Orange Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 有限会社オレンジ, Hepburn: Yūgen-gaisha Orenji) is a Japanese animation studio based in Musashino, Tokyo that specializes in the production of 3DCG animation.[1] The studio is known for its exaggerated 3D and directing style, which differs from the traditional movement often found in CG works.[2]

On December 19, 2024, it was announced that Toho would acquire a 19.7% stake in the studio which was completed on January 17, 2025.[3]

Establishment

Eiji Inomoto, a CG animator who had become somewhat well known for his work on Zoids: Chaotic Century and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (as one of the main Tachikoma 3D Unit members), founded Orange on May 1, 2004.[4] For a majority of the studio's early history, the company mainly did outsourced 3D work for other studio's productions, like the original anime Heroic Age in 2007 (for Xebec) and the adaptation of Rail Wars! (for Passione) in 2014. It wasn't until 2013, 9 years after its founding, that Orange was involved a major project's production on a significant level: their co-production of Majestic Prince with studio Doga Kobo. Following Majestic Prince, the company began co-producing a number of works, like Black Bullet with Kinema Citrus, and in 2017, the studio produced its first anime not under a co-production. This was an adaptation of Land of the Lustrous, which was met with positive critical reception, with praise being given for its usage of CG animation.[5][6]
