CloverWorks Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社CloverWorks, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha KurōbāWākusu) is a Japanese animation studio that was rebranded from A-1 Pictures' Kōenji Studio. It is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan's anime production firm Aniplex.[2]

Establishment

On April 1, 2018, A-1 Pictures rebranded its Kōenji Studio as CloverWorks, which has a unique brand identity, distinguishable from its main Asagaya Studio.[3][4] The studio is based in Suginami, Tokyo.[1]

Four anime productions have changed the studio credited from A-1 Pictures to CloverWorks after the rebranding. They are Slow Start, Darling in the Franxx, Persona 5: The Animation and Ace Attorney Season 2. Slow Start changed the credited studio after the original run ended, while Darling in the Franxx changed the credited studio during production.[5][6]

On October 1, 2018, CloverWorks announced that it had separated from A-1 Pictures, although it remained a subsidiary of Aniplex.[7]
