Financial problems
On December 20, 2017, animator Teru Miyazaki posted then deleted a tweet on Twitter stating that an anime studio, implied to be Production IMS, was not paying its animators.[2] On June 7 the following year, credit research company Tokyo Shoko Research reported that Production IMS began consolidating its debts and that the staff was considering filing for bankruptcy.[3] The company did later file for bankruptcy on September 21, 2018, and closed on October 11 of the same year.[4]
