Polygon Pictures

Polygon Pictures, Inc. (株式会社ポリゴン・ピクチュアズ) is a Japanese 3DCG animation studio headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. Founded on July 22, 1983, by Shuzo John Shiota, the company began as a computer graphics firm producing visuals for video games and commercials. Over four decades, it has grown into one of the most prolific producers of 3D anime globally, with production facilities in Malaysia and India that support its large-scale output.

The studio's portfolio spans original series, manga and light novel adaptations, theatrical films, and extensive work in the video game industry, including cinematic cutscenes and promotional content. Notable titles include the Netflix Originals Blame!, Knights of Sidonia, Pacific Rim: The Black, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. They have also contributed to major franchises such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tron: Uprising, and Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters. Their technical skill earned a Japan Academy Prize nomination for Stand by Me Doraemon in 2015.

Polygon Pictures continues to expand its slate, with the ultra-violent action anime Tank Chair (based on Manabu Yashiro's manga) announced for an October 2026 debut. The studio also collaborates with game developers like Milestone on racing titles and contributes to the Star Wars: Visions anthology, with recent entries such as "The Bird of Paradise" receiving critical attention. While specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, the studio is recognized as a market leader in 3D anime, distinguished by its sleek, modern aesthetic and consistent output since the mid-2000s.
