TIL watching anime with a studio appreciation lens changes everything

I started paying attention to which studio made each show about 6 months ago after seeing the difference between Madhouse's Frieren and something from a lower budget studio. The animation quality, color palettes, and even pacing felt totally different once I started checking the studio before pressing play. Has anyone else tried this and found a specific studio that always delivers or one you now skip?

Wait, do you mean I'm supposed to actually pay attention to which studio makes a show instead of just picking whatever has the prettiest thumbnail on Crunchyroll? lol. I swear I've been out here thinking I just had bad taste when a show looked choppy, turns out it might just be a studio I should have skipped. Started noticing it with Ufotable's Demon Slayer though, like holy crap the difference between that and something from Deen is actually night and day, makes me feel like a fraud for not noticing sooner lmao.

WaIT hold on, Deen made some REALLY good shows too though.
