[[http://www.gonzo.co.jp/ GONZO]] was established on February 11, 1992, when producer Shouji Murahama left Creator/StudioGainax to found his own company along with animators Mahiro Maeda and Shinji Higuchi, and screenwriter Hiroshi Yamaguchi. The name likely refers to 'GonzoJournalism' (as opposed to [[Series/TheMuppetShow the Muppet]]), in which a subjective point of view is used to convey a message.

Their unrestrained flamboyance eventually took its toll, as a string of unpopular/unsuccessful adaptations forced them to [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/02/13/gonzo-set-to-fire-75-of-employees/ sack 75% of their staff]]. Already in such dire financial straits, [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/11/27/gonzo-stripped-of-strike-witches-season-2/ their death as a company seemed all but assured by late 2009, having lost the rights to produce the second season]] of ''Manga/StrikeWitches'' to Creator/{{AIC}}. This caused many of GONZO's Studio No. 5 staff members, led by Tomonori Shibata, to leave the company and [[StartMyOwn form their own production company]] Creator/StudioGokumi. At the same time, they sold off their CGI division (Digimation) to editing company Q-Tec, who renamed it {{Creator/Graphinica}}.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** In the wake of Gonzo's near-bankruptcy, Tomonori Shibata left the studio and formed Creator/StudioGokumi, taking the rest of Studio No. 5's staff with him.
** Taito Okiura and Koji Kajita established Creator/DavidProduction in 2007 through similar means.
