{{Nihongo|'''Gonzo K.K.'''|株式会社ゴンゾ|Kabushiki-gaisha Gonzo|lead=yes}} (formerly '''GDH K.K.''')  is a Japanese [[anime]] studio owned by [[Asatsu-DK|ADK]]  that was established on February 22, 2000. Gonzo is a member of [[The Association of Japanese Animations]]. The company's predecessor '''Gonzo Inc.''' was established on February 11, 1992, by former [[Gainax]] staff members, but was later absorbed into its parent company, GDH K.K. on April 1, 2009, and it would assume the Gonzo trade name for itself.

Gonzo has not released a major animation project since 2020, with ''[[Phantasy Star Online 2#Anime adaptation|Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode Oracle]]'' being the studio's latest major work; the company has been focusing on the [[Non-fungible token|NFT]] market with its projects ''Samurai Cryptos'' and ''Samurai Religion,''<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cayanan |first=Joanna |date=2024-10-16 |title=Gonzo to Reveal New Promo Video for 'SAMURAI cryptos' NFT/Blockchain Project on October 15 |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-10-10/gonzo-to-reveal-new-promo-video-for-samurai-cryptos-nft-blockchain-project-on-october-15/.216566 |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Anime News Network |language=en}}</ref> as well as co-distributing the animated film ''[[They Shot the Piano Player]]'' in Japan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GONZO、映画『ボサノヴァ～撃たれたピアニスト』日本配給決定！{{!}} GONZO |url=https://www.gonzo.co.jp/press/20250116.html |access-date=2025-02-27 |website=www.gonzo.co.jp}}</ref>

==Financial issues==
The studio had a financial problem in their closing account in the 2008–2009 term and stated its deficit was estimated over US$30 million. The Tokyo Stock Exchange announced that on July 30, 2009, Gonzo would be delisted from the exchange.  This delisting is the conclusion of a notification made to investors in March 2008 that the studio's financial liabilities exceeded its total financial assets.  Since Gonzo was unable to reverse this, paperwork for delisting was filed at the end of June.<ref name="ANN062909">{{cite web|title= Tokyo Stock Exchange to Delist Gonzo on July 30|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-06-29/tokyo-stock-exchange-to-delist-gonzo-on-july-30|publisher=Anime News Network|date=June 29, 2009|access-date=June 29, 2009}}</ref>

The studio is still able to operate, and its parent company GDH has absorbed it in an effort to consolidate management. The combined company now simply refers to itself as Gonzo.<ref name="ANN021809">{{cite web|title=GDH to Absorb Its Gonzo Subsidiary, Adopt Gonzo's Name|url= http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-02-18/gdh-to-absorb-its-gonzo-subsidiary-adopt-gonzo-name|publisher=Anime News Network|date=February 18, 2009|access-date=June 6, 2009}}</ref> By April 2009, the merger was complete.

As part of the restructuring, GDH also sold the Gonzo Rosso game development subsidiary, GDH Capital financing subsidiary, and remaining shares of Tablier Communications initially acquired in March 2006.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-03-31/gonzo-parent-company-to-sell-off-game-subsidiary Gonzo's Parent Company to Sell Off Game Subsidiary.

Since this deficit, Gonzo has started to post better earnings due to the release of titles such as ''Rosario + Vampire'' to western online streaming services such as Netflix. The marketing of these products to western audiences has returned Gonzo to financial stability, and Gonzo posted higher than expected profit margins in the April–September 2012 period.<ref>{{cite news|title=Anime/Game Studio Gonzo Posts Higher Earnings, Profit|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-01-02/anime/game-studio-gonzo-posts-higher-earnings-profit|access-date=October 7, 2015|publisher=Anime News Network|date=January 3, 2013}}</ref>
