Ode to Anime Studios – Silver Link/Connect

Found another weird situation where you can’t really separate one studio from the other…( Silver Link is one of those studios I don’t have much experience with, but while I roam around, from time to time I become aware of that name, so my knowledge of it and its work is neither here nor there....

Ode to Anime Studios – Kinema Citrus

Another day, another anime studio based in Suginami… (…did I use that pre-cut line before?) Kinema Citrus is a relatively recent anime studio having started in 2008 – March 3rd of that year, to be precise. These days (they got bought out, but the managing director Muneki Ogasawara still has a big stake in things),...

Ode to Anime Studios – White Fox

This studio was founded by Gaku Iwasa in April 2007 (White Fox 1999). It’s based in Suginami (White Fox 1999), like many other studios. Previously, it was a spun-off studio from OLM and in turn, it created Studio Bind…(so now you know who’s responsible for the gorgeous animation in this season’s Mushoku Tensei, in a...

Ode to Anime Studios: Studio Colorido

This studio's a fairly young one, but it's been making some waves lately. Studio Colorido was founded by Hideo Uda, who worked on Evangelion and Saikano, on the 22nd of August 2011 (Studio Colorido 2020). Technically, they debuted with a set of advertisements/short videos, but their true debut can be considered to be Typhoon Noruda...

Ode to Anime Studios – Lidenfilms

Another day, another anime studio based in Suginami… Lidenfilms was founded in the February of 2012. Although their romaji name is plural, the katakana give its name in the singular…which is a bit weird. On top of that, if the katakana is anything to go by, it’s pronounced “Raidenfilm”…meaning I’ve been pronouncing it wrong (i.e....

Ode to Anime Studios – PA Works

Appare-Ranman knocked my socks off and this studio is busy with Kamisama ni Natta Hi this season anyway, so it's a good time for a look-see... PA Works was started on November 10th 2000 by Kenji Horikawa (PA Works 2019)...heck that would make it about 20 years old as I put this post out! Geesh,...

Ode to Anime Studios – NAZ

To be honest, I kept putting this studio off for this post series because I don’t have much information to go off… This is one of those instances where the studio is known under several names – the company website doesn’t refer to itself as “NAZ”, but rather “Anima & Company” (even in the URL,...

Ode to Anime Studios – Trigger

This is the 2nd studio from the order that was decided by the readers. Trigger is a fairly young studio, having started in 2012 (Minto 2018), and are known for their staff, which are a pack which formed out of the vacuum left by Hideaki Anno at Gainax circa 2006 (Minto 2018). You might know...

Ode to Anime Studios – Gainax

Thanks to everyone who voted in that poll I ran. I’m not sure if you noticed the poll on the previous Ode post took precedence, but Gainax had the 2nd place position on the Twitter poll anyway. If you wanted to know (or didn’t see the Must-read Monthly Monday for this month), Trigger was the...

Ode to Anime Studios – David Production

Well, I’ve seen a few things from this studio…but I don’t actually know much about them, aside from their reputation with the Jojo series. With the anime marathon adding Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 1 to my list, that means I’ve at least sampled Cells at Work, Fire Force, Ensemble Stars, Sagrada Reset, Book of Bantorra...
