Seven Arcs Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社Seven Arcs, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Sebun Ākusu) is a Japanese anime production company and former studio, established on May 31, 2002, by former Pierrot and Studio Kikan-affiliated staff who had established studio Arcturus prior in 2000 with the intent of making animated series. The studio made its first animated television series, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, in 2004. Since then, the company has produced a number of other animated television series and movies.
In 2012, the animation section was split off by forming Seven Arcs Pictures Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社Seven Arcs Pictures, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Sebun Ākusu Pikuchāzu) as a subsidiary company. Since then, Seven Arcs has had its business in animation planning and licence management. On December 26, 2017, the company was acquired by Tokyo Broadcasting System. Seven Arcs Pictures, Seven Arcs, and Arcturus merged on October 1, 2019, reforming as the single company Seven Arcs.
The title of the studio refers to the 7th of the 12 principles of animation.
