My favorite studio, but times have changed, the shaft exodus brought a lot of new blood to other studios that make more bold decisions with their art design compare to before, and now that we are in (((current year))), fanservice has been almost eradicated from the industry, and it was one of shaft's strong suits, so they were among those who were neutered the hardest, and to top it off while Gatari and Madoka are among their best works, their huge success takes up a lot of their budget and time, not letting them make as many diverse shows as they used to. So while i still enjoy their stuff, their golden days are long gone, not that they cant still make something great every other year or so, ninkoro is probably my AOTY after all.

my top 10 shaft shows
>1 - monogatari (series)
>2 - hidamari sketch
>3 - madoka (just season 1 and rebellion)
>4 - pani poni dash
>5 - arakawa
>6 - SZS
>7 - 3gatsu
>8 - denpa onna
>9 - Ninkoro
>10 - Popotan
