Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Manga Entertainment Ltd. was an entertainment and media production, licensing, and distribution company primarily operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Despite its name, it mostly distributed anime, though it did publish some manga under its Manga Books imprint. Founded in London in 1987 as "Island World Communications" by Chris Blackwell and Andy Frain, it was originally a subsidiary of Island Records' Island World Group. It purchased L.A. Hero in 1993 to form its American branch Manga U.S., while it continued operating in the British Isles as Manga UK, eventually also expanding into the Australian market beginning later in 1993. The company distributed several kaiju films in the United Kingdom during its existence. Through its Manga Live label, the company released Toho's international versions of Gunhed and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and Godzilla vs. Mothra to VHS in 1994 and 1995, respectively. In 1999, it released Gamera the Guardian of the Universe to VHS and later to DVD in 2002 under its Manga Video label. Rather than use ADV Films' existing English-language version of the film which had been released in North American markets, Manga produced its own version with a new English dub produced by Arrival Films and a new techno music score provided by Truelove Label Collective. The company licensed Shin Godzilla from Funimation and released it to theaters, then to Blu-ray and DVD in 2017. This time, it included the English dub which had already been produced by Funimation, as well as the original Japanese audio track. |
