Creator / TMS Entertainment

Established in 1946^note  Officially for the Kyokuichi half, according to their website. The animation studio (Tokyo Movie) was not founded until 1964 by Ex-Mom Productions stop motion animator Yutaka Fujioka, TMS Entertainment (short for Tokyo Movie Shinsha, also credited as TMS-Kyokuchi or Tokyo Movie on occasion) is one of the oldest and most well-known (both in Japan and overseas) producers of Anime, and animation generally, in the world. Their most famous works are Lupin III, Case Closed, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Animaniacs. They have also done various other anime, including Soreike! Anpanman, Sonic X, Cardfight!! Vanguard, ZX Ignition, Spellbound! Magical Princess Lil'Pri, Megalo Box, Ulysses 31, Hamtaro, D.Gray-Man, Bakugan Battle Brawlers and adaptations of The Rose of Versailles, Dr. STONE, Fruits Basket and Cat's Eye; cartoons such as DuckTales (1987), Mighty Orbots, Batman: The Animated Series, Inspector Gadget, Visionaries and Cybersix, and even some full length feature films, such as AKIRA and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

Outside of Anime, they were also a popular studio for western animation. Their work first popped up in American cartoons in the early 80s, when they did animation for Filmation's The New Adventures of Zorro, as well as some of DiC's cartoons during that company's glory days. A few years later, Disney and Warner Bros. joined the list of clients, doing episodes of DuckTales (1987) and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh from Disney; Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, and Animaniacs from Warner Bros. Animation. On the Japanese side of clients, TMS has worked for Shogakukan with Detective Conan and Hamtaro, Kodansha with Ohayo! Spank and Kaitou Saint Tail and Shueisha with Dokonjou Gaeru and D.Gray-Man.

Starting off as a independent studio when established in 1946/1964, they were sold off to Sega-Kyokuchi^note  the Kyokuichi half was bought out by Sega in 1990; TMS merged with Kyokuichi in 1995 in 1992 when the studio's founder Yutaka Fujioka left to retire (hence the name of their 1996-1999 productions as TMS-Kyokuchi). The studio was renamed TMS Entertainment in 2000^note  (although the moniker was often used prior to the official name change) and again in 2005 during the SegaSammy merger.

Their foreign workload has met a sharp decline, thanks to factors such as rising prices. The 2011 earthquake in Japan, which resulted in damage to their warehouse and halted many of their in-progress series, hasn't helped matters either. Whatever the case may be, TMS decided to focus mostly on anime (either their own or others, see below). The clients they once had have since moved to other studios. Disney opened its own overseas studio in Japan, using that one for a while before dumping them in 2004, as well as using other Asian studios, like Toon City and Rough Draft. DiC, in its twilight years, used various other Asian studios^note  including KK C&D Asia, Sei Young, Spectrum and Saerom after The Littles (which itself was taken over by Studio Gallop in season three). Warner Bros. likewise ended its ties with TMS after Wakko's Wish and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, instead opting for cheaper animation studios like MOI Animation (most of the DC showcase shorts), JM Animation (the Jonah Hex short), Lotto Animation and Dong Woo Animation in Korea and Toon City as well (with Wang Film Productions on occasion). They reunited with TMS for Green Lantern: First Flight, Justice League: Doom and Superman vs. the Elite.

They were one of the minds behind the channel Animax (With Toei Animation, Sunrise and Sony) and the web site Daisuki (with Toei Animation, Sunrise, Sony, Nihon Ad Systems, Dentsu and Asatsu-DK).

Has nothing to do with TMZ.

