| @Memore Sorry I don't know I have not seen any of the anime they have worked on. But I have seen clips from their Uma Musume Side story and it was good. |

@Memore Cygames Pictures is a new, fantastic studio. Everything they put out so far was great quality. They're great at getting skilled people to work together on their episodes.
