This Chinese outsourcing studio goes by the name 無錫誠品動画制作有限公司, or simply 誠品動画, in kanji, but in English, on this site especially, its name tends to vary. As of now, there is a count of four different pages for this one studio:
Seihin Animation company#7910 Eslite Animation company#8902 Cheng Pin Animation company#9999 Seishin Quarity Animation Production company#17108 However, determining the true name of this studio is debatable, with arguments for all four. For Seihin Animation, episode 50 of Battle Spirits: Brave credits the studio under the name "SeiHin", its Japanese translation. However, the credits for Twin Star Exorcists and Black Clover, both more recent than Battle Spirits: Brave, credit it under Seishin Quarity Animation. An inaccurate romanization of the Japanese for "誠品", but considering the studio is the favorite overseas outsourcer of Pierrot, who worked on both Twin Star Exorcists and Black Clover, neither of which credit the studio in kanji, it stands to reason that Seishin is this same entity. Cheng Pin and Eslite, meanwhile, lack the luxury of being spelled out in the credits outside of their kanji equivalents, though support can be found for them through other means. AniDB's "we only officially credit people and companies in English if we're absolutely sure of the romanization" methods suggest that the company's official name is Chengpin DongHua, which makes sense considering "Cheng Pin" is the correct way of pronouncing "誠品" in Chinese. The company's listing in a database of Chinese and Korean studio name translations appears to corroborate this theory, even confirming the studio's dual identity as Seishin. Eslite, meanwhile, comes from numerous unofficial translations of the studio name by compilers of overseas studios, all of which appear to tie to the China-based Eslite Bookstore, a separate entity from the animation studio. Based on these facts, I believe that Cheng Pin Animation is the correct name, and that the data from the other pages should be merged into its page. |
