Bibury Animation Studios G.K. (Japanese: 合同会社バイブリーアニメーションスタジオ, Hepburn: Gōdō-gaisha Baiburī Animēshon Sutajio) is a Japanese animation studio founded on May 1, 2017.
Bibury Animation Studios was founded on May 1, 2017[2] by Motoki "Tensho" Tanaka, an animation director and director of Kin-iro Mosaic, the Grisaia series, and Rewrite, both for the animation component of the visual novel while working for White Fox and later for the anime by 8-Bit. For the first two years of the company's existence, the studio worked solely as a sub-contracting studio, providing mostly in-between and 2nd key animation services. In 2019, the studio produced its first major work, Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation, directed by studio founder Tensho (who directed previous installments of the series), and in the same year, its first television series, Azur Lane: The Animation.
It has a sister studio, Bibury Animation CG, which provides 3DCG animation and designs as an outsourcing company for other studios, including Bibury itself.[3]
