox is usually S-tier for what they do, but I have to knock off points for the atrocious anime adaptation of Akame ga Kill! *The manga was so much better*
David Productions is B-tier, I may despise the Jojo fanbase but the anime is actually pretty well done, and they did the anime with Break-Dancing on fire!
Mappa is pretty good with their current line-up shows, but the CGI can sometimes get real ugly *Looking at you Armoured Titan*, but otherwise A-tier.
Pierrot is C-tier mainly because they do not know the concept of seasonal anime, but some the fight scenes are just clean.
Madhouse is badass with their string of shows, especially Black Lagoon and Hellsing Ultimate which Damain forgot to mention, so definitely A-tier!
And lastly, Trigger/Gainax are bias tier because Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill are my goated animes!
You need to watch Kara no kyoukai especially movie 5 and 7 since for many people that is Ufotable's best ever work
production I.G?
Sunrise is S+ tier solely for Gintama
Mad house is S Tier
Dame, can you name an anime that was worse than the 2022 NBA Dunk Contest?
Literally no
thanks for shout outing shaft, shaft is really underrated
12:27 After u finish Gintama, it will probably be ur new favorite anime from Sunrise
Yessirr, Goatama is fire
I mean that’s high praise considering that Sunrise has some of the greatest anime ever made. I haven’t seen Gintama, but I’ll get to it, so I can’t speak on it.
“Definitely ain’t seraph of the end” ?!?! That anime was pure fire 🔥 ?! Without a doubt one of Wit Studios best works
I just wanna say that AoT: Junior High is really fucking underrated and is unironically a really good show and a lot of it actually has some foreshadowing to the real show if you look closer, so in conclusion Damian fucking watch the series i promise you'll like it
I've seen it it's dope lol
@@uraniumcheese5352 lmao YESS fuck them manga readers
@@thehomiedamian damn why you make me look like a dumass, i mean i am a dumass but thats not the point
Whenever he says a studio is iconic and well respected i always think hes trolling because ive never heard of stuff like white fox until he lists the animes theyve made
Just out of curiosity, how would you actually rank David Productions?
An actual serious question. What do you dislike about Oregariu?
Very entertaining video I wonder why he isn't popular
**watchs till the end**
Oh I see!
Yeah agreed. I am not a fan of CG in S4 of attack on titan. The transition from 90% of Shifter titans being traditionally hand drawn to full on CG is a huge stepdown imo.
It's not the fault of staff working on it giving their all under the time constraints barely having any star 2D animators.
It's the fault of both production committee and Mappa higher ups who took the contract.
But you gotta think S4 is so much more titan fighting they wouldn't have the budget to hand draw them all wit or mappa it would have been cgi
Mappa was going to ask one more year to animate s4 from Pony Canyon but they refused it.
@@ng-dr5sf it's not about budget when it comes to animation. It's about time and artists you have which current staff lacks.
It's the fault of Mappa who took the project reason why we are getting half baked product. No one here is blaming the staff who are getting overworked night and day to put this out.
If mappa hadn't took the contract purely for greed the season could have been made later on with a better schedule with higher chances of WIT returning or just any other better studio or mappa itself with better schedule and artists at hand.
Whatever the case the fact remains that S4 so far has been pretty rough. There's no defending the overwork and quality of the season.
@@gamebond6248
"If mappa hadn't took the contract purely for greed the season could have been made later on with a better schedule with higher chances of WIT returning."
Wit was the one who dropped Attack On Titan and it was planned since the start of season 3, so I don't really think it's from the scheduling issues, they were suffering financially and Attack on titan wasn't helping them, so I doubt that they will continue with Attack on Titan with better time lines.
Having said that MAPPA is greedy and obviously cares about money, but if MAPPA hadn't accept the show, and WIT refused to continue on it, then we wouldn't have gotten a season 4, maybe in 2023 once they find a free "not greedy" studio that wants to Animate it, from business perspective the more delays on this project the more fans will switch to Manga and Total revenue will decrees from Anime.
I mean it's clearly the fans request to not delay this project, the majority of fans don't want an Attack on titan movie or season 4 part 3, because they don't wanna wait, the quality in part 2 obviously improved than part 1, but all of this because MAPPA animators getting over worked, things are complicated.
As a top priority they must have healthy working environment, if this require more delay for the show I am fine with it, fans will get used to these delays eventually, maybe producing high quality animation will bring back the fans who switched to Manga.
An other option is MAPPA should stop taking too many shows at once, they can focus more in their projects without being greedy, they new strategy is quantity over quality.
I think CG is way more expensive than 2D animation. And i don't know why would MAPPA waste money on CG if it wasn't because of time. I believe MAPPA could deliver a 2D animation as great as WIT, they just lack the time
Doga kogo has iconic series and it's called Umaru-chan. Yes.
