Enoki Films also had a North American division, Enoki Films USA, Inc., established in 1986,[3] and headquartered in the Encino area of Los Angeles, California, United States.[4] Enoki Films USA acted as a middle-man between Japanese companies and American licensees, such as 4Kids Entertainment and Saban. In May 2007, their content was made available as video on demand through the internet startup ReelTime.com (worldwide, except Japan).[3]
As of 2002, Enoki licensed anime but sub-licensed these licenses to various distributors instead of distributing directly. According to Anime News Network, "They generally only license TV shows that they hope to also license to TV broadcasters such as Cartoon Network, ABC Family and Fox Kids".[5]
Some of the anime productions listed on Enoki's website appeared under alternate names, and characters may also have been listed under different names. In many cases, when sub-licensed to anime home video companies, the original titles and character names were restored. Enoki's translations of episode titles and scenarios sometimes differed from those in the official release.
If Enoki's series had a separate movie or direct-to-video production, Enoki usually did not license those. The film or direct-to-video production was often licensed to a separate company, as seen with the Slayers movies and OVAs, and the Utena movie.
Enoki Films' North American division ceased operations in 2010 and is now defunct.
In addition to distributing anime, Enoki Films USA also distributed puppet shows, such as Peppermint Park and Star Fleet.[6]
History
