PLAION group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Embracer Group AB, has announced that they've entered into an agreement to acquire Anime Ltd.
This is a huge step forwards for the whole Anime Ltd. team as it allows the company to deliver the highest quality works in Japan across Japanese animation and music to the rest of the European market in addition to the United Kingdom, France and the United States.
"We are looking forward to joining the team of PLAION, with whom we have already successfully collaborated via both our French and Scottish offices. Together, we are in a unique position to deliver a bespoke and streamlined approach for our business in each of the core territories in Europe. I am excited about the opportunities for growth that this deal represents.," says Andrew Partridge, MD and co-founder of Anime Ltd.
"I am happy to see that Anime Ltd. takes the next step in its development and becomes part of a strong entertainment group with a clear vision and a promising strategy. I look forward to being able to further build up our business and unfold Anime Ltd.'s full potential to make Japanese pop culture content even more popular in Europe and the world," says Cedric Littardi, co-founder and chairman of the board at Anime Ltd.
Anime Ltd. will operate as an independent company within PLAION PICTURES (Film Publishing Arm of PLAION), and the current management will continue to run the company. The company will maintain its present release schedule currently, with even more to look forward to on the horizon.
