The amount of time you hear people discrediting a series because "it is by Gonzo" is rather dumb because, imo, series should be treated for what they are rather than the attachment it has.
So yea, you are right...but unlike Sunrise (who specialise in Mecha) or Kyoani (who specialise in moe), Gonzo is pretty much a hybrid company who isn't doing so well compared to others.

Your ability to enjoy a series is different to the evaluation of the show in general, those shows I've listed are interested and I do enjoy some of them but they're not outstanding by any means.
Again I disagree, Gonzo can produce awesomely insane anime like Last Exile, Gankutsuou and Vandread.
Gonzo being a hybrid studio might be true to an extent but the large majority of their profits come from overseas license and royalty received. With the declining fall in the demand for anime Dvd internationally it isn't any coincidence its happening. The state of the R1 industry can be seen through Genon, ADV films and BVUS.
To a larger extent this is going to have a larger effect than people think, Their youtube/CR/AnimeBOST could be seen as a fail concept if they become insolvent/delisted. I dare to say we (us fans) won't be seeing anymore legal sub anime on youtube and tougher restriction will be place on anime/raw sharing. Beside that the industry will be more focus on producing more moe and fanservice to meet demands rather than producing anything of quality, let’s take kurenai for an example. Its first volume sales figure should be interesting but I have doubt it will top any fanservice anime.
Again, are people really satisfy with having less anime to watch? I know a majority have a dislike for Gonzo but anime is a form of entertainment, you're allowed to freely choose what you watch and most of us here watch anime for "Free" fansubs ectera.
