Creator / Bandai Namco Pictures

Hello, Sunri- um, BN Pictures here. How may we help you?

Bandai Namco Pictures (or BN Pictures) is an Animation Studio that's part of Bandai Namco Entertainment, launched in 2015. It's a subsidiary of Sunrise, taking along them most of their non-Mecha and Bandai Namco owned properties (and Gintama) that usually aims at children and family.

They would absorb Studio Dub into their fold in late 2019 and relabel it as their Iwaki branch.
