GeeXPlus Launched GeeXProductions for Creator-Led Anime Projects
GeeXPlus unveiled GeeXProductions at Anime Expo 2025 with three creator-led projects from Gigguk, DillonGoo and OtakuVS. Here is what is confirmed.

GeeXPlus, the Tokyo creator-management company, launched GeeXProductions at Anime Expo on July 3 to 4, 2025. The division helps online creators turn their own ideas into anime and opened with three projects: Gigguk's Bâan, DillonGoo's Soul Mart and OtakuVS's Otachan! Rabbit Season.

What was announced and what followed

Anime Corner reported that the division launched with three flagship projects. Bâan is an isekai short set in the world of Euthania, directed by Yoshimitsu Ohashi with music by Kevin Penkin and animation by Studio Daisy. Soul Mart is a webcomic and anime set in a near-future convenience store where demons buy human souls. Otachan! Rabbit Season is a traditionally animated action series influenced by 1990s anime.

For Bâan, Anime Corner reported a Tokyo premiere on August 24, 2025 at Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro, and Anitrendz reported that the short would be released worldwide on Gigguk's YouTube channel on September 20, 2025. We did not independently confirm the YouTube release afterward. As of November 2026 we found no confirmed premiere date for Soul Mart or Otachan!.

Background

Executive producer Rick Gao said the company wanted to use "our unique position as part of the Kadokawa Group", per Anime Corner. Creators with large audiences have made anime shorts before, but a dedicated division inside a management company is a more structured route.

What it means

Our analysis: the model is attractive because a creator brings an audience and a distributor-ready brand, while a Japanese partner brings studios and staff. The open question is delivery. Projects like these live or die on whether finished episodes arrive on schedule and hold their quality, and the public record on that is still thin. The best test is whether the second and third projects reach release as cleanly as the first one was planned to.
