==Career==

The company, which began as an importer of anime, marketing primarily to the existing network of anime fans, rapidly expanded and soon had its own dedicated dubbing studios and a distribution network that also handled international marketing, licensing and North American home video distribution for a wide variety of other programming, including non-ADV produced animated titles such as ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', ''[[Robotech]]'', ''[[Hello Kitty]]'' and ''[[ReBoot]]'', and a diverse lineup of live action programming that ranged from Japanese horror and kaiju productions such as ''[[Gamera: Guardian of the Universe]]'', ''[[Daimajin]]'' and the all-time [[Godzilla]] classic ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''.
