Streamline Pictures
Foundation date:
1987
About:
Founded by former Harmony Gold employee Carl Macek, Streamline Pictures was the first company in North America to release anime titles in their entirety. Their first two releases were AKIRA Production Report (1989) and Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 masterpiece AKIRA (1990).
In the mid-1990s, as anime continued to grow a larger fan following in North America, Streamline inked a distribution deal with Orion Pictures to release their titles to more stores across the U.S. at lower prices.
Streamline Pictures went out of business in 1999. Majority of their anime catalog went to other distributors such as ADV Films, Geneon Entertainment and Urban Vision. Some titles wound up with Image Entertainment, which initially distributed them on laserdisc during Streamline's heyday.

Magikano: The Complete Series DVD
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.

Dragonaut: The Resonance DVD part 1
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.

Rosario + Vampire GN 9
If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order GN 12
Alita is back and even more powerful than ever, but aside from a couple of fantastic scenes the story progression lacks the sense of excitement and anticipation commonly seen earlier in the series. Seeing one of the all-time-great sci fi action series in such a storytelling decline is saddening.
