Line 1: {{creator}} [[File:Madman.jpg\|~~frame~~thumb\|300px\|Best. Logo. Ever.]] {{quote\|''"Running a team of vigilante bounty hunters is something that I've always aspired to do."''\|Madman co-founder '''Tim Anderson''', from an extra on the Australian DVD release of ''[[~~Bubblegum Crisis (Anime)\|~~Bubblegum Crisis]] 2032'', the company's first acquisition}} Originally beginning in 1996 solely to distribute anime in [[Land Down Under\|Australia]], [http://www.madman.com.au Madman Entertainment] has grown into one of the largest entertainment companies in [[~~Useful~~Australia ~~Notes/Australia~~(country)\|Australia]] and [[~~Useful Notes/New Zealand\|~~New Zealand]], accounting for 97 percent of all anime DVD sales in Australia, with an annual turnover of around $50 million AUD. Madman has secured the local release rights to a number of very popular franchises including ''[[~~One Piece (Manga)\|~~One Piece]]'', ''[[~~Dragon Ball (Manga)\|~~Dragon Ball]]'', ''[[~~Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)\|~~Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', ''[[~~Akira (Manga)\|~~Akira]]'', ''[[~~Naruto (Manga)\|~~Naruto]]'', ''[[~~Bleach (Manga)\|~~Bleach]]'', and almost all of [[Studio Ghibli]]'s catalogue. In addition to DVD sales, Madman also manages the theatrical release of some of their titles, particularly the [[Studio Ghibli]] movies. Madman also sub license anime from [[Bandai Entertainment]], [[FUNimation]], [[Harmony Gold]], [[Sentai Filmworks]], [[Viz Media]], and formerly [[ADV Films]] and [[Geneon]]. Madman has always acted as the distributor for Manga's products until 2003 when [[Manga Entertainment]] Australia Ltd merged with Madman. This happened so if Manga lost a license in Australia, Madman would pick it up. If Madman Entertainment lost the license for anime from American companies, Manga UK would sub-license anime to Madman. Line 15: Seriously, Madman distributes a ''ton'' of product, and only part of it is anime and manga (although they have a near monopoly on both mediums in their part of the world). There's way too much to list it all here, so we refer you to other sites: [http://www.animenewsnetwork.~~com~~cc//encyclopedia/company.php?id=1372 Anime News Network's listing of Madman anime and manga] {{reflist}} [[Category:Useful Notes/Australia]] [[Category:~~Producers~~Production Companies]] [[Category:Madman Entertainment]]
