Established in 1989, AnimEigo, Inc. is not only one of the first companies to release Anime in the United States and Canada, but also one of the first companies to release significant numbers of high-quality Japanese live-action films. Over the last 35 years or so, we have consistently broadened the market for Japanese films by finding audiences for entire new genres of films.

Renowned for the quality of our translations, subtitles, and dubbing, we have released many classic anime titles, including “Bubblegum Crisis”, “Urusei Yatsura”, “Kimagure Orange Road”, and “Oh My Goddess!”.

AnimEigo's live action films have included such genres such as Samurai Cinema, Art films, Action, WWII from Japan's perspective, Ninkyo (Yakuza films), Comedy, and more. Titles we have released include include Shogun Assassin, Lone Wolf and Cub, Zatoichi, Lady Snowblood, Sleepy Eyes of Death, the Palm d'Or winning The Ballad of Narayama, Japan's Longest Day, and the Guinness World record holder for longest movies series starring the same actor, Tora-san.

As of April 2024, AnimEigo is part of Justin Sevakis’ MediaOCD group, and they run the main AnimEigo website. This site is devoted to our recent (and a few upcoming) crowdfunded limited-edition projects, which are coordinated by Robert Woodhead and Natsumi Ueki.

Crowdfunding Site Return Policy: If we send you the wrong stuff, or there's a problem with it, contact us and we'll arrange to fix it. If you ordered the wrong stuff, let us know, send it back, and we'll refund the purchase price (less shipping, which often was free anyway). Contact us at trebor@animeigo.com if you have a question or issue that needs resolving.

Terms of Service: We reserve the right to cancel any order (and refund your money) for any reason at any time. So if a programming error means that something is available for 23 cents, or a coupon code gets you 10 times the intended discount, you're out of luck. On the other hand, if you do notice a problem and let us know, we'll be very appreciative!

Privacy Policy: We do not collect any personal information about you, other than what is required to handle orders or other things you do on the site. We keep that information private, and do not sell or transfer it to anyone.
