AIC RIGHTS

AIC RIGHTS Co., Inc. (株式会社AICライツ, commonly abbreviated AIC-R) is a Japanese anime production company and intellectual property rights holder. It was established in December 2015 through a company split (新設分割) from Anime International Company (AIC), inheriting the majority of AIC's intellectual property. The first representative director, Yasutaka Omura, concurrently served as representative director of AIC until December 2019. The company's primary business is the management and licensing of its inherited IP portfolio, which includes classic anime franchises such as Gall Force, Bubblegum Crisis, Megazone 23, Dangaioh, Zeorymer, Tenchi Muyo!, El-Hazard, Battle Athletes, and others. In addition to licensing, AIC RIGHTS produces new anime works. In April 2021, the television anime Battle Athletes Victory ReSTART!, produced by Animation Studio Seven under license from AIC RIGHTS, began broadcasting. That same month, AIC RIGHTS announced a business partnership with Toei Agency, with plans to jointly produce new works. In January 2023, actor Masahiro Inoue, known for his role in Kamen Rider Decade, became representative director. The company continues to actively manage its IP, including 40th anniversary projects for Megazone 23, and has dealt with legal matters concerning its parent company's shareholders. AIC RIGHTS operates primarily in Japan and maintains an official website and social media presence.
