Anime Archive - About Us

8thman.com's Anime Archive is an extension of the Web's most comprehensive resource on the 8th
Man series: 8thman.com. We specialize in Vintage Anime and Asian tokusatsu/ kaiju offering the
highest quality English-dub materials to the serious enthusiast. Because we are specialists in the
field and don't offer a wide range of film genres from numerous foreign countries we can concentrate
our efforts to provide the very best obtainable titles and episodes. Look around and doubtless you will
find similar titles in other places like online auctions, etc. But, most likely, theirs will be crammed on
too few discs, and highly compressed with very little original video signal left in the data. This is fine
for lowering their overhead, but not good for the customer! Preserving the signal quality throughout
the conversion chain, using the proper quantity of discs for the material involved, offering optional
printed graphics on our discs, and keep our shipping prices at rock-bottom is what sets the Anime
Archive apart from the crowd in collector's videos. Since the mid-90's we set out to "raise the bar" on
people's expectations of rare English-dub anime and we believe we have succeeded! Our attitude
has been and always will be a continual "pursuit of excellence" which makes us your # 1 source on
the Web!

All 8Store video titles are
derivative works of
production materials
created before 1978
or to have originated from
international sources without
current domestic licensing in the
U.S.

English-dubbed typically means
film/ video productions of
international origin which were
modified for broadcast in
English-speaking countries by
the addition of new voice and/or
music tracks, possible intro/outro
filmwork or animation,
music/vocal scores and
identifying "bumpers". In cases
when these "additional works"
have no identifiable ownership
or licensee we offer to
reproduce them basically with a
fee for our services, equipment
use and materials used such as
blank media.

After thorough research, and no
rights owner or license holder
has been identified for these
English-dubbed properties. We
currently offer this material in
the form of derivative works --
these are episode compilations
arranged by us from various rare
video media and also produced
by us from unique film source
media. Video is for private
home use only with no rights
given or implied. Titles are not
offered for sale to video stores or
retail outlets of any kind.

Our mission objective is to
provide rare videos to the
discerning collector. Titles are
offered as from one collector to
another for personal purposes
only.

If you are an authorized rights
owner or current licensor of the
English-dubbed version of any
title we offer, we will remove this
title at your request provided that
written legal proof of such
ownership or licensing is
presented to us. However,
frivolous claims and/or
presenting removal requests
backed by expired licenses,
fictitious or falsified
documentation of ownership etc.
will be considered libel on the
part of the requestor and also
attempted disruption of our legal
business operations.

Copyright or license holders,
please advise us of any errors. If
any of our English dub titles
happen to be revived to an
active and available in a
licensed domestic release we
will immediately stop offering
that title.

The 8thmanDotCom Mission: Bringing Home your Fondest TV Memories!

It has become commonplace in the mainstream video industry to produce program content that
includes an "overlay" of text or logos to identify that content with the producer. For this same reason
our special derivative works have very minimal "branding" to identify them with the our Archive. In our
efforts this consists of periodic appearances of very brief, semi-transparent text that is designed to
blend with the content so as to be hardly noticeable to the viewer. We trust this is professionally
performed so in no way does it detract from the viewer's enjoyment of the program.

Additionally, we hope this practice will encourage those of like mind to produce / distribute rare
collector's videos to perform original research, acquisition and production of their own unique
derivative works as we have labored to do.
