I disagree with You... if you miss the First CLANNAD you're lossing the development of some characters and some great comedy scenes thans to Sunohara and Tomoyo XD

I recommendo BOTHS and Angel beats too... I just Cryied at the ending and on some parts... and the OVA is JUST funny XD

Now that I remember, i Watched Toradora, Angel beats and CLANNAD After Story "on-going" while were being transmited.. a chapter each week.. and that's how Ussually I see anime... I don't like so much Anime Marathon.. I like to taste fresh anime XD

I try it every time, but after 3-4 episodes I start watching them on the internet and in less than a week finish the whole series. The only anime I watched weekly was FMA Brotherhood, which was still in development when I started (and it was an agony waiting a full week at the last 10 episodes!!).

Hummm... thinking about Kyo Ani made me thing which actually is my favourite studio...

So what are your favourite anime studios?

Mine probably is Kyo Ani, followed by SHAFT and J.C. Staff (though JCS has a lot of crapy anime too... while I can't think about a bad one from SHAFT)

Anybody watching Kyousogiga? Is that any good?

My top three studios are Shaft, Gainex and Brains Base.

hmm... help me out here... I know Gainax has some awesome shows but right now the studio won't link to any anime...

Also, I probably have to replace J.C. Staff with Studio Ghibli in my Top 3, totally forgot about them^^

Humm... well I knew about Tengen Toppa, but somehow I missed that they have made Panty & Stocking and FLCL... I should just go kill myself (but Ghibli and SHAFT are still better) an I think I do not need to discuss Kyo Ani, they are just pure awesome...

My favorites Studios are: Shaft, GAINAX and SUNRISE... KyoAni was my top until they did the Endless Eight on haruhi second Season... they lose all my respect...¬¬

Recently J.CStaff is doing very good series... the animation quality isn´t so regular some times... Just compare Railgun with Index second season and You can see what I tell...

Those never existed *lalalalalalala*

In general I think the whole Index I - Railgun - Index II has a lot of jumps in quality...

I care even wich seiyuu do the character's voices... but I don't go any deeper like: Director, producer, etc... except for Ghibli...XP

BTW: GHIBLI are the gods of the Animation XD My Top3 is Below god..XD
