[edit] Foreign Productions

In addition, TMS has worked on the following non-Japanese animated series, specials, and films (productions listed are American unless otherwise noted). Also, some, though not all of these productions have had a Japanese dub produced by TMS.

[edit] Notes

  • As of July 2006, TMS Entertainment has been removing AMVs from YouTube which use clips from the show Sonic X due to copyright infringement.[citation needed]
  • In Japan, the abbreviated name ("TMS") is pronounced and spelled "to-mu-su" (トムス).
  • The company's most recent works have been crediting "Tokyo Movie" for animation production and "TMS Entertainment" for general production. It may be for the purpose of distinguishing from productions by the aforementioned Telecom Anime.
  • Despite the name, Tokyo "Movie" Shinsha has never made live-action movies.
  • The company's name literally translates as "New Tokyo Movie Company".
