Aniplex Establishes 3DCG Animation Studio Subsidiary
Aniplex Inc. (Aniplex) announced the establishment of a subsidiary 3DCG animation studio, Boundary Inc. (Boundary), yesterday on April 1 in Japan. Aniplex producer Akira Shimizu was named president of the subsidiary, which was funded entirely by Aniplex with 100 million yen (approximately US$933,900) in capital and will be located in Nakano, Tokyo.
Aniplex was founded in September 1995 under Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and oversees the planning, production, and distribution of anime—some of its well-known titles include Angel Beats!, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gintama, the Monogatari series, and Swort Art Online. Animation studios A-1 Pictures and CloverWorks—the later a division of the former until October 2018—operate under Aniplex, and last September the company teamed with Sony Pictures Television in a streaming merger that joined its Australia-based Madman Anime Group and France-based Wakanim with Sony Pictures Televisions' Funimation. Aniplex also licenses and distributes anime in America through its subsidiary Aniplex of America.
Boundary isn't Aniplex's first foray into CG production; it established the visual and CG production and license management subsidiary company Rialto Entertainment in October 2018.

CGI has been making leaps and bounds these last few years, so I hope Aniplex can follow suit
