MediaBlasters is a producer, localizer, and distributor of genre media such as {{anime}}, {{manga}}, Japanese live-action and {{toku}}, and horror films (along with the occasional Western animation). They were founded in 1996 as a store specializing in these genres, but began moving into production as time passed.
As far as the anime/manga market is concerned, despite managing to licence several cash-cow series (''{{Voltron}}''[=/=]''{{Golion}}'', ''RurouniKenshin'', ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', ''Bible Black''), Media Blasters generally focused on more obscure series and never tried to expand as far as its competitors. (Meaning they didn't overextend themselves as much.)
Media Blasters uses several labels for its releases:
* '''Anime Works''' -- anime and manga.
* '''Kitty Media''' -- {{Hentai}}. Has a tendency to use ParallelPornTitles.
* '''Tokyo Shock''' -- Japanese live-action, including {{Toku}}.
* '''Shriek Show''' -- Obscure horror and exploitation.
On January 10th, 2012, it announced it was going freelance and already laid off 60% of its employees, leaving the actual body of the company comprised of [[OddlySmallOrganization five or six people]].
