is a Japanese animation studio that was established in February 2009.
History The studio was founded in 2009 by former Gonzo producer Osamu Nagai, who acts as the company's representative director.
The studio has not been credited in an anime since 2021 which indicates that the studio may be inactive or defunct. Shinya Ueda, an animation producer with the studio from 2014 to 2020, left and took former Hoods staff members (such as production manager and director Ryou Nakamura) to his new studio Staple Entertainment. However, freelance animator Kiyoshi Tateishi, a common collaborator of Hoods Entertainment, lists on his Facebook page his freelancing work experience as "Hoods Entertainment (Staple Entertainment)" after working on Staple Entertainment's first production (Vermeil in Gold); furthermore, Staple Entertainment's studio address is the same as Hoods Entertainment's headquarters, indicating that Hoods Entertainment may be defunct with Staple Entertainment taking over.
