Australian Anime Distributor Hanabee Launching In-house Encoding And Authoring Services

Hanabee, Australia's youngest anime and pop-culture distributor, has just announced that it will be launching its own in-house authoring and encoding service. Carl Ardron, who has 12 years' experience in the compression and authoring field has joined the company as its Production and IT Development Manager.

"Carl's near-obsession over quality is something inspiring to be around. One of Hanabee's central purposes is to set the benchmark in this area and I'm simply thrilled this opportunity to work together has emerged," says Eric Cherry, Hanabee Entertainment's President and CEO.

Within the 2 years since its launch in 2012, Hanabee has already got an incredibly diverse and interesting range of titles in its catalogue, which includes Toradora!, Bakemonogatari, Anohana, Lupin The Third - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine and the upcoming Girls & Panzer. The company's continual growth and development is wonderful news for all the anime fans in Australia.
