Who's the Japanese DVD publisher?

[echolalia]

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me who publishes the official Japanese DVDs?

I want to make a point on another forum to the effect that "if the DVD you bought does not say Viz and is Region 1 encoded, or ____ and is Region 2 encoded, then you've probably bought a bootleg", but google has been most unhelpful in filling in that blank.

Hrmm. Maybe this belongs in "random". Oh well. =/

Ah.... ::goes and checks::

The cover says "Shogakukan Video" and the spine says "Avex Mode" as the distributers. The DVD should also have a catalog number beginning in "AVBA" (this number is usually found at the bottom of the spine).

>:(My japanese DVDs suck! They don't have any special features like the other ones should! I've seen pictures of the special features in other japanese DVDs that look EXACTLY like mine and I can't find anything that looks like it. Do all japanese DVDs that were from Japan and not translated into English not have special features? I got the movies from some store called Too Cool...
