Sentai Studios
American post-production studio
Sentai Studios is an American post-production studio of Sentai Filmworks, a subsidiary of AMC Networks located in Houston, Texas.
The studio was founded in 1995 as Industrial Smoke & Mirrors, the in-house studio of ADV Films. It was renamed ADV Studios in 2005 when it merged with ADV's secondary studio, the Austin-based Monster Island; and then in 2006, when ADV began offering its services to other companies, the studio was also called Amusement Park Media before it was sold off by A.D. Vision in 2008. It was then renamed Seraphim Digital before going into its current name in 2014.
Today, Sentai Studios is best known for producing English-language dubs of Japanese anime series and live-action Japanese films released by ADV, Sentai, Switchblade Pictures, and Maiden Japan. Other notable clients include Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Microsoft, PBS, and Toei Animation. As of 2025, the majority produced by this studio can be found on Sentai's HIDIVE streaming service.
