Passione Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社パッショーネ, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Passhōne) is a Japanese animation studio founded in 2011.

History

[edit]

Passione was founded on January 26, 2011 by Kazuhiro Saitō, former production manager of Studio Fantasia.

On July 24, 2022, publisher MF Bunko J announced that Passione would produce the anime adaptation of the light novel series The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy, with Hiroyuki Morita and Yuji Nomi revealed in March 2023 to be the series director and composer, respectively.[2][3] The series is Morita and Nomi's first collaboration and television work in over a decade,[4][5] having previously worked together on The Cat Returns (2002) under Studio Ghibli and Bokurano (2007) under Gonzo.[3][6]

Passione, alongside anime studios Hayabusa Film and Saetta, currently operates an anime themed bar in Osaka named "Anime Cafe&Bar CUE LAMP", which opened on April 10, 2023.[7]
