4'''Animal Ya''' (あにまる屋), alternatively called "Animal House" and currently known as [[http://www.anime.or.jp/ Ekura Animal]] (エクラアニマル), is a Japanese studio established in 1982 by former Creator/ShinEiAnimation animators Hiroshi Fukutomi and Toshiyuki Honda.

6Since 2003, one of their production arms, '''Studio Comet''' (スタジオコメット; a studio founded in 1986 by Ex-Creator/TsuchidaProduction staff members after the studio went out of business, after which, Comet was funded by Animal Ya), split from them. For sake of simplicity, both companies have been combined into this article.

8Compare Creator/TMSEntertainment, Creator/ToeiAnimation, and Creator/{{Madhouse}}, other anime companies that have had a presence in WesternAnimation (TMS in particular), as well as Creator/{{Wombat}}, Creator/StudioJack and Creator/StudioTwinkle, Comet's longtime partners. Do not confuse for ''Film/AnimalHouse''.
