Otaku Evolution Episode 261 – Favorite Anime Studios

Look, I’m going to level with you. I’ve been terribly sick and depressed for the past month. Especially sick the past week or so. It’s been harder to get into the holiday joy mood this year than usual. I’m not a hopeless case, I don’t think, it’s just been a pain to get motivated to do anything. Fortunately, I did a lot of this video ahead of time.

As far as the video is concerned, while it is short, I’m rather pleased with it. I liked looking at the different anime studios that made a lot of my favorite anime. I didn’t have time to do honorary mentions this time out, but pay attention to studios like MAPPA, Khara, Trigger, and Science Saru. read more
