162	!!Associated tropes:
163
164	* AnimationBump: They were considerd one of the better studios out there during their heyday. ''Roujin Z'' and ''Robot Carnival'' especially stand out with their quality.
165	* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Originally a producer of several notable OVA titles. After the failure of the ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'' movie, they've since exclusively served as an animation subcontractor (usually on in-between frames) and episode producer until its dissolution on 31 July 2021, after Nomura died on 10 June.
