Is Studio ufotable Only Popular Because of Fate and Demon Slayer?

What happened on the Genshin Impact project they were working on?

Summary:

  • Fans often bring up ufotable as a perfect studio to adapt action series, but struggle to name series by them other than Demon Slayer and Fate.
  • They had multiple other works over the years.
  • However, most of them aren't that famous, especially compared to their two biggest hits.

ufotable is an anime studio that is famous for their high-quality animation. When it comes to adaptations of action manga, fans often bring the studio up: while they are not as big as MAPPA, they are still among the fan favorites for their trademark use of special effects and high-quality visuals in general.

Some otaku even joke about "Demon Slayer treatment", which refers to a high-profile studio adapting a manga and elevating its popularity because of how great the visuals of the adaptation are.

The origin of that term is Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) getting adapted by ufotable, which significantly boosted its popularity. Curiously enough, there aren't other examples where this applies to ufotable studio specifically — which makes fans wonder what makes them so popular anyways.

What did ufotable work on?

The definite biggest successes of ufotable are Demon Slayer and the Fate franchise. In fact, the latter was arguably what made them famous in the first place: their top-notch work on Fate/Zero was what made them famous — and so, they proceeded to adapt a few other Fate works.

Interestingly enough, before Fate/Zero, ufotable adapted The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai), a series of light novels by Kinoko Nasu, the author of the Fate franchise. They are a part of the Nasuverse — a combined term for all the Nasu works — and share one minor character with Fate/Zero.

Other works by the studio

Of course, even before The Garden of Sinners, ufotable had multiple works. Older fans may remember series like Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! and Futakoi Alternative. Before they switched to their now-famous animation style with a ton of special effects, one of their older trademarks was using puppets in ending sequences. Sadly, we don't really see them doing this anymore.

In general, though, they have way more works than some fans initially expect. ufotable was responsible for game adaptations like God Eater and Tales of Zestiria the X. They also made the concept trailer for the upcoming Genshin Impact anime project — though with how little news we have heard about that recently, it remains a question whether it will actually be made.

ufotable is mostly famous for its two biggest series

Overall, the two biggest IPs for ufotable are definitely Fate and Demon Slayer. If you aren't too deep into anime, you might struggle to name more. However, more experienced otaku would definitely be able to remember at least some of their other series.
