SILVER LINK., Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社シルバーリンク, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Shirubā Rinku) is a Japanese animation studio. It was founded by ex-Frontline animation producer Hayato Kaneko in December 2007 and is based in Tokyo.

History[]

After the company's establishment in 2007, Shin Oonuma, who was previously a director alongside Shaft directors Akiyuki Shinbo and Tatsuya Oishi, joined the studio. A majority of Silver Link's productions have involved Oonuma as a director or co-director since his joining of the studio. The company had also owned two subsidiaries: BEEP Co., Ltd, a subcontracting animation studio, and CONNECT, Inc, a studio that started off co-producing series with Silver Link, and has since expanded into producing its own works. Both subsidiaries have since been dissolved by the studio.

On February 1, 2016, Beep was absorbed into Silver Link, with SILVER LINK. Overseas Division being established in its place, taking over Beep's overseas operations.[1] Though, Silver Link Overseas Department may credit themselves as "BEEP", as it will remain a brand of the overseas department.

On July 17, 2020, it was announced that Silver Link would be wholly absorbing and dissolving Connect, and that all rights managed by the company would be transferred to Silver Link.[2] However, Connect will still continue to operate as a sub-studio within Silver Link.

On August 3, 2020, it was announced that Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings had acquired Silver Link for 250 million yen.[3][4]

On October 1, 2020, the animation production business was split off from the company, and as a result SILVER LINK., Inc was formed, receiving the transfer of the animation production business. Also on the same day, Silver Link (old company) would change its company name to SILVER LINK. Asset Management Co., Ltd.[5]
