{{Nihongo|GEMBA Inc.|株式会社ゲンバ|Kabushiki-gaisha Genba|lead=yes}} is a Japanese animation studio specializes in the production of 3DCG animation and anime.
Establishment
The company was established in 2006 as a sub-contracting studio and subsidiary of Digital Frontier that specialized in 3DCG production. In 2016, Gemba released its first production as a primary contractor, an iteration of Kentaro Miura's Berserk co-animated with 2D studio Millepensee. Despite a decade of experience with 3DCG, the series received harsh criticism towards its CG animation from viewers and critics alike.{{Cite web |url= https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/berserk/episodes-1-3/.104402|title= Review: Berserk Episodes 1-3|publisher= AnimeNewsNetwork|author= Jacob Chapman|date= July 17, 2016|access-date= March 9, 2019}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXIsgBvxKF8|title= Is Berserk (2016) Worth Watching? - First Reaction of Eps 1-4|publisher= YouTube|author= Tristan Gallant a.k.a.
