Youtube description translated:

✨📽️ 20th Anniversary Commemorative Video Release 📽️✨

A-1 Pictures celebrated its 20th anniversary on May 9, 2025. As a thank-you to our supportive fans, we're proud to present a special movie packed with highlights from approximately 140 works we've produced so far.

We began with "Zenmai Zamurai," the first title ever created by A-1 Pictures, starting with the letter “Z.” This retrospective traces our journey through the years, leading up to the “A” in A-1 Pictures—symbolizing our forward path.

We’ll continue striving to deliver more enjoyable works to the world. Thank you for your continued support!

A1 is incredibly talented.

The best recent anime adaptation I saw was Makine too many losing Heroines. The attention to detail. And the 2nd ending op visuals. They really didn't have to go that hard but they did

A-1 is one of those coin-flip studios for me. I either absolutely love a show or I hate it with a passion.

A very numerous and impressive list of works. Watching this makes me wanting to go back and re-watch some of those I have a good memory of, and check out more of their works I've not watched.
