Animation Studios in Japan

[RotaryPower]

I am a Computer Animation student at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida USA...

I am coming to Japan soon and wanted to find some information on Animation Studios in Japan.

Could anyone give me some information or internet links?

Hi RotaryPower, I'm also into computer animation; mostly because i like anime and manga...

I'm sure that there's plenty of animation studios in Japan but here are some of my favorites:

- Bones (created RahXephon, Wolf's Rain, etc): http://www.bones.co.jp/
- Gonzo (created Last exile, Vandread, etc): http://www.gonzo.co.jp/index2.html
- Makoto ShinKai (created the OVA Hoshi no KOE singlehandedly)

They don't make only computer-assisted animation, but they used a lot of in their recent movies... And aslo, i think they are the more famous worldwide.
