Delve into the roots of ANIMA&COMPANY (NAZ) and witness the visionary tale of its founder, Yasuo Suda. Formerly immersed in a studio specializing in children's anime like Keroro and Mitsudomoe, Suda's passion for anime extended to the likes of AKIRA. Notably, he contributed to the "Megami Tensei Series Devil Survivor 2," showcasing his versatile prowess.
In 2013, fueled by a desire for independence, Suda founded NAZ. The studio's initial ventures included crafting original anime such as "Hamatora" and "Tokunana," alongside adaptations like "Angolmois: Genkō Kassen-ki" and "Infinite Dendrogram."
A driving force behind NAZ's genesis was Suda's unease with the traditional anime production model, heavily reliant on outsourced animators. This concern led to the inception of the innovative "Guild System," fostering in-house anime production—a paradigm shift in the industry.
Elevating NAZ's global acclaim was the release of "ID:INVADED," earning widespread recognition, particularly in Asia. The prestigious NewType Anime Award Sound Award attested to its success. Further solidifying NAZ's influence, a strategic partnership with Netflix opened new frontiers.
"Thermae Romae Novae" stormed Netflix's daily chart, claiming a spot in the top 5. This triumph was followed by the production of "Sabikui Bisco" and the original animation "Rhapsody." The enchanting "Good Night World" secured a spot in Netflix's top 4, underscoring NAZ's storytelling finesse.
As a grand celebration of NAZ's tenth anniversary, the studio unveiled the captivating "Special Kid Factory," epitomizing a decade of creative brilliance.
ANIMA&COMPANY (NAZ) continues to redefine the anime landscape, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation.
