Xebec

Xebec (Japanese: 株式会社ジーベック, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Jībekku) was a Japanese animation studio based in Kokubunji, established by former Tatsunoko Production animators on May 1, 1995. They have worked on many popular series such as Martian Successor Nadesico, Love Hina, Shaman King, To Love Ru, Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs, and Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2202. The studio was owned by IG Port.

On November 20, 2018, IG Port sold the Xebec studio to Sunrise after constant deficits that the subsidiary had in different years. Shortly afterwards, Sunrise announced that they established a new company, Sunrise Beyond, at Xebec's address on on March 5, 2019, with Xebec's operations being transferred to it.

Xebec ceased to exist as a business entity on May 31, 2019. Its post-production teams, which were not part of the sale to Sunrise, were broken up and consolidated into several IG Port companies, but Production I.G. inherited the company's assets. Copyrights of Xebec's past works, including To Love Ru series, were reverted to the IG Port group as a whole.
