Tim Anderson, President and CEO of Madman Anime Group, has confirmed with ANN that Aniplex Inc. has invested in the company.
ANN also asked Anderson if Madman’s release strategy would change for Aniplex titles to mirror Aniplex USA’s release model.
He added that Aniplex also supports Madman’s other newer activities, such as “VOD business (AnimeLab), theatrical activity, and the recent expansion into events including Madman Anime Festival.”
The company launched the Madman Anime Festival in 2016, and it has hosted the event Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane.
