Studio DEEN



Studio DEEN, one of the oldest active anime studios, was established in 1975 by members of Sunrise. This has led to collaboration between the two companies in their works and to this day Studio DEEN can be found in the credit listing of Sunrise anime. They are one of the more prolific anime studios and as a result often have budget constraints.

Tropes found in Studio DEEN's work:

 * Animation Bump: Occasionally, like all studios. But especially in their films.
 * Off-Model: Weiss Kreuz is generally considered one of the studio's worst-animated shows.
 * Ginga Densetsu Weed's amount of Off-Model is practically legendary among the fandom.
 * Painfully obvious in Axis Powers Hetalia. Observe.
