JM Animation
Founded in 1997, JM Animation is a studio in South Korea, mostly known for doing most of Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender (as the early episodes were done by DR Movie, however, JM did outsource Avatar to other Korean studios like Moi Animation and North Korean Studio SEK). They've also been involved in several Anime as a supporting company.
Compare Rough Draft Studios, AKOM, Plus One Animation, DR Movie, Hanho Heung Up, Dong Woo Animation, Sunwoo Entertainment, Saerom and Digital E Mation, other studios in South Korea.

Tropes Associated With JM Animation:
- Animation Bump: JM is nowhere near as good as TMS Entertainment (Despite the outsourcing of Kenichi, Cardfight Vanguard and a few others to them), or even Rough Draft, but they're one of the better studios in South Korea.
