Establishment

The company was established in 2006 as a sub-contracting studio that specialized in 3DCG production, and was involved with various works such as Psycho-Pass and Noblesse. In 2016, Gemba released its first major production, an iteration of Kentaro Miura's Berserk co-animated with 2D studio Millepensee. Despite a decade of experience with 3DCG, the series received harsh criticism towards its CG animation from viewers and critics alike.[1][2][3][4][5] Reception to the studio's second major production, The Magnificent Kotobuki, has been more positive, contrastly.[6]
