History Creator / Sunrise

* OffModel: This occurs from time to time in several of their anime, especially in the original [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gundam series]] and its sequels or spin-offs.
** Some other notable series in which this happens include ''Votoms'', ''Dirty Pair'', The ''Brave'' Series and ''Cross Ange'', where the animation varies between (or in some cases, ''within'') episodes.
** 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 or episodes.
** Kevin Altieri [[http://worldsfinestonline.com/WF/batman/btas/backstage/animato/ praised]] Sunrise's contribution to the ''Batman'' episode "The Cat and the Claw, Part One" by saying "They blew so many other simpler things, and ''this'' they pulled off!" in reference to a difficult sequence[[note]]The one where Red Claw is briefing her men[[/note]]. Sums up their reputation for this trope quite well.
*** Also mentioned in the same article, Altieri talks about how they struggled with Poison Ivy in "Eternal Youth"[[note]]making her long-limbed[[/note]]. It further mentions that one scene in "Pretty Poison"[[note]]the scene where she exits the restaurant[[/note]] had to be re-animated in America.
** ''Street Fighter''. Their episodes were sent to their Hong Kong studio (credited as Hong Kong Tokyo Sunrise), where they clearly didn't have quality control going on.[[note]]mind you, the series didn't have the best animation quality to begin with[[/note]]
*** Having to share with Madhouse didn't help matters either, as both companies did their episodes in different styles.[[note]]Sunrise's looked more "deformed 1990s anime", while Madhouse's were more "deformed 1990s American cartoon"[[/note]]

[[http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp Sunrise Inc.]] is one of the biggest anime makers in all of Japan. If you are thinking "RealRobot", you probably mean Sunrise's productions. Between the [[LongRunners long-running]] ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise and one-shot gems like ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' and ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Sunrise has long since cemented its reputation of one of the HumongousMecha market trend makers. Also, being a subsidiary of Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment (since 1994), many of its works (the ones involving HumongousMecha, of course) end up in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' sooner or later.
