History
Grizzly was established on December 25, 2017,[2] and formally unveiled at Anime Japan on March 23, 2018, with the announcement that the studio would adapt Yarichin Bitch Club into a series of original video animations (OVAs).[3]
An affiliation between Grizzly and MAPPA has been reported,[4] after the MAPPA Twitter account posted and deleted material that was later posted on the Grizzly account, and after the Grizzly website was found to be registered using a MAPPA email.[3] As of 2021[update], neither MAPPA nor Grizzly have commented on a link between their studios.[citation needed]
