Aplix IP Holdings announced on Monday that it has transferred all of the stock of its animation subsidiary Anime International Company ( AIC ) to Toru Miura , AIC 's current representative director and Aplix's company director. Aplix sold the 8,000 shares for 8,000 yen (about US$77) total.

Miura established the studio that would become AIC on July 15, 1982, and the studio co-produced Megazone 23 in 1985. The company has since been involved in more than 200 anime titles, including AD Police , Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: The Movie , Ai no Kusabi , Ah! My Goddess , Tenchi Muyo! , ToHeart - Remember my memories , Solty Rei , Special A , Heaven's Lost Property , and Oreimo . More recently AIC has produced Wandering Son , Persona 4 , Humanity Has Declined , Date A Live , and Persona 3 the Movie #1 Spring of Birth . AIC has a number of sub-studios within itself: AIC Digital , AIC Spirits , AIC ASTA , AIC PLUS+ , AIC Frontier , and AIC Takarazuka .

Aplix purchased AIC as a wholly-owned subsidiary for 700 million yen (at the time about US$8.5 million) in 2011. Aplix bought the company from pachinko maker Oizumi, which previously purchased 95% of AIC in 2010 for 530 million yen (US$6.3 million).

Aplix also announced on Monday that it is transferring all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary game development company G-mode (total of 113,183 shares) to the company ONE-UP for 750 million yen (about US$7.2 million). Aplix will formalize the transfer on January 31.

Aplix made G-mode its subsidiary in January 2010, and then made it Aplix's core company of multimedia entertainment in December 2011. Aplix explained that after the sudden death of G-mode 's president Takeshi Miyaji in 2011, the company's endeavors in the anime and manga markets did not improve as a result of the merger, even though the company made efforts to restructure. As a result, Aplix decided to sell G-mode even though G-mode 's smartphone game development was profitable. G-mode 's new parent company ONE -UP is a game developer that develops mainly for smartphones.

G-mode produced last year's Angel's Drop television anime, as well as 2012's Katayoku no Khronos Gear video anime.
