History
Actas was founded on July 6, 1998 by Hiroshi Katō and Jūtarō Ōba, who previously worked for Tatsunoko Production and Ashi Productions.[2]
Following Katō's death in 2009, Shunpei Maruyama was named the new company president. The studio also had a subsidiary animation studio Karaku, but Actas merged it with the main company in July 2017.
In September 2017, Bandai Visual has announced that it had acquired Actas.[3]

Notes
gollark: The bot might be using a different media processing stack and play something which implodes Chrome's without any issues.
gollark: I don't think I've ever actually had any crashing-GIF issues anyway since I run Discord in Firefox.
gollark: If the issues were known about, they could just be fixed.
gollark: They work by exploiting unintended features of the code parsing them.
gollark: Or at all really.
