Wow... didnt know that One Punch Man is basically just Studio Bones using Madhouse resources. Lmao. No wonder Mob Psycho 100 is soo great.

[@arcverson4963]

No. That's complete BS. there are only 2 staff from Bones that worked on OPM. In fact, OPM had more actual in-house madhouse staff than Mob 100 had in-house Bones staff.

[@mulanomula]

@@arcverson4963 they had a lot of free lancers, brought in by the amazin shingo natsume (in-house director at madhouse). Most weren't at all in-house, they were just talented af and OPM had an average budget so this was just a passion project among colleagues and friends.

[@arcverson4963]

@@mulanomula Yes they had a lot of free lancers, just like literally every other anime that isn't made by KyoAni or Ufotable. So why not show the same energy to Bones or Wit for example who use freelancers as well?

Pretty interesting stuff, I'm hoping OPM's success will help Madhouse make more great anime again. EDIT: I'm aware OPM season 2 ended up being made by J.C Staff.

[@mopna9773]

+RogerSmith2004 I think it sold 8k DVD+BD first volume first week. So, they should have made some profit from it. In addition, ONE, creator of the original web comic, stated that he will push towards towards a second season. Therefore, the conditions are pretty good.

[@RogerSmith2004]

MurderofPhoenixes NA Yeah, I'm not really worried about the series getting a second season, I've just noticed that usually an increase in sales usually allows for more creative freedom. Hence the Golden Era of anime being put forth during times of economic prosperity.

[@icedragon4008]

+MurderofPhoenixes NA it sold 11k

[@jeremiahgottwald3516]

+Vetro One Punch Man is huge in Japan, it's first and 2nd manga volumes have each sold over a million copies and overall averages 700-800k per volume, the anime sold 11k which is pretty great in terms of sales. OPM was also listed as 24 in top selling media franchises in Japan (FYI the anime sales were not counted in this and it beat detective conan, just to show some perspective). It is definitely equal if not more popular in japan. Also the original web manga also gets millions of hits. BTW not that big of a fan OPM, Just wanted to let you know.

[@iconiclit8945]

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

I'd have to say Madhouse is easily my favorite animation studio. When most think of the greatest anime of all time, Madhouse is undeniably prominent. This video was very intriguing and definitely well researched like your other videos. I'd love to see you make a similar video about studio Ufotable. I think they're an interesting company and despite not having nearly the same level of history compared to Madhouse, I believe that you'll be able to bring to our attention interesting facts about the company worth discussing.

[@JTricksReviews]

+ShintaiReviews Honestly, I hesitated to watch this video because I'm a big Madhouse fanboy and thought it was going to be a baseless video bashing them. Agree with all your points and would love to see Ufotable done as well.

I dont consider Madhouse to really have "fallen" as you say, perhaps declined a bit but certainly not down for the count. I still enjoy the shows they put out and they seem to be well-received overall.

[@TheCanipaEffect]

+firstlightrevan Oh, the "fall" I was referring to was more internal. Externally in terms of output, yeah, not really a fall there. Just a bit of bumps and a huge reduction in original stuff.

[@serenity8561]

The Canipa Effect Understood. NGNL and "The Irregular at magic high" are pretty high on my list, so still like their stuff even if they are just adaptations.

[@ahmedsalar9016]

RevanTheGray they don't make second seasons anymore I'd consider that a fall

[@bentheechidna]

It was a great joke that they didn't make second seasons for Light Novel adaptations, but they literally announced Overlord Season 2 in March.

[@Frozenkex]

+the canipa effect Huge reduction in original stuff isn't necessarily due to change in staff but change in the times. There is more demand for adaptations nowadays and it's probably more economically feasible anyway. Also originality doesn't necessarily make for better or more enjoyable anime.

