History Creator / GONZO

Their unrestrained flamboyance eventually took its toll, as a string of unpopular/unsuccessful adaptations forced them to [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/02/13/gonzo-set-to-fire-75-of-employees/ sack 75% of their staff]]. Already in such dire financial straits, [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/11/27/gonzo-stripped-of-strike-witches-season-2/ their death as a company seemed all but assured by late 2009, having lost the rights to produce the second season]] of their last hope, the CashCowFranchise ''Manga/StrikeWitches''. This caused many of GONZO's Studio No. 5 staff members, led by Tomonori Shibata, to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leave the company]] and [[StartMyOwn found their own production company]] Creator/StudioGokumi. At the same time, they sold off their CGI division (Digimation) to editing company Q-Tec, who renamed it {{Creator/Graphinica}}.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Gonzo almost went bankrupt, most of the staff from Studio No. 5 left and founded Creator/StudioGokumi.
** Creator/DavidProduction was also established through similar means.

* LimitedAnimation: The intros for ''Super Street Fighter IV''; the characters barely move, making it more like a motion comic than animation. The endings aren't much better.

However, since then, they have recovered to a state where they can make new anime, and is wisely not producing more than one series per season (which may have contributed to their financial troubles). Among the series that were created after the restructuring: ''Anime/NyanpireTheAnimation'', the SequelSeries ''Anime/LastExileFamTheSilverWing'', ''Anime/BladeAndSoul'', ''Anime/BayonettaBloodyFate'', ''LightNovel/DogAndScissors'', ''[[Manga/KimiNoIruMachi A Town Where You Live]]'', and ''Manga/SoreGaSeiyuu'', and''VisualNovel/AoNoKanataFourRhythm'', among others.
