''Animation Workshop'') is a Japanese anime studio established on July 11, 1973 by former Creator/ToeiAnimation members Hideo Furusawa and Megumu Ishiguro. Although earlier this studio released anime in different genres (and before then, were exclusively an animation subcontractor), after the great commercial success of ''Manga/YuruYuri'', they almost completely switched to SchoolgirlSeries. Usually their work is famous for high graphic quality and very memorable characters.

248	!!Tropes associated with the company:
249	* CoolBigSis: Very often played for laughs, especially when combined with LittleSisterHeroine, except ''Anime/MyselfYourself'' where the relationship between HalfIdenticalTwins is played for drama and have a fairly ambiguous end.
250	* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Most of their work, even if it's romance.
251	* OlderThanTheyThink: While their most successful shows debuted in the 2010s, they have been around since the 1970s.
252	* SchoolgirlSeries: So direct that when you see news about the adaptation of such a manga, you are already very likely to know that it will be they who will adapt it.
