Studio DEEN

Studio DEEN is one of the oldest active anime studios and was established in 1975 by members of 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.

Tropes found in Studio DEEN's work:

Animated Adaptation: Almost all of their credits (be it as the main studio or just as support) consist of these.
Animation Bump: Occasionally, like all studios. But especially in their films.
Off Model: Pretty much all of their shows have it to some degree.
- Weiss Kreuz is generally considered one of the studio's worst-animated shows.
- Ginga Densetsu Weed's amount of Off Model is practically legendary among the fandom.
- Painfully obvious in Axis Powers Hetalia. Observe.
- The Off Model qualities of their anime adaptations of visual novels (Fate/stay night and When They Cry being the most well-known) are often decried by fans of the original, although the overall quality of the adaptations themselves is up for debate. Their manga adaptations too.
- You're Under Arrest! and Maria-sama Ga Miteru both sway between animation quality often.
