One of my favourite animation studios in Japan. I recently watched Kurau Phantom Memory, one of their many underrated titles. I will say, I do think the 00s were their golden age. They still make plenty of good shows now, but more of it is adaptations rather than original content.

I love most of bones works but the opening episodes of Rouge had so little meat to it that I had no motivation to continue.

I've always been an unapologetic BONES fan (in terms of animation and aesthetics) and has found it odd to see a lot of people online completely dissing BONES in favor of hotter studios in recent years like UFOTable and Mappa because of how they apparently botched My Hero Academia season 6. Unfortunately, I put MHA on-hold because I got tired of the story, so have zero idea what they were talking about.

If anything it was season 4 of MHA that got really dissed for the pacing issues and some animation troubles, in particular with Mirio's second half of his fight and the first half of Deku vs Overhaul before the 2nd episode.
Season 5's darkness received some negative feedback (myself included) but was considered largely a return to form before the sheer scale of season 6. Although some people did dislike the amount of time spent on the class a vs class b segment of season 5.
You know what my dream Bones project is? One Punch Man, Web Comic edition. Following Ones style of comedy and pacing. And given the story pivot the manga took after the content of season 1 of One Punch Man, it would make a good alternative story.

It's amazing Mob Psycho 100 ended up being more successful than One Punch Man. Bones took well care of the IP and handled three seasons while staying true to the mangaka's style while One Punch Man was scrapped by Madhouse or something

I think you got season 4 and 5 swapped, because S5 is still largely considered the worst season by a lot of people.

Hmm I did not want this discussion to be about what I said. I can only say what I saw: that a bunch of people where praising season 5's My Villian Academia as a return to form for MHA. Especially in comparison to overhaul and the culture festival. I had some differing opinions but that is what I encountered.

Yeah apologies, I wouldn't really know whether it was S4, S5 or S6 because I dropped it in the middle of Season 4 and didn't participate in any discussions of MHA in general. I just heard these rumors in forums outside of ANN recently and it's some Season x of MHA which I must have totally mixed up. But I guess it stands that people were criticizing BONES for their work on MHA, while they were putting out stuff like Mob Psycho 100 and Case Study of Vanitas at around the same time.
Though to be fair, BONES has multiple production lines and MHA is on a separate one from their other shows so understandably the quality would vary. But to dismiss the entire studio and their history for mishaps on a show that isn't even a flop by any means (otherwise would it go on for this long?)...well, I guess it's par for the course for anime fans

there's other anime studios that could produce OPM since i don't think bones will be able to do it with how much they're focused on original anime with also not forgetting they have enough already adaptations.

What other anime studios would these be? Because every other "big" studio that could realistically pull off something along the lines of S1 is also booked in their own ways.
