K-On!

Extremely low budget

It would have been forgettable season filler trying to rely on stale jokes instead of creating truly endearing characters.

A straightforward adaption of the K-On manga done by Doga Kobo would have been decent, probably fairly popular, but ultimately forgotten and not as good as DK's better adaptions like Yuru Yuri. The manga wasn't as bad as some imply but KyoAni took massive liberties in their adaption that ended up improving the final product.

Dropped

The first season maybe. Umaru, New Game or Gabriel are so generic and safe it's almost disgusting.

Any time you wonder how a show would be if it was another studio instead of Kyoani, the answer is always "it would be worse"

Madoka would've been unwatchable if they'd gotten their fetus hands on it.

Madoka is unwatchable now

Are you kidding? Everything would improve, the only thing that was special were the Inu Curry segments.

They probably wouldn't have cripple fingers and extremely tiny feet anymore but it ultimately wouldn't be quite as good.

S2 of Yuru Yuri was better. But you're right that their recent CGDCT have all been too safe.

It might actually be good

Worse. Might be alright if Ohta directed it though
