- Streamline Pictures was an American media company that was best known for its distribution of English dubbed Japanese animation and Cable TV.
- Founded in 1988, Streamline Pictures was the first company to bring over and dub anime uncut on video in the US. While all of Streamline's dubs and productions were uncut, Macek did the script rewrites to make it more suited for the American audiences. While it wasn't bad as Macekre with the totally different character names and hackjobs, the script rewrites were more than enough to anger the most hardcore anime fans in the already long Dubbing Versus Subbing debate. While many companies release dub/sub VHS tapes at the time, Streamline Pictures went for the dub only approach. On their laserdisc releases and some of their DVD releases you can have both Japanese and English audio, but no subtitles.

- Streamline Pictures was an American media company that was best known for its distribution of English dubbed Japanese animation and Cable TV.
- Founded in 1988, Streamline Pictures was the first company to bring over and dub anime uncut on video in the US. While all of Streamline's dubs and productions were uncut, Macek did the script rewrites to make it more suited for the American audiences. While it wasn't bad as Macekre with the totally different character names and hackjobs, the script rewrites were more than enough to anger the most hardcore anime fans in the already long Dubbing Versus Subbing debate. While many companies release dub/sub VHS tapes at the time, Streamline Pictures went for the dub only approach. On their laserdisc releases and some of their DVD releases you can have both Japanese and English audio, but no subtitles. Akira and Twilight of the Cockroaches were the only releases with subtitled versions available(on TotC, the subtitles were -- poorly -- done by Macek himself). There were actually subtitled versions done for D, and the Miyazaki films, but they were only released as film prints (there were a few roadshows back around 1992). There also was one instance of Harmony Gold releasing subbed anime, as part of the Robotech Perfect collection which had two episodes of Robotech, and the corrisponding two episodes of one of the three Japanese series that made it up with rather poor subtitles. Each set got approximatly halfway through it's source series. While the original dub of Akira is known as the Streamline dub, the dub was originally commissioned for the Hong Kong market, before the founding of Streamline Pictures. The same is true for the original dub of Laputa: Castle in the Sky. After Streamline Pictures went under and other anime companies later picked up the rights to their catalog, some (Urban Vision) chose to keep the Streamline dub on their releases while others (Bandai Entertainment, Pioneer\Geneon) chose to do altogether new dubs. ADV Films did mostly the latter, but kept a few in the original form. And of course, Disney decided to produce dubs of the Miyazaki films 15 years later. Voice actors include:
