Kiseki Films

Kiseki Films

Kiseki Films was an Anime licensing and distributing anime created from around the same time Manga Entertainment Ltd was established. They existed from 1993 to 2002,when they were bought over by UK Adult interest video company Revelation Redemption Films.. The Australian branch of Kiseki was established in 1994 and closed down in 1999 after a take over from CEL and many years of scandals involving Kiseki Films Australia, BPS Video Services and the Australian Government concerning piracy and the types of tapes used. Kiseki brought several anime to the UK and Australia e.g

The Anime UK news DVD schedule states that 2 Gunbuster DVD's are going to be published by Kiseki Films. It is still unclear if this is a rumor or Kiseki is making a comeback in the UK.

Some suspect that the company's Australian division copied most of the tapes marked AU Exc. from various NTSC and PAL VHS sources. For example: Ranma 1/2 tapes are most likely to have been duplicates of the 1994 US Viz Video VHS tapes, Babel II a rip of the UK E2/Labyrinth Video VHS, and Tenchi Muyo, from the 1994 Pioneer UK releases. The list of fakes goes on and on.The Aussie releasers have been said to have cut corners in tape production, with one unlucky buyer finding part of an episode of Star Trek The Next Generations over the ending of a "brand-new" tape. They also added raunchy trailers to bump up the ratings on tapes. One P-d off buyer complained that The Cockpit (An Australian M 15+ rating) had no sex at all! The trailer for Hentai OAV The Gigolo appeared on most tapes felt to be "boring".
