Our offerings include original scripted stories in both Japanese and English, which provide immersive experiences for listeners.

By leveraging our expertise in audio production, AniMedia Entertainment aims to bring high-quality anime audio dramas to a global audience, enhancing the accessibility and enjoyment of anime narratives through the auditory medium.

Anime audio dramas, often called drama CDs in Japan, are audio-only stories that expand on the worlds, characters, and narratives of anime, manga, or light novels. They are typically released as CDs or digital downloads and provide an immersive storytelling experience through voice acting, sound effects, and background music. Drama CDs are especially popular in Japan and cater to fans who want more content beyond the original series.

The growing popularity of audiobooks and podcasts has made audiences more receptive to audio dramas. Audio dramas cater to the same audience who enjoys immersive, voice-driven storytelling. As fans are eager to dive deeper into their favorite worlds, audio dramas offer a unique way to do so.

Yes, we can! We can adapt any manga, light novel, or video game IP into an audio drama. Once our partners at GMB Japan have produced your audio drama in Japanese, we can then localize and produce it in English. This gives you access to a global audience. 

We are always excited to partner with new publishers. If you email us, a representative will contact you about adding your catalog to our service. We can also produce your drama CD catalog in English, expanding your reach to a global audience.
