| The procurator of anime production studio Trans Arts has announced that the studio has ceased business due to insolvency. The process for the bankruptcy will be carried out soon. Trans Arts was founded in 1967 and had been producing anime mainly as the subcontractor of Production I.G. From 2001 - 2005, Trans Arts produced Prince of Tennis in cooperation with I.G. Last year, they have participated in the production of Mirai Nikki, Persona 4 The Animation and Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. Source: Notice from Trans Arts |

| Strange. Most of last titles in their least were successful enough. Why so? |

The latest work they're listed for as Animation Producer is Loups=Garous, and that proved to be a major bomb. It's just a shame they didn't get to participate in the production of Shin Tennis no Oujisama to get them back into shape (considering it's not selling too badly, though I don't think they've ever ended up on the production committee themselves so this might not actually matter) - I guess they've been in a disastrous state for a while and couldn't get the work force to do so anymore. |

| Well, that feels weird to learn. |
| Well that sucks, seeing as they've been around since 1967. I didn't think Loups=Garous was actually that bad, but it could've been alot better |
 |
| Wow this...really blows.. |
 |
| Always sad to see a company/studio go bankrupt, even if I might not of been a big fan of them in the first place. Hopefully other studios learn from these mistakes. |

| That's too bad !! |
 |
| It's sad thing to see. :( Even though I never saw anything from them, it's still very sad considering that it was founded back in 1967. :( |

| Noooo...! To think that that was where POT was produced...I feel sad..! And they've been around for so long too.. RIP Trans Arts |
 |
| Goodness I'll miss you Trans Arts |
 |
| Never heard of them R.I.P anyways |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Imagine the reactions if this happened to KyoAni or Shaft... |
| R.I.P. |
| what a shock well RIP |
| R.I.P :( |
| The heading is a bit misleading. Should say "original" Prince of Tennis. Because the current studio is NAS. I was worried there a bit because of that. For the record, I'm not a particular fan of PoT, but am of NAS. |

| Sad to see them go, especially since they've been around for so long. It seems like there could be so much potential for future series this studio might have animated, but now won't get the opportunity. |

| R.I.P They already done their job very well *Salute SurferDude said: Imagine the reactions if this happened to KyoAni or Shaft... Well maybe in a far..faraway future? But I hope not, there's so many great anime from them... I'll be very sad :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| As a production house, nothing was lost. They never made anything really outstanding by themselves. Hope that P.IG won't be affected to much by this. |
