Please note that this list considers 2015 anime only, so don't be surprised if some of the most well-respected studios ever don't rank so high.

2015 was an OK year for anime, a lot of studios were competing to produce a high amount of anime. Here are the 25 studios that produced the best anime in terms of quantity and quality.

I do not own the rights to the video footage or songs used in this video, as this goes to its owners. This video does fall under fair use and, though I am not profiting from the upload of this video, I would argue against any potential copyright claim/strike.

Am I missing a studio that you think deserves a place? Then why not ask me about it? I reply to comments :P
