Shin Vision

Shin Vision Srl was an Italian company based in Rome that published Japanese anime and manga, and operated in the merchandising, film/live action, non-Japanese cartoons, and music industries. Formed on 12 September 2002, it was declared bankrupt by the Court of Rome on May 7, 2008.

History
Shin Vision was born after vision discrepancies between Federico Colpi and Francesco Di Sanzo, both key figures of former publisher Dynamic Italia. Di Sanzo left the company and, along with part of the Dynamic staff, founded Shin Vision, which started operating on 20 September 2002. Later on Dynamic Italia changed its name to Dynit and Federico Colpi eventually returned as head of d/visual (Dynamic Planning).

Over time Shin Vision acquired a number of licenses and realized several products, commercialized through Pan Distribuzione, Mondo Home Entertainment and DNC, boasting among its customers MTV, GXT, De Agostini, Mediaset and Raidue. However, in spring 2007, after drastically slowing down the rate of releases and interrupting the publication of several series, among which RahXephon, Wolf's Rain and Gundam Wing, it reached an agreement for the distribution of its video products with EXA Media, slowly resuming some titles, among which Captain Herlock - The endless odyssey OAV. In October 2007 the entire catalogue of licenses was relieved from EXA Cinema, division of EXA Media, that published it under the brand Fool Frame; a few months later Shin Vision went bankrupt.
