Studio VOLN Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社studio VOLN, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Vorun) is a Japanese animation studio that animates and produces anime television series and films.

The company's name, "VOLN", is an acronym for "Visiting Old Learn New".[1]

Establishment

The studio was founded on August 12, 2014, by ex-Madhouse producer and director Keiji Mita, who currently heads the company as its president and representative. The studio's first two animated series were co-productions with MAPPA, including an adaptation of the popular manga series Ushio & Tora. Since then, it started to produce its own works, including a theatrical anime film version of the 2015 novel I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Animator Abiru Takahiko was one of the studio's animation directors for a time.[2]