Studio Madhouse isn't just my favorite studio, but I just really love it altogether. Every once in a while I discover a BANGER anime and realize that it was made by Madhouse. And I didn't know that so many great directors and animators were orginally all part of Madhouse. This video about the fall of the studio that I love so damn much, really broke my heart. I cannot express this enough but I really, really hope that one day Madhouse will be a crazy big powerhouse that cranks out amazingly directed and animated anime again. I really do hope so.

[@joiboya]

I also dearly hope the same but after the departure of Masao Maruyama,my hope getting shallow WIT,Trigger,Bones,and now Cloverworks are making original anime hits by gathering talented passionate peeps while I ain't seeing the same for current Madhouse who used to do the same back at its prime Don't know what to expect from this year Madhouse's two anime,SonnyBoy and The Vampire Dies In No Time.. ain't seeing a single one talking about their current projects since all the talks are now going on is of its successor MAPPA who's producing anime back to back and getting declared as the best studio or something by the 'clowns'

[@lordtraxroy]

Well mappa is the successor of madhouse

[@agellidmalik]

Well, the thing that made Madhouse unique was that they were full of passion and always had unique ways of direction and writing, they saw making anime as art and something to be enjoyed. Whereas MAPPA just overworks the staff, has a single director who basically directs every single one of their anime and accepts every job offer by sponsors; basically seeing anime as a job and not as art and passion. I think the difference between the two is quite noticable, especially if you look at what they adapt into anime.

[@jonathan6935]

Madhouses studio Redline movie is the greatest animation flex of all time they make an statement forever

[@Teejjuh]

I knew there was something different with the studio, it just felt different. So thank you for informing me about the situation. However I do not think that Madhouse can ever be "RESTORED" but rather "REBORN" to something great! "Restoration" would mean that the studio would be have the same members as in the past at the same quality. Although I would be happy as a fan, that is unlikely to happen. Instead I would think of it as a "rebirth," as chance to become new, fresh, and a chance to give some of the underdog animators/directors the limelight. I agree that the current Madhouse, as a production studio, is a "shadow of its former self," but with their new staff I believe that they can take the name one step further. They are currently in their "baby" phase learning how to walk again and they have big shoes to fill, due to their past history. But that idea pushes the new team to make something better, to make something different, something original, something AMAZING! Although its their experimenting phase, so there will be a lot of hit or misses. I believe that not only will they be able to restore their former name, they will be able to push beyond that and take the standard higher! And if I'm wrong... well then... Bite me right in the Ass!

Agree. Sonny boy is a creative work, it's weird and hard to understand but it really encapsulates the work that Madhouse has done in their prime. With creators just doing what they love. Shingo Natsume directed Sonny Boy btw. Most of the great works by them from the last few years were directed by Shingo Natsume. I honestly think Madhouse should invest with him more.

+Zayd Gh And then directed that god awful God Eater.

[@ZaydGh]

Z4kCNR187 true, tho I think that the biggest issue with God Eater is the script, visually I liked it, Hirao is a pretty good director. He did a great job with bringing Nasu's writing to live Kara no Kyoukai 5, if they only hired a better scriptwriter for the GE anime.... Tho his worst work is Gyo, it was creepy and disturbing thanks to him but the flow of the story and the character interactions were just horrible.

As for Darker Than Black, it had a decent run( sadly I haven't gotten to the manga), but there's one other thing, THEY END IT. So the anime didn't end the manga way. At least its not some messed up cliffhanger at the end and have to what 2-3 Years for a bloody sequel( in which 75% on anime's never do) and that includes Madhouse. For bones they take what they can get from what they have made AT LEAST an end that satisfy the watcher. Also what about the other anime they didn't "fuck up"

Going through the list of anime they've done, and I really didn't know they had done so many good shows. But while they may not be as good as they used to be, they did several good shows last year, so hopefully that's a sign of things to come from them.

I was just listening to The Girl in Bakkaguya so when the song kicked in, I was amazed.

Great video! A history of Toei video would be really nice.

Very interesting, thank you! Surprised Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D were not mentioned, those were huge back in da day.

When you realize Madhouse created all those big masterpieces
