Studio Gokumi's first production was an original video animation for Koe de Oshigoto! at the end of 2010. In spring 2011, A Channel debuted as the first anime television series for the studio. Production of Saki was taken over by Studio Gokumi for the Saki: Achiga-hen season, which aired from April 9 to July 2, 2012.
