is a Japanese animation studio founded on May 1, 2017.
History Bibury Animation Studios was founded on May 1, 2017 by Motoki "Tensho" Tanaka, an animation director and director of Kin-iro Mosaic, the Grisaia series, and Rewrite, both for the animation component of the visual novel while working for White Fox and later for the anime by 8-Bit. For the first two years of the company's existence, the studio worked solely as a sub-contracting studio, providing mostly in-between and 2nd key animation services. In 2019, the studio produced its first major work, Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation, directed by studio founder Tensho (who directed previous installments of the series), and in the same year, its first television series, Azur Lane: The Animation.
It has a sister studio, Bibury Animation CG, which provides 3DCG animation and designs as an outsourcing company for other studios, including Bibury itself. It also has another studio, bakuga animation company, founded in April 1, 2025 and located in Osaka, specializing in digital animation.
On February 3, 2026, the studio's founder Tensho announced on X the establishment of background art studio, Scenic Art Studio, which focuses on high quality of backgrounds.
