Considering the theme, why not something of Jun and Tatsuya?

Ya know, if Index owns Madhouse and Atlus, I must know why Madhouse isn't making the P3 movie. Man I like Madhouse, I'd love to see them handle the project.

I know, right! After Gainax, MADHOUSE is my favourite animation company. I love Highschool of the--I mean, Summer Wars.
>_>
<_<
^_^
Aniplex has the licensing for Person animated material, and thus picks the animation studio.
Hahahaha! I like HOTD and Summer Wars.
Aniplex is a good studio though. I also like Gainax and Gonzo.
Oh! And KyoAni!
Aniplex is a production and distrubtion company, not the animation studio themselves. The studio is AIC A.S.T.A.
No love for Shaft in here? You monsters.
ouu I like AIC. Hope the movie comes out better quality than the show. They've done some of my favorite shows.
<--- including that one

Ah, you're right. BONES did FMA under them, which is what I was thinking of. Wasn't P4 by A-1 Pictures?
Who, your avatar? That's from Oreimo, right?
SHAFT is p good. Madoka, Soredemo, -monogatari, etc.
I'm disappointed that none of you have realized the good grace of Studio Trigger. Which basically means none of you have seen Little Witch Academia. And you totally should. Like, I'm just saying.
I'm thoroughly convinced that Ufotable (Fate/Zero), KyoAni, and them make up a holy trinity of studios that will save anime.

A-1 Pictures did the animated cut-scenes for the game itself. AIC A.S.T.A did the anime. Madhouse did the new stuff for Golden as well as Persona 4 Arena's animation scenes.
Persona 3's animated sequences were animated by some company called Point Pictures. Persona 3 the movie is AIC A.S.T.A however.
Trinity Soul was A-1 Pictures.
When Ufotable makes an anime adaptation of Heaven's Feel, then I'll consider then the savior of anime.

Haha; HOTD is more of a guilty pleasure for me, while SW is one of my favourite anime-related things ever. It's just sooooooo good!
Speaking of so good, I've been watching Twin Peaks for the first time and it's astounding how much the Persona series draws from it. I love seeing the inspirations for different aspects of the series almost as much as I love the plot itself ^_^
Ditto on HOTD. And yeah, if you like SW track down the first two Digimon movies!
Yeah, this stuff confuses me. Glad you've got it clear. @.@
I've preached LWA in this thread before, and I'm not the only one. I hope they can follow it up with something just as good.
But anime will be fine as long as Gainax KyoAni and Shaft are still around. At least, I'll be fine with it.
Loved Haruhi. KoyAni also did K-on!, which is another of my all time favourites.
Fate/Zero put me to sleep. It took me an entire day to watch episode one, because it's one hell of an info dump. It's supposed to be awesome after that, so I plan on going back to it.

I have seen every Digimon-related piece of animation out there.
:3
EDIT: I've also seen Little Witch Academia. The animation really blew me away; it's such a nice aesthetic.

Shaft is awesome.
Fuck yes
Shut yo mouth. You can't dig it.
Shaft is awesome.
I felt the same about TTGL. Stopped halfway through. Oddly enough the Gainax thin I enjoyed most that wasn't Eva was Hanamaru Kindergarten. It was hilarious.
You should have watched the final arc of Gurren Lagann at least. It's the best part.
So when does Little Witch Academia become a 26-episode TV series? Besides in my dreams....
LOL
I'll pick it back up once I've forgotten most of the story beats so it'll be mildly fresh. My to watch list is becoming unmanageable.
Not soon enough

Ah, that's a shame. TTGL is probably my favourite anime by merit of its energy and music alone.
Screw it; here's my list:
1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
2. Cowboy Bebop
3. Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
4. Trigun
5. Wolf's Rain
6. Digimon Tamers
7. Soul Eater
8. Samurai Champloo
9. Gunbuster
10. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (It was cancelled too soon... T^T)
Movies:
1. Spirited Away
2. Summer Wars
3. Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
4. Gurren Lagann: The Lights in the Sky Are Stars
5. Grave of the Fireflies
I just watched Summer Wars last summer
it was bloody amazing, one of my favorite things ever

When you guys say HOTD, I keep thinking of House of the Dead and go but then I realize and go D:
but then I realize and go D:If you have time, you should consider looking into Hyouka. It's one of KyoAni's most recent works, and I have no trouble saying that it counts as one of their best. It's actually what brought me back into the hobby after being estranged for a good while. It's a ridiculously well-produced, well paced TV series driven by some of the best characterization and development I've seen in an anime in the last five years.
And if you liked Haruhi, the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a really fantastic movie.
I won't blame you too hard, it's very slow to start, but once it gets going (around episode 3?) it really gets going.
It's inevitable. It has to be.
Oh, and if you guys loved Summer Wars and/or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, you should really, really consider looking into Wolf Children. It's the latest movie from Mamoru Hosoda, the director of the two movies. And I make no exaggeration when I say that it's his finest work yet. There's actually on OT hanging around and it's pretty unanimous about its' quality.
The Count needs to be at your number one spot. Just saying.

HOTD has the best plot ever. How can you not love all of that plot the show tosses at you?! Thinking about that plot makes me all giggly and good inside.
Persona 5 could learn a thing or two from HOTD and its...plot.
I can vouch for everything recommended here. Wolf Children is beautiful, Hyouka is very good. Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is fantastic, espically if you're a big fan of the show.
EDIT: A personal recommendation from me would be Madoka Magica. I've seen it 3 times(The show twice and the recap movies in theatres) and it's just amazing.

James go and prevent the confusion in the city > high school of the dead "plot"
I'll have to look that up! I've been meaning to see Dissapearance for a while and I saw Duckroll's Wolf Children OT. Waiting on the dub release in the fall.

I'd like it more if it didn't take as many liberties with the original story (which I studied at length in high school French), but it's still an incredible testament to how awesome you can make an anime's visuals and story.
And as long as I own a signed copy of the Gurren Lagann Best Sound OST, I don't think TTGL's budging from my top spot ;P
Or Persona 5 could be a direct sequel to Persona 4 Arena with Elizabeth as the main character. There's really nothing to indicate one way or the other.
Ugh I HATE HOTD, comically over the top fan service that's always in your face.
Twin Peaks is MASSIVELY popular in Japan, when the show was running they had huge funeral gatherings for one of the characters.
Yeah Persona 4's plot specifically feels very inspired by Twin Peaks, David Lynch is friggn brilliant.
Also you should all definitely was Fate/Zero, easily one of the most well crafted anime ever.

Elizabeth won't be the main character. She'd be absolutely boring as a silent protagonist. Kinda like Maya in EP.
I'd like to think they've learned their lesson after how absolutely stupid the tradition of having a silent protagonist ended up for Maya. There was an interview that stated it was a mistake, I believe, and Aigis as the protagonist in The Answer turned out alright, so maybe it could work.

That was the point.
Lest we forget dear old Deadly Premonition, the most blatantly inspired of them all.

Fate/Zero was fantastic, but my favorite anime remains Serial Experiments Lain. Sailor Moon, El Hazard: The Magnificent World, Bubblegum Crisis(2032, original), and Ranma 1/2 probably round out the list. Madoka Magica shot way up there too.
Oh I know it's intentional, that's what pandering is.
The old builds of Deadly Premonition looked even more like Twin Peaks too.
Any of you getting Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut soon? I can't fucking wait.
Still, Elizabeth would be somewhat boring as a protagonist. She doesn't work well on her own. Part of what makes her so great in P3 and P4A is her reactions to everyone and everything around here.
Hell yeah I am! I actually forgot it was so soon.
