Manglobe, Inc., founded on February 7, 2002, by former Sunrise producers Shinichirō Kobayashi and Takashi Kochiyama, was one of the first major anime studios established in the 21st century. Unfortunately, despite creating acclaimed series such as Samurai Champloo, Ergo Proxy, and the adaptation of Deadman Wonderland, Manglobe was also one of the first to go out of business; the studio filed for bankruptcy on September 29, 2015
and was officially shut down on September 1, 2016. Production of their film adaptation of Genocidal Organ was later outsourced to Geno Studio.
