Paramount Television Animation (Japan)

Paramount Television Animation (Japan) is a Japanese-based animation facility for animation co-production on Paramount Television Animation. It opened in 1983 as an attempt to bypass other overseas animation subcontractors. The studio was located in Oto, Toyko, Japan.

Tropes

 * Animesque: In most of their works, but preferred to use CG animation.
 * All-Star Cast: In the Japanese dubbed versions of Paramount Television Animation's projects.
 * Animation Bump: Their CG animation work and their typically mimicked hand-drawn American animated cartoon work.
 * Art Evolution: Their CG work was a little rough at first, but by the early 90's, they've improved their 3D models to closely resemble the model sheets of cartoon characters.
 * Conspicuous CG: Their studio tends to use 3DCG effects for smoothly animated effect.
 * Follow the Leader: Follows Kirby of the Stars by mixing 3D computer graphics and 2D animation in the Earthworm Jim reboot for the first two seasons dubbed with the name 星のミミズジム (Hoshi no Mimizu Jimu in Romaji, Earthworm Jim of the Stars in English). It also combines their 3D animation work with AKOM's 2D Universal cartoon animation work.
 * Off Model: Averted in their CG animation work.
