History

Having been established in September 1995 as a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan under the name SPE Music Publishing, the company received capital investment from Sony Music Entertainment Japan in January 1997, changing its name to SPE Visual Works. After becoming a joint venture between SPEJ and SMEJ, it inherited Sony Music Group video productions, excluding SMEJ artists' music videos, in January 1998.

On January 1, 2001, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan and changed its name to SME Visual Works. On April 1, 2003, it rebranded to its current name, Aniplex, which is coined from "a complex of rights business derived from animation."

In 2004, Aniplex launched the Sugi Label in collaboration with composer Koichi Sugiyama, who is known for their work on the Dragon Quest series soundtracks. The label was sold to King Records in 2009.

In March 2005, Aniplex established Aniplex of America, a US-based subsidiary in Santa Monica, California, to expand its overseas licensing and distribution business in English-speaking regions and the North and South American markets. On May 9, 2005, it founded A-1 Pictures, a wholly-owned animation studio. Originally established to oversee the production of a few family-oriented series, the company has since expanded the range of its production work.

On March 20, 2015, Aniplex and German anime distributor Peppermint Enterprises announced the establishment of Peppermint Anime GmbH, a joint venture inheriting Peppermint's anime operations to develop and strengthen the Japanese animation business in German-speaking countries. The joint venture was part of Aniplex's efforts to expand its overseas footprint and marks the beginning of its European expansion. In April 2015, Aniplex announced that it had invested in Wakanim, a French anime streaming service operator, becoming its largest shareholder. The companies aim to expand the platform availability beyond French-speaking countries to further develop the European anime market.

In collaboration with Aniplex, SACRA MUSIC aims to strengthen its overseas expansion efforts and promote its artists' activities on a global scale by participating in events and holding overseas concerts.

On September 4, 2017, Aniplex announced a capital and business alliance with Revolve, which is involved in the planning, development, and production of figures, becoming its largest shareholder.
