In 2011, âge created its own parent company "ixtl" as a rights management company for âge's content, particularly the Muv-Luv franchise. The company was jointly held by CEO Takashi Nakanishi, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, and Good Smile Company. In 2017, avex pictures acquired ixtl[3] (and thus âge), and later changed the company's name to "aNCHOR".[4]
