An anime studio is a company or production organization that coordinates some or all of the creative and technical work needed to make Japanese animation.

E-konte is the Japanese production storyboard that organizes an anime’s cuts, framing, action, dialogue, camera instructions, and approximate timing.

Genga and dōga are linked stages of drawn anime production: key drawings establish movement, while clean-up and in-between work prepare the full sequence.

Sakuga means animation drawing in Japanese production, while international fandom often uses it for visually distinctive or especially accomplished animated cuts.

Anime production coordinates planning, scripts, storyboards, design, animation, sound, compositing, editing, finance, and distribution across specialized teams.
