History
The company was founded in November 2018 as a joint venture between animation studio White Fox and production, planning and management company Egg Firm. The first work of the studio was on the anime Karakuri Circus for the episodes 22 and 31, while the first work of the company as a lead animation studio is Mushoku Tensei, which debuted in 2021.{{cite web |last=Hodgkins |first=Crystalyn |title=White Fox, Egg Firm Invest in New Anime Company Studio Bind |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-10-19/white-fox-egg-firm-invest-in-new-anime-company-studio-bind/.152399 |website=Anime News Network |date=October 19, 2019 |access-date=October 19, 2019}}
On January 31, 2021, Egg Firm CEO and Mushoku Tensei chief producer Nobuhiro Osawa stated that he built the new production studio for Mushoku Tensei.{{cite web|script-title=ja:アニメ質問状：「無職転生」 ファンタジー世界の大河ドラマ 新スタジオ設立の裏側|url=https://mantan-web.jp/article/20210130dog00m200002000c.html|website=Mantan Web|date=January 31, 2021|access-date=March 20, 2021|language=ja}} In October 2019, production company Egg Firm explained their rationale for setting up a separate studio from the existing White Fox studio, stating they "needed a system that would allow us to move forward with the project in a continuous, long-term, and systematic manner" so they "will be able to concentrate more on the production of Mushoku Tensei." Egg Firm noted that "Studio Bind will use Mushoku Tensei as a launchpad for its full-scale animation production business."{{cite web|script-title=ja:WHITE FOXとEGG FIRMが共同出資で設立 制作会社スタジオバインド|url=http://animationbusiness.info/archives/8655|website=Animation Business Journal|date=October 19, 2019|access-date=March 20, 2021|language=ja}}
