Connect(Japanese: Connect, Hepburn: Konekuto; stylized as CONNECT) is a Japanese animation studio that is a division of Silver Link. The studio was initially founded as a separate company, Connect, Inc.(Japanese: 株式会社コネクト, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Konekuto) in April 2012 as a subsidiary of Silver Link, but was later wholly absorbed and dissolved into its parent company on July 17, 2020, and it subsequently became a sub-studio within the company.

History

A majority of Connect's early works are co-productions with its parent company. Starting with the Monster Strike web anime, the studio was working less with its parent company, producing solo productions such as Senryu Girl, Oresuki, and The Honor Student at Magic High School.
