The (Present and) Future of Science Saru

As a bit of a preface, it was announced in this article that the animation studio Science Saru would be purchased outright from CEO Eun-young Choi on June 19th of this year.

It's big news, and definitely has been eliciting quite a few knee-jerk reactions to it, so I wanted to throw my 2 cents out there in a bit of a more casual format.

First of all, Science Saru was not bought because of financial struggles. Just in 2023- largely thanks to the success of the Scott Pilgrim anime- Science Saru recorded nearly a doubling (90%) in terms of their operating revenue as a studio.

It's a massive number, and helps to prove that the studio is not strapped for cash in any sense. By the same token though, it doesn't necessarily mean that the purchase was made in 110% good faith from both parties- but I do want to make a case that it is the most probable reasoning.

After all, Eunyoung Choi hasn't yet announced that they'll step down after the purchase, and Toho is allowing Science Saru to remain as a subsidiary of their growing animation division.

Similarly, look at what Toho Animation is doing as of late. They made massive waves with their work in The Apothecary Diaries, and are angling to place webgen wonderchild China (yes, that's their full name) as a cornerstone of their studio. From there, you just have to consider the trailer for the Godzilla-centered original anime First Line, as well as China's long time partnership/friendship with Moa Ang (who's the character designer for Naoko Yamada's Garden of Remembrance), and you realize that between the two entities there is a strong creative bond.

Piecing it all together, it really just feels like there's a strong backing from creatives on both sides of the field. With that in mind, it really feels like this buyout is about Science Saru having access to more funds, a greater talent pool, and more opportunity.

In a sense, it's hard not to. As of right now, Science Saru has four announced anime projects- two movies (both from Naoko Yamada), and two very big TV anime series. Considering the sheer popularity of Dandadan, and the mythic history of Ghost in The Shell, and you come to the natural conclusion that you really need every tool at your disposal to find success.

All of this is really just some rambling to put my thoughts together on the move, and Saru's future, but the more I continue to look closer and closer, the harder it is to explicitly pin ill intent on either party in this transaction. Toho is breaking into the animation market with the anime boom, and Science Saru wants to take themselves to the next level. It's a natural conclusion in this industry (almost). So rather than being overly pessimistic, I'm more so looking forward to what Toho is able to provide for Science Saru, and what kind of work we'll be seeing down the road.
