Half Moon Video

Half Moon Video (ハーフムーン) was a video distribution label owned by Bandai Visual. The label was originally founded in 1983 back when Bandai was known as A.E. Planning. Half Moon specialized in adult-oriented content, with most of their releases being produced by or licensed from other studios.

Logo: We see a blue vertical gradient background. In the centre of the screen is the Half Moon Video logo: the company's name is written in italicized all-caps pink text, overlaid on a yellow semicircle, resembling a half moon. The logo fades out, leaving only the blue background.

FX/SFX: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Very rare. Half Moon did not release many videos, and the exact amount of releases is unknown. At this time of writing, there are only three known releases on this label: Visionary by U-Jin (ビジョナリィ by 遊人), Body Jack: Out-of-Body Fun (ボディ・ジャック 楽しい幽体離脱), and Symphony Yume Monogatari (シンフォニー夢・物語), an anthology compiling three adult anime made by All Products in 1985; all three were formerly distributed by C.Moon years earlier.
