Aniplex, Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社アニプレックス, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Anipurekkusu) is a Japanese entertainment company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan. Founded in September 1995, the company is responsible for the plan, production, and distribution of anime series, which includes original works and those based on licensed intellectual properties (IPs). It also engages in related multimedia initiatives.[1]
Aniplex's operations encompass the development and distribution of theatrical films, video games, and merchandise associated with its media franchises. It also releases home media, produces original soundtracks, and organizes events such as musicals, stage performances, and promotional concerts. The company manages copyrights and licensing agreements, and operates an e-commerce platform, Aniplex Online, through which it sells products directly to consumers.
While Aniplex operates globally, it maintains two main regional branches: Aniplex of America, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, and Aniplex China, based in Shanghai. Together with its sister company Sony Pictures Entertainment, Aniplex co-owns Crunchyroll, LLC, which operates an eponymous direct-to-consumer (DTC) anime streaming service with 120 million registered users.[3]
Aniplex has produced numerous notable anime series such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Gurren Lagann, Monogatari Series, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate Series, Sword Art Online and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. It also operates and publishes the mobile game Fate/Grand Order.
Aniplex is a member of Association of Japanese Animations (AJA),[4] a regular member of the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA),[5] a supporting member of the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ),[6] and a member of the Japan Video Software Association (JVA).[7]
History
Aniplex was established in September 1995 as a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan under the name SPE Music Publishing.[2] In January 1997, following an investment made by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, it was renamed SPE Visual Works.[2] In January 1998, it became a joint venture between SPEJ and SMEJ, inheriting Sony Music Group video productions, with the exception of SMEJ artists' music videos.[2]
On January 1, 2001, the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan and adopted the name SME Visual Works.[2] It rebranded as Aniplex on April 1, 2003, a name derived from the concept of "a complex of rights business derived from animation."[2][8]
In 2004, Aniplex launched the Sugi Label in collaboration with composer Koichi Sugiyama, who is known for the Dragon Quest series soundtracks.[9] The label was sold to King Records in 2009.
In March 2005, Aniplex established Aniplex of America, a subsidiary based in Santa Monica, California, to support licensing and distribution in English-speaking territories across North and South America.[2] On May 9, 2005, the company founded A-1 Pictures,[2] initially tasked with producing family-oriented series. A1 Pictures has since expanded to a broader range of animation projects.
On March 20, 2015, Aniplex and German distributor Peppermint Enterprises announced the establishment of Peppermint Anime GmbH, a joint venture aimed at expanding Japanese anime distribution in German-speaking countries.[10][11] In April 2015, Aniplex also became the largest shareholder in French streaming service Wakanim,[12][13] to strengthen its presence in Europe.[12]
On January 6, 2017, Sony Music Entertainment Japan announced the launch of SACRA MUSIC, a new label specializing in anison music. On April 1, 2017, 14 artists transferred to SACRA MUSIC from other Sony Music Group labels, including Aniplex-affiliated artists LiSA, Kana Hanazawa, and TrySail.[14][15] In collaboration with Aniplex, SACRA MUSIC aims to strengthen its overseas expansion efforts and promote its artists' activities on a global scale by participating in events and holding overseas concerts.[14][15]
On September 4, 2017, Aniplex acquired a majority stake in figure manufacturer Revolve, which is involved in the planning, development, and production of figures, becoming its largest shareholder.[16][17] Through this investment, Aniplex intends to strengthen its ties with Revolve and expand its merchandising business. By enhancing the collaboration between its product planning division and Revolve, it aims to strengthen its figure product lineup and further speed up the process from planning to manufacturing and commercialization.[16][18]
In November 2017, Aniplex acquired a minority interest in Madman Anime Group[19] and in February 2019, acquired the company entirely for A$35 million.[20][21]

On April 2, 2018, group company A-1 Pictures announced that it had renamed its Kōenji Studio to CloverWorks, giving it a unique brand identity distinguishable from its Asagaya Studio.[25][26] On October 1, 2018, CloverWorks was spun off into a separate independent company, making it a direct subsidiary of Aniplex. Aniplex producer Akira Shimizu was appointed president and representative director, while Yūichi Fukushima was appointed Corporate Officer.[27][28]
On November 1, 2018, Aniplex announced that it had established Rialto Entertainment, a wholly owned subsidiary responsible for independent video production and license management, on October 1.[29][30] Aniplex's deputy president, Tadashi Ishibashi, was appointed representative director and chairman of the company, and veteran producer Eiichi Kamagata was named president. He served as president and representative director of Lucent Pictures Entertainment before assuming his new role at Rialto.[30]
On April 19, 2019, Aniplex announced the establishment of a Chinese subsidiary, Aniplex (Shanghai), with full-scale operations scheduled to begin on May 7.[31][32] Besides licensing its properties, the company intends to establish a storefront, develop local IP, and produce and release Chinese animation within the region.[32]
On September 24, 2019, as part of Sony's efforts to increase collaboration between its subsidiaries and strengthen its international anime distribution business,[33] Aniplex and Sony Pictures Television announced the consolidation of their anime streaming services Funimation, Wakanim, and Madman Anime Group under Funimation Global Group, LLC., a new joint venture led by Funimation's general manager, Colin Decker.[34][35] Aniplex held a 20% stake in Funimation Global Group.[36] In 2020, through Funimation/Aniplex, Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan bought Crunchyroll from AT&T.[37][38]

Their cumulative sales have exceeded 100,000 copies as of June 19, 2021.[41]
On April 1, 2020, Aniplex established Boundary, a 3DCG animation production company. CloverWorks president Akira Shimizu was appointed the studio's president and representative director.[42][43] Since its inception, Boundary has been mainly involved in the CG production of CloverWorks projects.[44]
On February 1, 2021, Aniplex announced a capital tie-up with f4samurai, the developer of Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story and Disney: Twisted-Wonderland, allowing Aniplex to strengthen its relationship with the studio and further enhance and expand its gaming business.[45][46][47]

Yoshinori Ono, previously president and chief operating officer of Delightworks, was appointed president and representative director of Lasengle. Aniplex's CEO, Atsuhiro Iwakami, would serve as the company chairman.[52][53] Yosuke Shiokawa, the creative producer behind Fate/Grand Order, left Delightworks and Lasengle at the end of January 2022, establishing his studio Fahrenheit 213 to work on a new original franchise.[54]