Studios founded by Ex-TMS staff Members

• Asahi Production: Established as the company's photography subsidiary in 1973 before splitting off and eventually becoming a regular for Sunrise. Still currently works alongside TMS as a regular subcontractor for both animation and camera services.
• Shin-Ei Animation: After A-Pro split off from TMS in 1976, they got 98% of their stocks, 90% of it was sold to TV Asahi, 8% of it became Shin-Ei Doga. The 2% TMS did not give out to A-Pro was put into Telecom. As of 2010, the studio is now 100% owned by TV Asahi.
  • Ajia-Do: Founded in 1978 from a batch of animators at Shin-Ei that just did not what to only do Doraemon when it started production the same year (the show aired in 1979), the studio is mainly used by TMS on Anpanman.
• Studio Gallop: To some extent, as the studio itself was founded in 1972 by Ex Mushi Productions staff. The animation unit started in 1977 after TMS fired a bunch of staff after how badly they messed up Episode 72 of Lupin III: Part II – resulting in Yasuo Otsuka having to redo almost the whole thing by himself. These animators stayed at Gallop until 1990, when they were fired again because Gallop wanted to improve their image. When these animators left, they then established...
  • Tokyo Kids: Often labeled as one of the worst outsourcing studios used by TMS. They're also behind the animation in Gallery Fake and the 2007 Toward the Terra series.
  • OLM Incorporated: To an extent. Shuichi Kanda, Tsukasa Koitabashi, and Nobuyuki Wasaki were originally from Gallop.
• Studio CATS: Established in 1982 by Hideko Kudo, who was a tracer for TMS. The company has worked on numerous productions, including those by Disney, Sunrise, and TMS.
• KK C&D Asia: Formed by Tetsuo Katayama and Shigeru Akagawa in 1983 because of the way Little Nemo was going, the studio mostly did shows for DiC Entertainment with their biggest project being The Real Ghostbusters. The studio shut down in 2000 due to becoming too expensive for the US to ship off productions to Japan and for failing to compete in the anime market. Most of the staff now work for Production I.G.
• Studio Ghibli: Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata worked at A-Productions, a TMS studio between 1965 and 1976. During the early-70's, the two would be in charge of A-Productions and would continue working for Studio Telecom before leaving for Studio Top Craft, which would later become Ghibli.
• Spectrum Animation: Formed in 1988, the studio's first job was to supervise the Korean studios responsible for Captain N: The Game Master (as well as the animation for season 2). The company's first (and only) big break was on Batman: The Animated Series, providing animation to nine episodes ^note "On Leather Wings", "Heart of Ice", "P.O.V", "It's Never Too Late", "Robin's Reckoning, part 1", "Baby-Doll", "Shadow of The Bat, Part 1", and "Vendetta" and the movie Mask of the Phantasm. The studio also did some work for Cinar and the animated pilot for Defenders of Dynatron City. But, much like KK C&D, they too were unable to compete in the anime market and were forced to shut down in 1998. Most of their staff, much like KK C&D's, now work for Production I.G.
• Walt Disney Animation Japan: Founded by Motoyoshi Tokunaga in 1988 from the former Pacific Animation Corp (the company behind ThunderCats (1985) and Silverhawks). The studio, obviously, served as Disney's Japanese unit. The studio stayed open until 2004, when Disney got rid of most of their traditional animation units^note however, Roy E. Disney and John Lasseter managed to keep the Los Angeles unit afloat for quite a while, and the Australia unit remained until 2007. After that most of their staff members went to work for Madhouse, Studio Pierrot or Production I.G. The ones who did stick with Tokunaga went on to become...
  • The Answer Studio: Formed by Tokunaga after the closure of Walt Disney Animation Japan, The studio did a number of shows and DTV movies including Transformers: Animated, Golgo 13 and Batman: Under the Red Hood.
• Takahashi Studio: Founded by producer Yoshimitsu Takahashi. It was active from the late 80's to around 2000.

Tropes associated with TMS Entertainment

• Animation Bump: Not just in animation itself compared to other studios used at the time, but color keys and shading as well.
  Bruce Timm: I think when we shipped them 'Clayface,' they said to themselves: They think they know everything, but we'll show them how to do this show. We'll change Batman's colors. We'll do special color key treatments on the villains when they're walking over the green vat. We'll blow them away.' If that's their revenge, thank you for proving us wrong. I was so happy with that episode." "The sequence where Daggett and Germs are walking over that green vat, those characters look like they're three-dimensional. They look like they're rotoscoped. When Daggett slowly turns toward the camera, the shadows really wrap around his face. It's as if they're real! They did all those colors themselves. We couldn't even ask for those colors if we wanted to. They aren't even in our palette. They had to specially mix those colors."
• Big Budget Beef-Up: The Western Animation that came out of the studio tended to cost a lot more than most of the other animation studios companies that Disney and Warner Bros. were using at the time.
• Cash-Cow Franchise: Most of the western productions TMS did animation work on (primarily those of Warner Bros. and Disney). On the anime side, we have Lupin III, Bakugan, Anpanman and Detective Conan.
• International Coproduction: Some North American projects, like Visionaries, Bionic Six and Inspector Gadget.
• Long-Runners: Several, the most obvious being Lupin III, Anpanman and Detective Conan.
• Limited Animation: Justified throughout the '60s and '70s, as practically everyone, even Disney was doing it due to incredibly low budgets. They do tend to fare better than other studios (with some exceptions as shown below) when it comes to television animation, though.
  • Averted (for the most part) in their American work, often being considered one of the best Japanese studios.
• Off-Model: Even they're guilty of this. Mostly seen in their work from the '70s, Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Knight Hunters. For more recent offenders, there's Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Sonic X, Hamtaro and Bakugan.
• Production Posse: Disney only worked with them when their TV animation division first began, though by 1989 they had phased them out in favor of Walt Disney Animation Japan. This sudden availability allowed Warner Bros. to work with TMS due to the latter needing money to pay back for Little Nemo's bombing , who used them for many of their shows throughout the '90s (Tiny Toon Adventures, Sylvester And Tweety Mysteries, Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series).
  • Being owned by SegaSammy, they've worked on a lot of projects based on Sega's library of IPs^note some of them done though their Telecom division, including the in-game cutscenes in games like Astal, Sakura Wars, and Last Bronx, and anime like Virtua Fighter, Sonic X, Phantasy Star Online 2: The Animation, and more recently Shenmue The Animation. One of their first projects with the company's series was ironically five episodes of the western-produced Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which happened to be their final project with DiC Entertainment.
  • On the anime side of things,they've used Wish, Studio Bihou, Triple A and Asahi Production fairly often in recent productions. Whereas Nakamura Productions, Ajia-Do, Magic Bus and T2 Studio have been subcontractors for the company since the early 1980s.
  • TMS also used Studio Jungle Gym and Tokyo Kids alot too before the studios filed for bankruptcy.
  • Would often work on shows that also utilized Wang Film Productions on a regular basis during the 80s and 90s. Wang having also worked for TMS on Ulysses 31 and Peter Pan and the Pirates.
• Troubled Production: Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland aside, The New Adventures of Zorro (1981) was plagued with these. The least of which being a small time frame for the first episode (five weeks, according to Lou Scheimer himself in "Creating the Filmation Generation")
