** TigerAndBunny is both an inverted and played-straight example. The show sells ''incredible'' amounts of merchandise (It all [[MemeticMutation sold out in X seconds]]). It's also about corporate-sponsored superheroes - real corporations, mind you - so the show is driven ''by'' the merchandise.

->''"[[MemeticMutation Gee, that Hajime Yatate guy's made a lot of stuff.]]"''

One of the biggest anime makers in all of Japan. If you are thinking "RealRobot", you probably mean Sunrise's production. Between decades-spanning {{Gundam}} franchise and one-shot gems like ''VisionOfEscaflowne'' and ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Sunrise has long since cemented its reputation of one of the HumongousMecha market trend makers. Also, being a subsidiary of Creator/BandaiEntertainment (since 1994), many of its works (the ones involving HumongousMecha, of course) end up in ''SuperRobotWars'' sooner or later.

Several of Sunrise's original series credit "HajimeYatate" as their original creator; that's a collective pseudonym for Sunrise and its animation staff. Yatate is depicted as an actual person in ''GundamSousei'', a comedy ''loosely'' depicting the making of the original ''MobileSuitGundam''. Apparently he's a loudmouth who wears a cowboy hat everywhere. Who knew?

StudioDEEN, StudioBONES, and Creator/{{Manglobe}} were formed by former Sunrise staff members.

They also animated several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' to rather mixed results and eventually became one of the two animation studios -along with Korea's {{AKOM}}- that were taken off the series. Nevertheless, Sunrise later created''Anime/TheBigO'', a ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''-influenced project with a considerably more positive reception in the West.

Sunrise were also responsible for an aborted attempt to create an Americanized Gundam series, long before dubbing any of the actual anime, though nothing was made beyond a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8um1N78AhY rather hilariously misguided pilot]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}''
* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' (Ink & Paint for season one)
* ''WesternAnimation/StreetFighter'' (together with Creator/{{Madhouse}})
* ''WesternAnimation/JayceAndTheWheeledWarriors''

!!Tropes associated with Sunrise:
* AnimationBump: Used often to the point where their animation is referred to as "Sunrise Smooth" to many (unfortunately, [[OffModel it sacrifices consistency]]).
* AssKickingPose: Called the [[FanNickname Brave Perspective]] in Japan due to [[BraveSeries recurring use]], the pose is performed by SwordPointing a {{BFS}} diagonally upwards in [[SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou extreme foreshortening]]. Also known as the Sunrise Stance much like the [[{{Gainax}} Gaina Stance]], it has become [[ShoutOut referenced]] endlessly even in professional works.
* ConspicuousCG: Whenever they use CG, generally speaking, but the examples include shows like CodeGeass, recent Gundam series and KeroroGunsou...'''ESPECIALLY''' ''Keroro Gunsou''. This is largely due to trying to make the models photo-realistic and cartoonish at the same time, with varying degrees of success. Nevertheless, integration has admittedly improved over the years.
* HumongousMecha: The Kings of this trope, at least in the RealRobot genre (though ToeiAnimation was one of the originators).
* {{Mascot}}: While they don't have an official one, one could argue that the [[MobileSuitGundam RX-78 Gundam, Haro]] or Keroro might count.
* MerchandiseDriven: The '''Entire''' Gundam Franchise is built around this trope (The sales of the models actually saved it). Some of their other shows also fall into this category.
* OffModel: This occurs from time to time in several of their anime, especially in the original [[MobileSuitGundam Gundam series]] and its sequels or spin-offs.
** A similar issue the company has become to be noted for is the fact that some of their characters are often given fatter-than-usual fingers in certain scenes (aptly [[FanNickname nicknamed]] "Sausage Fingers").
