Anime Sound Production is a Japanese sound effects company specializing primarily in animation (hence the name), but has occasionally supplied sound effects for dramas and video games as well.
The studio was founded by former Fizz Sound Creation employee, Shoji Kato on January 1, 1977, and much like Swara Productions, Anime Sound also uses many of the same sound effects as Fizz, but have also created their own.
Despite its company name, they're also known for utilizing the Hanna-Barbera SFX library (especially in Time Bokan), as well as the BBC SFX library.
That said, while the studio was very prominent during the 80's, 90's and the 2000's, in recent years, Anime Sound hasn't been getting as much work and pretty much all but 2 of their employees have either retired or have gone freelance.
