XEBEC M2

ジーベック・エムツー

XEBEC Inc. (Kabushiki-gaisha Jibekku) was a former Japanese anime production company. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of IG Port Co., Ltd.
In 1994, Production I.G and Ashi Productions co-produced the TV anime "BLUE SEED". On May 1, 1995, the company was established in Kokubunji, Tokyo, as a subsidiary of Production I.G. Three staff members founded the company: Shimoji Shizuo, a director who served as production producer at Ashi Productions; Sato Toru (Jiro Nankyoku), who handled literature; and Habara Nobuyoshi, an animator.
On October 3, 1995, the company produced its first work, "Bakuretsu Hunters". In 1996, it produced "Let's & Go!!" and "Martian Successor Nadesico". Following the production of "Let's & Go!!", the company continued its business relationship with Shogakukan and Shogakukan Shueisha Productions, creating many animation works related to game software and toys tied to Shogakukan's "CoroCoro Comic".
On September 4, 1999, the company produced "Zoids", achieving a fusion of hand-drawn animation and 3DCG. In 2002, they established Triple A Co., Ltd. in Tanashi-cho, Nishitokyo-shi, Tokyo, as an affiliated company.
In 2003, they welcomed Hideyuki Motohashi, formerly of Studio Z5, and established the production studio "XEBEC M2" in Seki-cho, Nerima-ku, Tokyo. "Peto Peto-san" (2005) was produced as a prime contractor under the name XEBEC M2.
In 2005, they dissolved their capital relationship with Triple A by selling their shares[3]. On April 8, 2006, they produced their first full-length 3DCG work, "Sarugetchu: On Air".
On November 1, 2007, they became a consolidated subsidiary of the holding company IG Port when Production I.G became a holding company.
In 2009, XEBEC M2 was dissolved when Motohashi left the company. Some staff members were transferred to the Nerima studio "XEBECzwei" (Shakujiidai, Nerima-ku, Tokyo).
