Asahi Production



Asahi Production is a prolific Japanese animation studio from the 1970s. The Company's main aspect is Photography services.

A satellite studio of theirs in Miyagi was affected in the earthquake that hit Japan on March 2011.

See also Trans Arts, another Japanese studio that also specializes mostly in Photography for Anime.

NOTE: Much like many other animation studios with extremely long credit lists, this won't have a complete show list.
