russell:
personally Im a massive fan of:

Gainax
I.G.
Studio 4°C
Ufotable

and of course, ghibli.


are there any others that are worth watching just for the animation?  I particularly like the modern digital techniques, flares, blurs, enhanced colours, 3D and of course, fluid action

It's not just studios, it also involves artists as they don't always come from those producers and also the time frame of development they've invested in the project.

P.A.Works
Silver Link
MADHouse

And there are several others like Production I.G., CoMix, Wit Studios (part of Production I.G. and they're first animation production is Attack on Titan) and there are other several ecchi and hentai animation producers that I cannot recall - David Productions, Hoods Entertainment, Seven.

Honestly you gotta look over the Chief Animators and the assistants, those play a major key role before you look at the animation producers.

Forgot to mention, Satelite and 8-bit.

I'm actually a big fan of Sunrise. Some people don't like how they're kinda known for having happy endings but I really like things being able to end on a happy note. Really brightens up my day rather than leaving me in gloom for weeks like some horribly sad endings can do. I still nearly tear up whenever I hear "Hey, Nana..." which was from one of Madhouse's works (NANA). They also have a notoriously bad ending with their most popular work...

Sooo.. Madhouse - very good animes, but generally have shitty depressing endings. As such, I love them but hate their endings. Some don't have bad endings though, like Black Lagoon.

Production I.G. is pretty good. No real complaints to be had there. They just put out some nice quality stuff like Ghost in the Shell.

I liked Hellsing and I think that was Gonzo, but didn't they go out of business or something?

Anyways, I seem to recall the names Gainax and Bones but I don't recall anything they made off hand.

I hate Studio Ghibli. A lot of people would want to string me up for it, but yeah... Ghibli stuff is just meh to me. Princess Mononoke was okay, but just okay. Sprited Away was like it was made for toddlers and kids 5 below. And hey, I can enjoy a good Disney cartoon but Spirited Away was just too much. It was like watching Teletubbies or something. Grave of the Fireflies was just boring. Overall.. they're way overhyped well beyond any kind of hype any studio should have. It's almost like a Ghibli cult or something.

edit: Like this freakin' OP for instance... "and of course, ghibli" as if it's a given and there's nobody out there that doesn't like them.  :-\

They were one of the companies involved in the animation of Hellsing TV, not Ultimate. They had really tough times, got de-listed from the stock exchange and had to fire a bunch of people, etc., but have recovered somewhat.

Bones is great studio.

Not gonna comment on those Ghibli things  ;)
