A.P.P.P. Co., Ltd., (Japanese: 有限会社アナザープッシュピンプランニング, Hepburn: Yūgen-gaisha Anazā Pusshupin Puranningu, abbreviated from Another Push Pin Planning, pronounced as "A Three P") was a Japanese animation studio founded on 22 June 1984, and based in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan. A subsidiary company called Super Techno Arts distributed many of their properties in North America. The founder of A.P.P.P., Kazufumi Nomura, got his start working at Mushi Production. Since its establishment, A.P.P.P. has contributed to the animation of a very large number of anime films and television series in collaboration with other companies. A.P.P.P. has been primarily credited for works including Project A-ko, Robot Carnival, and Roujin Z. A.P.P.P. remained active as a subcontractor for other studios until its dissolution on 31 July 2021, after Nomura died on 10 June.
