Synch-Point Productions Announced

Los Angeles based Synch-Point Productions, the animation branch of Digital Manga, Inc., has announced their impending entry into domestic anime translation and distribution with the two titles Tenshi ni Narumon and FLCL. Tenshi ni Narumon, to be known in the US as “I’m Gonna Be An Angel” is a 26 episode shoujo comedy/drama from 1999. FLCL, pronounced “Furi Kuri,” is the most recent 6 episode OAV production from Gainax Studio. Both series are quite “odd,” to say the least, and very popular among fans of import anime. No detail on translation or home video format has been revealed yet.

The press release reads, in part:

Founded in 1996, DIGITAL MANGA INC. is dedicated to bringing quality anime and manga experiences to both fans and the mainstream. DIGITAL MANGA localizes and produces titles in English that communicate across culture lines and commits itself to bridging communications between the US and Japan. DIGITAL MANGA devotes itself to strengthening ties with Japanese anime studios and product manufacturers with the goal of making Japanese anime more understood in the United States and other countries.
