Motorcycle gang riding into the distant blue intro. What's going on?

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

I've seen this intro so many times.

First it was at Karakuri Circus produced by MAPPA, then Dororo also by MAPPA, but then Vinland Saga by Wit Studio was consumed by the motorcycles and this season's Babylon by REVOROOT joins in. That's four seasons in a row started by the motorcycle gang by three different studios.

What am I out of the loop on?

Edit: found a YouTube video. Apparantly Studio Voln does this too.

Didn't the comments in the youtube video already tell you?

Mappa, Wig, Geno, Revoroot and Voln studios are all ex Madhouse co-workers that started in Mappa 2011 and then went on to make their own studios. Mappa and Voln co-produced together, hence they all used the motorcycle intro from Mappa from the Twin Engines anime.

@crazybars comment didn't really show any source so I assume that it's more speculation than fact.

Another point if it's two studios I can sort of understand but at this point there are four different studios.

Plus Wit's other works don't have the motorcycle intro so do they outsource workers especially for Vinland Saga or something else I'm unaware of?

Oh alright, I think I found some reddit pages on this subject. The motorcycle opening thing might be a Twin Engines thing, they are the production company that hires studios, it would make sense for them to use their own video intro instead of the smaller company's ones.

@crazybars Oh wow thx for the link, now I finally know what's really going on. Especially with this.

It apparantly comes from studio's from Lerche to Revoroot and so many titles are here.

Now my curiosity is satiated, thx a lot!
