Brief History:
Madhouse Inc. (stylized as MADHOUSE; Japanese: 株式会社マッドハウス, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Maddohausu) is a Japanese animation
studio founded in 1972 by ex–Mushi Pro animators,
including Masao Maruyama, Osamu Dezaki, Rintaro
and Yoshiaki Kawajiri.
Madhouse has created and helped to produce many well-known shows, OVAs
and films, starting with TV anime series Ace o Nerae! (produced by Tokyo Movie)
in 1973, and including Wicked City, Ninja Scroll, Perfect Blue,
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Trigun, Di Gi Charat, Black Lagoon,
Death Note, Paprika, Wolf Children, Parasyte: The Maxim and the first season
of One-Punch Man. Unlike other studios founded at this time such as AIC and J.C.Staff,
their strength was and is primarily in TV shows and theatrical features. Expanding
from the initial Mushi Pro staff, Madhouse recruited important directors such as
Morio Asaka, Masayuki Kojima, and Satoshi Kon during the 1990s. Their staff roster
expanded in the 2000s to include Mamoru Hosoda, Takeshi Koike, and Mitsuo Iso, as
well as many younger television directors. The studio was also responsible for the
first Beyblade anime
series as well as the Dragon Drive anime and the 2011 anime
adaptation of Hunter × Hunter.

Ryne's Take:
Madhouse is one of the legendary studios in Japan. Legendary in the sense that they have helped produce and made many of the classic anime and animated movies in the last three decades.
Over the years they have made amazing stand out shows in almost every genre.
Personally whenever I see an ad for a new anime and see the Madhouse logo
(in the same sense of me seeing the Trigger logo) I know I have to add
it to my list of shows to watch. What is amazing about their works is
that if one show does not pull your interest they have probably
adapted another show in another genre that might be your new favorite.
In addition to amazing anime tv-shows, they have made amazing animated movies. Satoshi Kon,
in the animated movie world, is seen as a giant. His famous works of Paprika and Perfect Blue
are seen as classics of the animated movie world. Madhouse is a remarkable studio which has a
huge impact on the animation world.
