Anime Studio Story

Anime Studio Story is a studio management game where you hire and train staff, create anime shows and build your own main characters by combining different heads and bodies. Your shows earn money, and you work to raise their popularity and your studio’s standing.

Run your studio

You can equip the studio with facilities including a library, motion capture room and theater. Shows can bring in income, while subcontracting work lets you train staff and save money. As staff gain job levels, they can discover new settings for shows; their training and jobs can also lead to new themes.

Create anime shows

For each show, choose a broadcast station, a setting and one or more themes. Some combinations can increase popularity. As production begins, select the main character; a character’s personality changes depending on the show and may affect the merchandising offers you receive.

Develop characters and audiences

Build main characters by combining heads and bodies. Characters who reach level 5 and rank highly in surveys have greater market value. To make popular shows, choose effective setting and theme combinations, increase your characters’ appeal and grow your studio’s fan base. Shows are ranked in categories such as “Dateability” and “Popular with Kids.”
