Line #15 Creator/StudioJunio


1	'''Studio Junio''' (スタジオジュニオ) was an anime studio founded in 1970 by Takao Kozai after Hatena Pro (of which Takao was co-founder) disbanded and split a year prior. Since their establishment, they have worked with Creator/{{TMS\|Entertainment}} and Creator/{{Toei\|Animation}} on several anime. In 1999, after the [[TroubledProduction/AnimeAndManga troubled production]] of ''Gundress'', the company withdrew from the animation business and a year later, reorganized itself as a joint-stock company under the name '''Junio Brain Trust'''.

70	!! Tropes associated with Junio
71	* AnimationBump: ''Sonic CD'', ''Batman''
72	* {{Animesque}}: One of Junio's ''Batman'' episodes had this (see Off Model below).
73	* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: What was once one of the more well-respected anime studios out there. Junio would suffer greatly during the production of ''Gundress'', it effectively killed any remaining goodwill they had left, and forced them to change industries entirely. Most of its animation staff would go on to form Creator/FAIInternational and Creator/SynergySP.
