Established in 1979 by several former animators of Creator/MushiProductions and Creator/TatsunokoProduction, '''[[http://pierrot.jp/ Studio Pierrot]]''' (ぴえろ) is a Japanese anime production studio mainly known for shonen manga adaptations. They're best known for adapting the famous shonen anime ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', and its spin-off ''Manga/{{Boruto}}''. They also produced the ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' anime before it was prematurely canceled in 2012, though they would later work on a continuation in 2022. Before the 2000s, they were best known for their MagicalGirl series, such as ''Anime/CreamyMamiTheMagicAngel'', ''Anime/PersiaTheMagicFairy'', ''Anime/MagicalEmiTheMagicStar'', ''Anime/MagicalIdolPastelYumi'', and ''Anime/FancyLala''. As well as their adaptations of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad'', and ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.

!!Tropes Associated with Pierrot:
* AnimationBump:
** Their 80s productions are far better animated then their later stuff, this includes ''Urusei Yatsura'', ''Mysterious Cities of Gold'' and ''Magical Angel Creamy Mami'', the same can be said for some of their 90's productions like ''Yu Yu Hakusho''.
** Most of the high-profile fight scenes in the ''Naruto'' franchise are known for having very fluid and detailed animation, especially when compared to the rest of the series normal episodes.
* CreatorsFavorite: The staff from the studio unapologetically admits that they're big fans of Hinata Hyuga from ''Naruto'' (via interviews and an Omake in episode 165) to the point that they gave the franchise's creator a draft for [[Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie a movie]] that would focus on [[spoiler:her love story with the titular character!]]
* PlayingAgainstType:
** ''The Legend of Korra'', which is one of the few American properties they've worked on. ''Green Lantern: Emerald Knights'' and ''Mysterious Cities of Gold'' also veer towards this category to some extent.
** They also helped to make the official sites of other anime titles, including ''Manga/GabrielDropout'' and ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' for Creator/{{Dogakobo}}, ''Manga/MadeInAbyss'' for Creator/KinemaCitrus, ''Anime/CaseFileNoTwoTwoOneKabukicho'' for Creator/ProductionIG and ''Anime/AppareRanman'' for Creator/PAWorks.
* ProductionPosse: Has built up a rapport with [[Creator/TakahashiProduction T2 Studio]] since the late 1980s[[note]]Other oft-used companies from that time frame include Creator/KyotoAnimation, Creator/TNishimura, Creator/StudioCosmos, Creator/StudioGallop, Creator/NakamuraProductions and Creator/DRMovie[[/note]]. Also uses Hanjin Animation, Jiwoo Animation and NARA Animation Studio (Said sub-standard Korean studios) in more recent years.
* TroubledProduction: Akin to Creator/ToeiAnimation, when a series has this, it ''really'' has this, as shows like ''[[https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2017/11/27/dynamic-chord-this-is-how-anime-breaks/ DYNAMIC CHORD]]'' and ''Black Clover'' have proven to be. A [[https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2017/07/18/welcome-to-the-ballroom-episode-2/ more tragic example]] of this also occurred when animating episode 2 of ''Welcome to The Ballroom''.
