Graphinica👁 Image
(グラフィニカ) is a Japanese animation studio that largely specializes in CG, compositing, animation and post-production services. It was founded on April 30, 2009 after GONZO sold its CGI division to Q Tec.

In 2017, they acquired👁 Image
the animation department of TYO, reinstating the Yumeta Company moniker for the company. At the same time, animators from the studio would help form ENGI with Kadokawa, Ultra Super Pictures and Sega Sammy Holdings; while animator Tsukasa Sakurai would go on to form Tsumugi Akita Anime Lab. In 2023, they, along with other companies including Toei Animation, MAPPA and Samurai Pictures, would help establish the Anime Blender Explorers, a group dedicated to utilizing the Blender Foundation's software in future anime productions. The first of their contributions, an add-on for the software, would be revealed the following year.

For more credits from the company, see their ANN pages here👁 Image
