OLM, Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社オー・エル・エム Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Ō Eru Emu?), formerly Oriental Light and Magic, is a Japanese animation and film studio headquartered in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan,[2] founded on October 3, 1990, by former Studio Gallop and OB Planning employees.

Establishment

OLM was founded as Oriental Light and Magic, Inc. on October 3, 1990, by Toshiaki Okuno, Shūkichi Kanda, Shōji Ōta, Kunihiko Yuyama, Naohito Takahashi, Yuriko Chiba, Nobuyuki Wasaki, Tsukasa Koitabashi, and Takaya Mizutani, all of which were formerly affiliated with Studio Gallop or OB Planning. Their name is derived from the American special effects studio Industrial Light & Magic.

In 1995, OLM representative director Toshiaki Okuno founded OLM Digital, which became the main CG work company behind a majority of OLM's works. Toshiaki Okuno stands as both companies' representative director.

Studio structure

Similar to Bandai Namco Filmworks and Bones, OLM is divided into separate production lines that are typically named after the Animation Producer[lower-alpha 1] leading the production. As of 2023, the studio operates five separate production lines.
