The Right Stuf International was founded in 1987 and for many years, has been identified

They've done a few interesting things since that, of course, like Tezuka's "Legend of the
Forest" and the Inomata "Leda: Fantastic Adventure of Yohko", but most still think of them
as the company that released Astro Boy.

My Favorite Hangouts
AnimEigo
AnimEigo got started one day in 1988 in Ithaca, NY. One afternoon, while
taking a break from programming, Robert Woodhead was playing with a video board that would
allow him to superimpose Macintosh graphics on video. Roe Adams wandered by and saw this.
Roe was a huge anime fan, and he inquired as to whether it would be possible to use this
hardware to subtitle some of these weird videos he loved. Roe figured that if he could
provide subtitled versions, he'd score big Otaku points. Robert suggested thay they might
actually make money doing this by going to Japan getting licenses and trying to sell the
videos. They both had a good laugh and AnimEigo was born, mostly as something to do on weekends.
White Radish
Award-winning animator and founder of the independent animation studio White Radish,
"Shawn the Touched" has been an early adopter of digital animation tools since 1995,
during which time he has produced five anime shorts, mostly in his "hypercute" style,
including Project Annie May, The Item, Apprentice, The Evil at Tentacle High, and
Cutethulhu. He continues to adopt the latest techniques and technologies to aid in the
completion of the long-awaited Pink Lemonade.
Anime Web Turnpike
The Anime Web Turnpike was founded in August of 1995 by Jay Fubler Harvey as a project to
provide a place where everyone could find anime and manga links in a simple and efficient
manner, regardless of browser.
