Nozomi Entertainment



Nozomi Entertainment is an Anime licensing company based in Iowa, United States. It's a division of mail-order retailer Right Stuf, and went by that same name up until 2007. They generally have an excellent reputation, choosing high-quality series and when possible, putting out releases that are also as high quality. As seen here, they have plenty of rescued titles from shuttered companies and classic titles, some with fandoms that had little realistic hope to see the titles in the states again.
