Ex-Manga CEO Starts New Company Marvin Gleicher Forms 'Marvin Media'
Date: 10/8/2008
Marvin Gleicher, co-founder and former CEO of Manga Entertainment, has launched a new company, Marvin Media, to develop, produce and license animated films for the international market. Marvin Media?s first feature length effort will be an anime directed by Keiichi Sato (Wolf?s Rain, The Big O), written by Manabu Ishikawa (Full Metal Alchemist), and based on Jefferson Airplane founder Paul Kanter?s ecologically-themed story, Floating Moon. The Floating Moon anime feature is due out in early 2010.



Gleicher is also producing a 26-episode animated TV comedy series High DEF for the Island Def Jam Music Group. The High DEF cartoon series is slated to debut in late 2009.



In 1994 Gleicher co-founded Manga Entertainment, which released a number of groundbreaking anime series in the U.S. including Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll and Blood: The Last Vampire. Gleicher was appointed Vice President of DVD Content Acquisition Navarre Entertainment Media in 2006 (see ?Marvin Gleicher Joins Navarre?).
