'''[[http://www.deen.co.jp/ Studio DEEN]]''' (スタジオディーン) is one of the oldest active anime studios and was established in 1975 by members of Creator/{{Sunrise}}. This has led to collaboration between the two companies in their works and to this day Studio DEEN can be found in the credit listing of Sunrise anime. They are one of the more prolific anime studios and as a result often have budget constraints.

They also own a studio in Suzhou, China called Danni Animation (丹尼動画), and before 2016, had a digital subsidiary named Megumi (め組).

A full list of their projects can be seen [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=35 Anime News Network]].

!!Tropes found in Studio DEEN's work:

* AnimatedAdaptation: Almost all of their credits (be it as the main studio or just as support) consist of these.
* AnimationBump: Occasionally, like all studios. But especially in their films.
* {{Fanservice}}: ''Amaenaideyo'', ''Mouse'', some scenes in ''Ranma 1/2''.
* LazyArtist[=/=]UnreliableIllustrator: Pretty much all of their shows have it to some degree, much to the ire of anime fans:
** ''Anime/KnightHunters'' is generally considered one of the studio's worst-animated shows, which is only exacerbated by it being a co-production with [[Creator/MagicBus another studio]] noted for slipshod animation quality.
** ''Anime/GingaDensetsuWeed'''s amount of OffModel is practically legendary among the fandom.
** Painfully obvious in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''. [[http://ohgodnohetaliaanimeart.tumblr.com/ Observe.]]
** The OffModel qualities of their anime adaptations of {{visual novel}}s (''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry'' being the most well-known) and Manga are often decried by fans of the original, although the overall quality of the adaptations themselves is up for debate.
*** To wit, ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' and ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' both sway between animation quality often, sometimes within a single episode.
** ''Konosuba'''s adaptation plays with this and uses their regular faults in artistic quality as an aid to the show's more comedic moments while also having genuine moments of off-looking artwork in others.
** The ''Rick & Morty'' short is also guilty of this, a result of trying to translate the show's style from 2D into 3D.
* ProductionPosse: With Creator/{{Echo}}, their Korean subsidiary. They've also used Creator/NakamuraProductions and Creator/StudioTwinkle on several productions.
** Creator/ShinEiAnimation had used them for much of their work between the early 80's and early 90's.
* PlayingAgainstType: Their work on ''Neo Yokio'', ''Road Rovers'' and ''Rick & Morty'' are about the only non-anime productions the company has been involved in.
* StartMyOwn: The studio was founded in 1975 by former members of Creator/{{Sunrise}}.
* {{Yuri}}: ''Maria Watches Over Us'' and ''Sakura Trick''.
