History YMMV / WhiteFox

* AudienceAlienatingEra: A lot of anime fans saw potential in the studio for their work on ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' and ''Literature/{{Katanagatari}}''. However in 2014, many fans began losing interest in the studio after ''Anime/SuperSonico'' was universally panned and the disastrous GeckoEnding for ''Manga/AkameGaKill''. Only worsened in 2015 when ''VideoGame/UtawarerumonoItsuwariNoKamen'' ended up being a disappointment especially among fans of the original anime. Many seem to agree they began recovering with ''Literature/ReZero'', though those who watched ''Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit'' will tell you that they actually did have one solid show in that time period.

** The studio got a lot of criticism for ''Anime/SuperSonico'', the GeckoEnding of ''Manga/AkameGaKill'', and ''VideoGame/UtawarerumonoItsuwariNoKamen''. Thankfully however, ''Literature/ReZero'' has met the same level of acclaim as ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' and ''Literature/{{Katanagatari}}'' with a lot of people seeing it as a return to form for the studio.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' and ''Literature/{{Katanagatari}}'' touch upon fairly serious themes but are considered some of the best recent anime. ''Literature/ReZero'' has also been getting a lot of praise as of recently in spite of its darker elements.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: A lot of anime fans saw potential in the studio for their work on ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' and ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}''. However in 2014, many fans began losing interest in the studio after ''Anime/SuperSonico'' was universally panned and the disastrous GeckoEnding for ''Manga/AkameGaKill''. Only worsened in 2015 when ''VideoGame/UtawarerumonoItsuwariNoKamen'' ended up being a disappointment especially among fans of the original anime.

* EvenBetterSequel: With shows like ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'', ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}'', ''LightNovel/ReZero'', and ''LightNovel/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'' they can be considered this to Oriential Light and Magic, the studio of which most of the employees come from.

* MaturityIsSeriousBusiness: If it's not this is not their moe-show, expect an almost complete absence of any vulgarity, silly humor or funny happening on the screen. In particular, LightNovel/ReZero has a whole series of episodes, during which Subaru is [[AngstComa absorbed in insanity and does not react to stimuli]].

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Many of their shows border on DarkerAndEdgier but they generally tend to alleviate this trope. ''LightNovel/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'' followed ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' and ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}'' and the second season of ''Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit'' aired between ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' and ''LightNovel/ReZero''. Their upcoming series ''Matoi the Sacred Slayer'' could potentially be one of their LighterAndSofter outings to cool down from ''Re:Zero'' but only time will tell.

** Seem to be doing this for light novel adaptations in general. While many anime fans have not been pleased with the quality of recent light novel adaptations, WHITE FOX has produced some of the better ones in recent years like ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}'', ''LightNovel/ReZero'', and ''LightNovel/TheDevilIsAPartTimer''.

** ...aaand then you have ''Manga/GirlsLastTour'', whose protagonists (thanks to [[Creator/{{Tsukumizu}} Tkmiz]]'s [[SignatureStyle signature art style]]) are often referred to as '''potatoes'''.

* {{Moe}}: Not really this studio's thing but there is ''Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit''. Though most of their shows usually have a token moe character.

* PlayingAgainstType: ''Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit'' being a lighthearted moe anime in contrast to the DarkerAndEdgier shows that they have become well-known for putting out.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: ''Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit'' was yet another {{Moe]} anime that no one was really looking forward to and most fans had chosen to skip out on.
