The studio changed its name to P.A. Works in 2002. The main office is located in Toyama Prefecture, where drawings and digital photography take place, and production and direction in the office.
Since being founded in 1984, the company has worked in collaboration with various companies to create animated films and television series. The company currently remains as a subcontractor for other studios and is credited for co-producing and providing animation assistance.
A.P.P.P. is abbreviated from Another Push Pin Planning and is pronounced as "A Three P".
Although a rather divisive show, Angel Beats is without a doubt an extremely iconic one. The story begins when Yuzuru Otonashi wakes up in the afterlife, unable to remember his life before that point, and is approached by Yuri Nakamura, a girl who invites him to become part of the Afterlife Battlefront.
While these days, anime based on light novels are a dime a dozen, anime based on full-length novels are much fewer and further between. One for the horror fans, Another is about a student, Kouichi Sakakibara, who transfers into a new school.
Almost the polar opposite of Another despite likewise being based on a literary novel, The Eccentric Family / Uchouten Kazoku is practically bursting at the seams with life and energy.
While the majority of P.A. Works shows contain some form of magic or at least a touch of the supernatural, Shirobako stands out as a slice-of-life comedy/drama about a group of young women doing their best to make a living, while also keeping their high school dream of creating their own mainstream anime alive.

However, the series has certainly proven that it has what it takes to be one of the best P.A.