I d put mad house in s tier for the accurate monster adaptation (which is one of the best thriller detective manga of all time)
everyone should watch it one day
+ technolyze (one of the darkest cyberpunk animes ever)+ trigan + gungrave + ninja scroll
P.s. come on Pierrot did Great teacher Onizuka, give them some credit for it
Dude literally had the exact same S tier as me. Kyoani, Shaft, White Fox (had Ghibli but they're film exclusive) are god tier studios.
Yes I realize there's a tier above, still surprised those 4 ended up in the same tier tho.
Also production ig in f hurts they had made so many classic and help change anime as a whole with how they did here design back I the day. For me a tier for sure. Also hey helped produce all most all of wit studios stuff so
Mad House made Redline, which is one of the best anime movies ever made
Can't forget that Kyoto Animation made the Nichijou animation and they animated the shit out that slice of life comedy. To this day Nichijou is one of my top favorite comedy Anime
I WAS SO MAD I HADN'T SEEN SHAFT ON THE LIST TILL U SAID U SAVED IT FOR LAST FUCK YES
Where can I watch the jujitsu kaisen live action?, I'm asking fo a friend
As a Jojo fan, the ending felt like stumbling upon my house in rubble.
Same
What about lerche?
Is it wierd that I watch aot juniour high before aot 8 years ago. It aired on tv, and never thought that aot existed before that.
When solo leveling anime was announced they said it was being made by A-1 and I had no idea who that was, found your video and I'm slightly concerned now.
Oh boi Damian, since you put Ghibli on the list, I will remind you about the studio who made Makoto Shinkai famous, and maybe Ghibli's duelist in the movieverse... Your Name, Garden of Words, Weathering with You, and the classic 5 Centimeter per Second. It's CoMix Wave Films :D
Bros 150 year old vampire stuck in the bottom of the ocean
the teams behind mappa are too adorable. I wish them the best
Best Cgi
are you casual otaku look at trigger and bones they have some passion project like space dandy and kill la kill
Trigger is s tier
Mappa is legit putting there animators in a cages like aot jujutsu Kaisen season 2 and the movie AND CHAINSAW MAN
Zombieland saga is also my favorite anime from mappa, I mean, the humor, the tears that was brought into that show
I was really afraid you wouldn't mention Shaft studio lol Madoka supremacy!
Durarara getting some love out here, I like to see it!
Man's pissed half of his fanbase with the last sentence lmao
I'm sorry but I don't see T-Rex, MS picture, or Pink Pineapple anywhere on the tier list, are they lost?
Oi, David sound effects is the best among all studios
Yes. Some Vivy & RoK appreciation👏🏻
what is Rok
Idk why, some of the tier-ing i don't agree with but for some reason i ain't mad instead i laugh
Fun fact: the first ever show WIT studio started with is attack on titan and some another anime.
Drip is looking nice this time. Also Durarara goes hard for sure.
Time to cancel youtube for not notifying me that this video dropped
A1 Pictures is doing *Solo Leveling* now!!
I'm giving you a chance to put my darling,ufotable,back where it belongs,s tier. This is your redemption arc,dont miss it.
Noo
The above studios are better
@@XDGamer88 studio ghibli have fluid animation ..but...decent..lightings and not that good in making cinematic atmosphere...but it's. S TIER.
UFOTABLE is the peak of anime production...
Thats pretty disrespectful.
@@jelly-kun2065 everything you Said is bs
Ghibli clears ufotable and no the animation fro. Ufotable us 3d effects and composition not sakuga and even that
Is surpassed by ghibli
@@jelly-kun2065 bruh besides fate series and devil killer ufotable barely has anu entry that would make them goated i think ufotable make games tho so theres that, and honestly garden of sinners is better than tanjiro kun and friends.
@@chasse-nigb3r bruh mappa and other studios takes great manga then they animated it just great...
Ufotable took a not so good demon slayer manga then made it 1 of the most popular anime right now....
Thats what an S tier studio do.
if Yoko from Gurren Lagann had her own spinoff show as a high school teen, it would be called Kill la Kill
Im glad you dont go for the trend and give an honest review
Did David pro make soul eater and fire force?
the fact that studio bones and wit and ig(prolly ig should b like a or b cuz theyre the parent studio and good animation) aint s tier disturbs me a bit xD
IM SO HAPPY HE ADDED STUDIO GHIBLI
I hope A1 Pictures will take their time animating Solo Leveling
Just a fighting anime
so how's the Gintama watch goin?
Dame always does us JoJo fans dirty man. Still love u tho🥲
A1 pictures is doing Solo leveling i am so excited about it and hope they make it fire
Shaft and trigger are goat for their unique art
