The Anime Studio That Made Samurai Champloo and Gangsta. is No More



Manglobe (マングローブ), the anime studio behind such hits as Samurai Champloo, The World God Only Knows series, and this past season’s hit, GANGSTA.is kaput.

According to a report from animeanime.biz, Manglobe had started procedures for bankruptcy on the 29th after being in a state of insolvency for some time.


Apparently this was not common knowledge when the news broke yesterday evening, much to the surprise and chagrin of many contractors involved who had no idea their livelihood had just gone t*ts up.

An animator, Toshio Kobayashi, aka SNIPES, tweeted last night, “[Urgent] Please give me work.” Followed by the tweet, “[Breaking news] I’m unemployed.”

The world god only knows is such an underrated dope show. Too bad we will never ge5 a season 4 due to low DVD sales and now the studios going bankrupt. Guess I will have to read the manga, my nikka really fell for that chic in the parking lot crying :mjcry:
