Satelight: Studio discussion, speculation and whatnot

Since this year(2012) has Satelight involved in such series as Mouretsu Pirates, Aquarion EVOL, AKB0048 and they are involved in the Summer series Muv-luv Alternative: Total Eclipse as well as co-producing Senki Zesshou Symphogear and I noticed they don't have a thread yet, I knew this studio needed a thread.

Some history on this studio, which has worked on Macross Frontier and The Genesis of Aquarion:

Quote:
The studio was founded on December 1995, in Sapporo, Hokkaidō, their first project being Bit the Cupid, the world's first fully digitally-animated television series. The name Satelight consists of S for Sapporo, A for Animate, T for Technology and E for Entertainment. The company's president is Michiaki Satō. Noted anime director and creator Shōji Kawamori is an executive director at the studio.

In 1996, the studio's next project was producing the CG animation for Group TAC's Īhatōbu Gensō: Kenji no Haru. It soon established a production studio in 1998 in Suginami, Tokyo. The studio soon produced their first television series, Kawamori's Chikyū Shōjo Arjuna in 2001. In 2006, the studio changed its headquarters from Sapporo to Tokyo.

The animation studios GOHANDS(Mardock Scramble) and 8-Bit(Infinite Stratos) are comprised of former Satelight animators and team members.

Satelight has also worked on Fairy Tail and Shugo Chara!
