History
of Anime in the U.S.
Pioneer's Animation Division
 A
company which has been in business for some time, though, is Pioneer.
A branch of the monstrous LDCA (LaserDisc Corporation of America),
Pioneer's animation division scored huge early on with the almost
unknown Tenchi Muyo OVA set. These quickly became standards in the
industry, and with Pioneer's willingness to advertise and their
commitment to Laserdisc (hardly surprising considering their lineage),
this quickly landed this program on most fans "must see" lists.
Although they've also released other very interesting stuff like
El Hazard, Armitage III, and are now actively releasing (and promoting)
Dragonball Z, they seem destined to be remembered for the Tenchi
set. There are worse things to be remembered for, though.
