Major American Anime Companies

Postby ZeWrestler » Sat Aug 31, 2002 7:20 pm

Hey,

I am woundering what the major companies that bring Anime over to America are. Companies like Pioneer for example.

The Right Stuf maintains a page with links to all (?) of the stateside anime companies:
http://www.rightstuf.com/manufacturer/manufacturer.shtml
Some of those companies are hentai distributors, so beware of what you click for.

AIC's English site is here:

Funimation does, or are at least starting out in producing anime titles. They barely don't have much besides DB/DBZ/DB-GT, Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu Yu Hakusho, and they aslo have this other show that I forgot about, and it isn't out yet. Funimation isn't THAT bad.

Yes, I think that Fruit Basket is what I was talking about when I mentioned they had another title under their belts. I thought it was Fruit Basket, yet I couldn't be sure, that is why I didn't say Fruit Basket.

Who could forget the biggest ego in anime this side of the Pacific, Steve Bennet's Studio Iorncat. (Bennet may be spelled wrong)

There should be a (,) after Bennet"s. It"s not like the studio could have a ego... unless...

"ponders personification of studio creator to studio" :?
