Salami Studios, the ADR House Behind Monster and Edgerunners, Closes
Salami Studios' ADR work bridged Japanese anime and North American animation, so one studio's closure removes a single point of contact for both sides of a localized sound production pipeline.

Salami Studios announced Monday that it is closing, ending a 30+ year run in audio and video post-production, ANN reports. The company did ADR production for Kekkaishi, Monster, The Prince of Tennis, Star Wars: Visions, Buso Renkin, and Honey and Clover, and handled audio post and dialogue recording for Castlevania: Nocturne. Recent credits include Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners 2.
The studio confirmed the closure on social media, without giving a reason or a date for the shutdown. Salami Studios did keep a full slate until the end: its recent credits include Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners, the Studio Trigger series that landed on Netflix in September 2022, and Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners 2, which is scheduled for Netflix on October 20. Its ADR history also covers Kekkaishi, Monster, The Prince of Tennis, Star Wars: Visions, Buso Renkin and Honey and Clover.
