I think another example of a quirk could be when an anime sometimes has the
same thing or idea appearing in many of its series that the studio has
produced.

Is there any other studio that is known for a quirk like how Shaft has its famous head tilt?


One example is Studio Gainax, who are famous for their ['Gainax
Ending'](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GainaxEnding), which
original stems from the Ending of the Neon Genesis Evangellion series.

You can see this in Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, He Is My
Master, Monchromatic, and many other series made by Gainax.

More recently however, Kill la Kill (by Studio Trigger - where many of the
employees are ex-Gainax ones) has one of the protaganists hoping that "Gainax
doesn't screw up the ending"
