On the other hand, look at SHAFT, often pretty low quality, but very artistic. Though they've been improving a lot of late.

Got an example?
@outofxzero: Hyouka I'll give you but K-On less otaku oriented? Granted it isn't constantly referencing otaku stuff, but it seems pretty damn targetted with moe otaku heavily in mind. Now I'm sure somebody will come tearing in here and quote me some sales statistics and try to illustrate how they show it must have appealed more broadly but frankly I just don't see it. In fact I'd argue that Hyouka boring as I find it feels like the first attempt by Kyoani since Second Raid to reach out beyond their moe otaku base.
