Anime Ltd joins the PLAION group

It’s official!  Today PLAION group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Embracer Group AB, announced that they’ve entered into an agreement to acquire Anime Ltd.  We believe both PLAION and Embracer Group represent an entrepreneur-led and content-driven future that aligns perfectly with our own vision of where we want to take our company. 

This is a huge step forwards for the whole Anime Ltd team as it allows us to deliver the highest quality works in Japan across Japanese animation and music to the rest of the European market in addition to the UK, France and USA as we do at present. Ultimately it allows us to bring more to both existing and new fans so we can’t wait to get cracking!

“We are looking forward to joining the team of PLAION, with whom we have already successfully collaborated via both our French and Scottish offices. Together, we are in a unique position to deliver a bespoke and streamlined approach for our business in each of the core territories in Europe. I am excited about the opportunities for growth that this deal represents.“

– Andrew Partridge, MD and co-founder of Anime Ltd

“I am happy to see that Anime Ltd. takes the next step in its development and becomes part ot a strong entertainment group with a clear vision and a promising strategy. I look forward to being able to further build up our business and unfold Anime Ltd.’s full potential to make Japanese pop culture content even more popular in Europe and the world.”
