A-1 Pictures is a Japanese Anime studio first established in 2005 by Aniplex (Technically Sony) to animate their productions.

Noticeable for having CG in their shows.

See also Rough Draft Studios, Toon City, GONZO, Digital eMation, DR Movie, Xebec, Satelight and Production I.G; all of whom also use CG in their works. Also see Sony Pictures Imageworks, another Sony studio. Do not confuse with A-1 Production, a South Korean studio.

Tropes associated with A-1

• Conspicuous CG
• Medium Blending: In The Making of Kuroshitsuji, there's a scene in which Hand-Drawn "CG Animators" were in a live action environment (presumably their own CG Department).
• Off Model: Happens at times. This example from Kuroshitsuji with waist-less Claude◊ for instance.
• Scenery Porn: Very guilty of it in many of their works.
