Studio Gallop

Studio Gallop is an Anime studio that (mainly) specializes in toyetic and Merchandise-Driven anime. Established in 1972, the company didn't really start animating until the early-mid eighties.

Compare (and contrast) Studio DEEN, Sunrise, TMS Entertainment and Toei Animation, four anime studios with a habit of producing franchises that make tons of money. See also Dong Woo Animation, their South Korean partner for several Anime.

Tropes associated with Studio Gallop:

• Animation Bump: Essential for basically any animation studio. Gallop's no exception.
• Conspicuous CG: The reason as to why the original Initial D series is mocked to oblivion. Also present in Yu-Gi-Oh and Transformers.
• Merchandise-Driven: Yu-Gi-Oh and Transformers, both self explanitory.
• Off-Model: Really noticeable in Yu-Gi-Oh. Mocked in Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series:

Joey: Hey, Kaiba! If Marik entered the tournament using a fake name, shouldn't he be disqualified?
Kaiba: The only person who should be disqualified around here is whoever made Tristan black in this shot!
Tristan: Don't you be hating on my blackface, playa!
