posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Anime studio Production Reed announced on February 12 that it is changing its name back to Toshihiko Satō, the company's president, stated in the announcement that the company is returning to its original founding name "with the intention of pushing forward with new feelings and a theme of 'let's make something interesting' and 'let's make something fun.'"
Ashi Productions was founded in 1975. The company was responsible for such popular anime classics as Sengoku Majin Goshōgun in the 1980s.
The studio sold the company to Toshihiko Satō in May 2009. The company then became more than 95% employee owned.
Production Reed most recently worked on the 12-episode Onsen Yōsei Hakone-chan anime series.
