Enoki Films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enoki Films is a producer of anime based in Tokyo.

Enoki Films also has a North American division, established in 1986^[1], headquartered in the Encino area of Los Angeles, California called "Enoki Films USA." Enoki Films USA acts as a middle-man between Japanese companies and American licensees such as 4Kids Entertainment and Saban. In May 2007 it was announced that their content would also be provided as video on demand by Internet startup ReelTime.com (worldwide except Japan).^[1]

Of note is that some of the anime productions they list on their website are under alternate names that bear little resemblance to their original Japanese titles. In many cases, when sub-licensed to anime home video companies, the original titles have been restored.
