GONZO is known for its progressive style, using detailed backgrounds, [[OffModel uneven animation]] and [[ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon large amounts of CG]], as well as a preference for adventure stories. Although their plots and pacing can suffer due to an emphasis on {{Rule of Cool}}, their characters often compensate for this. They often have difficulty ending a series, and their adaptations of existing manga are somewhat infamous.
