History

Shin-Ei Animation's history begins in December 1965 as A Production (エイプロダクション, Ei Purodakshon) by Daikichirō Kusube.

In 1976, A Production split from Tokyo Movie (東京ムービー, Tōkyō Mūbī) and became Shin-Ei Animation (シンエイ動画, Shīn'eī Dōga). After this, Tokyo Movie was reformatted into Tokyo Movie Shinsha Co., Ltd. (東京ムービー新社, Tōkyō Mūbī Shīn-shā).

Shin-Ei is known for being the animation studio behind two of the anime television series: Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chanon 1979 and 1992 respectively. They have been running on Japanese television ever since.

In 2010, TV Asahi had acquired the animation studio.[3]

In April 2017, SynergySP became a subsidiary of the company.
