During the 1960s and 1970s when it was A Production Vs Tatsunoko, yes, because stuff like Panda Go Panda and Gamba no Bouken were the exception, not the norm as the norm with A-Pro was stuff like Shin Obake no Q-Taro and Jungle Kurobe, even TMS' red jacket Lupin III over shadowed A-Pro's green jacket Lupin III; Tatsunoko on the other hand had hit after hit with Yatterman, Hutch the Honey Bee and Gatchaman
For the 1960s A Pro was forgettable, the only things out of them that people remember from A-Pro were Moomin'69 for how fuck up it was to the point that they got fired from it and the 1969 Lupin III pilot, as for Tatsunoko people still talk about Speed Racer but not Space Ace, because the Don Bluth laserdisc game over shadowed it.
The 80s on the other hand were two different animals, A-Pro became Shin Ei Doga and became Fujiko F. Fujio's bitch until his death as Crayon Shin-Chan was the only non-Fujiko Pro anime they did until his death and TMS replaced A-Pro with Telecom and outside of their Proto-Ghibli phase between 1978 to 1982 their golden years led by Toshihiko Masuda and Kenji Hachizaki between 1983 (Inspector Gadget) to 2000 (Return of The Joker) were the gold standard of non-feature animation (they also did a third of TMS' Akira and most of Little Nemo as well) that still hasn't been touched to this very day; while Tatsunoko after The Littler Bits became a mecha studio with Macross and a bunch of other unrelated mecha shows that Harmony Gold packaged as *shudders*Robotech*shudders* that lead to the bombing of Zillion which did so bad that the team behind Zillion got laid off and ended up finding their own studio called Production I.G.
The 90s, no contest, Telecom, only note worthy thing Tatsunoko did was Samurai Pizza Cats, a show that the dub is much better then the original, a bunch of 90s Tatsunoko staff who did Taming of The Screwy and Robotnik's Pyramid Scheme for Telecom ended up finding Actus in 1998 but that was it.
