## Overview

Anime Studio is a Unity asset extraction tool with GUI and CLI entry points. The principal workflow selects a game format, loads Unity bundle or directory inputs, parses and browses assets, then previews or exports chosen content. A separate asset-map workflow builds, saves, relocates, and compares maps for large installs. The tree and excerpts support the CLI, game-format selection, asset loading, and animation decompression layers; GUI internals and several documented capabilities are represented only at their enclosing source directories because their implementations were not sampled.

Main entry points: [`AnimeStudio.CLI/Program.cs`](https://github.com/escartem/animestudio/blob/master/AnimeStudio.CLI/Program.cs) (CLI runner), [`AnimeStudio/AssetsManager.cs`](https://github.com/escartem/animestudio/blob/master/AnimeStudio/AssetsManager.cs) (Asset loader), [`AnimeStudio`](https://github.com/escartem/animestudio/tree/master/AnimeStudio) (Browse and filter), [`AnimeStudio.GUI/Program.cs`](https://github.com/escartem/animestudio/blob/master/AnimeStudio.GUI/Program.cs) (GUI app)
