Manga Entertainment

Manga Entertainment was a company specializing in the distribution and licensing of Japanese anime, or animated shows and movies, for audiences outside Japan. Established in 1987, it played a key role in bringing popular anime titles to Western markets, particularly in the UK and North America. The company handled dubbing, subtitling, and home video releases, helping to popularize anime in Western countries. Over time, Manga Entertainment was acquired by larger media conglomerates, leading to its integration into broader entertainment groups. Its contributions significantly influenced the growth and accessibility of anime culture internationally.
