Aniplex Inc.

Established as a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan, the company's venture into boutique game publishing has bridged the gap between niche Japanese cult classics and global audiences. Through its partnership with developer Type-Moon, the publisher facilitated the high-profile revival of the Tsukihime franchise. This began with the Japanese launch of Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon (2021) and its accompanying Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon [Limited Edition] (2021), which completely overhauled the seminal 2000 visual novel with modernized visuals and expanded scenarios. This collaboration continued with the Western localization of Witch on the Holy Night [Limited Edition] (2023), marking a milestone as the first Type-Moon visual novel to receive an official English translation.

Additionally, the company's distribution efforts preserved influential indie and retro titles. By publishing the Nintendo Switch port of Moon (2019) and the physical Moon [Premium Edition] (2020), they allowed international players to experience the 1997 "anti-RPG" in English for the first time. This commitment to celebrated indie properties was further demonstrated through the console publishing of the remastered psychological horror game Ib (2024).
