Gonzo

Gonzo K.K. (株式会社ゴンゾ,) is a Japanese anime studio owned by ADK that was established on February 22, 2000. They are known for creation many popular anime's such as Hellsing, Afro Samurai and Full Metal Panic!.

Information
Gonzo was published by former Gainax members, and was shortly re-branded as "Gonzo K.K.". They had also suffered from Financial Issues on 2009, but eventually recovered from it; earning more after the release of many of its titles to Streaming sites, including Netflix.

Hellsing
Gonzo was the studio that previously animated the original Hellsing TVA, which was in production around 1999; which would've made talks about an Hellsing anime began around 1998. In addition, they were a completely new studio at the time; because of this fact, Gonzo hired talented staff including the likes of Chiaki J. Konaka, Umanosuke Iida, ect. The only known people who had never worked on an anime before was the musician, Yasushi Ishii.

The series however, still suffers from many issues such as the low budget; making some animations look choppy, however, it's noticeable that the staff used the budget they were given very wisely, making the action sequences that Hellsing is known for, look more fluid than that of the basic interactions between characters. In addition, many of it's animation was out-sourced to studios like the previously mentioned Gainax. Also, Gonzo was producing another anime at the time.

Hellsing: Ultimate
Gonzo's parent company, G.D.H was somewhat involved in the production of the OVA, being the Asian and European license holder. Despite this, they're not significantly involved within the production of the series.

Licensing
Both of the Hellsing anime was licensed by Geneon, which was defunct and was eventually rescued by Funimation. In addition, many of Gonzo's title were also licensed by the companies, so it wasn't exactly surprising. Because of the fact that Geneon had previously licensed the original Hellsing TVA, they were able to brought back many of its English Dub Voice Actors back for the OVA, and the decision to again cast the same actors for many of the characters was final. After Geneon was defunct, both of the Hellsing titles was rescued by Funimation.

Also, interesting to note is that Geneon merged with Universal Studios Japan, creating NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan. And in 19th of May 2022, they had released a video of Hellsing's opening for the 30th anniversary of the music; in which, they post Openings and Endings daily.
