Ocean Pictures

Ocean Anime was a company initially founded in 1999 with the sole intent to make in-house anime based off of Ocean Games popular game franchises.

Ocean Anime was made possible by Takamori Eiichi, a person who worked at Ocean Games for many years. As he was working up the ranks of the company, he kept having this idea floating around in his head. Ever since he was a child, he always had a fascination with anime. So, he decided to take the idea up to his higher-ups, wondering if they would do something with it. And luckily, they did. So, after almost 5 years of planning, Ocean Anime opened for business. The office was only a five-minute walk from the main Ocean Games building in Kyoto, Japan.

However, after a couple of years of making nothing but anime based off of the Ocean Games licenses, they decided that it would be best for the company if they started producing new and original anime alongside the ones created with the already established franchises. This decision really helped the company in the long run, with them receiving some accolades for their renditions of popular series as well as their original projects. Ocean Anime also has a sister corporation, Ocean Manga who create manga series based off of Ocean Games I.P. However, unlike Ocean Anime, Ocean Manga never decided to spin off and design their very own series.

Over the many years of its existence, Ocean Anime has gained somewhat of a cult following, with some of their series being broadcast years after they originally aired. Their series also seem to last an excruciating amount of time, with many of them going on for over 10 years. The series usually retain the same voice cast for their run.
