Animation Studios aren't just specific to Japan, they can be found all over the world. However, there's no doubt that Japan is the hub of the anime world, filled to the brim with talent, people that love their craft, and animations that wow the viewer. The best anime are usually produced by the largest studios. Big names like I.G. Productions, MAPPA, Toei Animation, etc., are all well and good, but lesser known studios without a lot of backing sometimes end up producing the most authentic, heart-warming stories in the world of animation.
