[[http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp Sunrise]], later known as Bandai Namco Filmworks, is one of the biggest anime makers in all of Japan. If you are thinking "RealRobot", you probably mean Sunrise's productions. Between the [[LongRunners long-running]] ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise and one-shot gems like ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' and ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Sunrise has long since cemented its reputation of one of the HumongousMecha market trend makers. Also, being a subsidiary of Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment (since 1994), many of its works (the ones involving HumongousMecha, of course) end up in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' sooner or later.

At Sunrise's panel at Otakon 2013, these potential license rescues were realized. Sentai Filmworks had picked up ''Anime/TheBigO'' and ''Anime/SCryed'' among many others. Funimation picked up many of the other big-name series like ''Anime/CodeGeass'', ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'', ''Anime/OutlawStar'' (and its spiritual successor ''Anime/AngelLinks'') and ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', and more (the only release confirmed for Blu-Ray is ''Cowboy Bebop'').
