And while the plot left something to be desired in the Fate/Apocrypha saga, production house A-1 Pictures did a phenomenal job imitating ufotable's animation style and maintaining the dark grittiness in the feel of the show.įate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works is a masterpiece of animation and storytelling led by production house ufotable.įate/Zero tells the prequel story to Fate/Stay Night in stunning fashion.Īnd then there's SHAFT, which is known and renowned for its quirky character tics, off-beat perspective angles, flat textures, unrealistic set pieces, wild over-the-shoulder head tilts, flashy text frames, fast jump cuts, and off-the-wall character interactions. This is EXACTLY why SHAFT was the ONLY production house that could bring the famed Monogatari Series to life. Their work on Monogatari was absolutely BRILLIANT, partly because of their style, but more so because their style meshed PERFECTLY with the quirky characters and ridiculous banter for which the Monogatari series is known. ![]() Seeing Nisioisin's writing paired with SHAFT's production style was a pure comedic/heartwarming anime gold.īakemonogatari makes use of SHAFT's distinctive style to capitalize on the characters' wacky personalities. ![]()
