On your page for Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, it lists a company under the "English Companies" section. Does this mean it was licensed? Or was it broadcasted on TV at one point? (Since it lists the company as "Broadcaster").

Oh, and here's a link to the page for those who'd like to see: anime#1400

Thanks for the help.

I suggest you click the link and check out the official website of Animax Asia yourself. Let's say that English is not only spoken in the United States of America.

When it says "Broadcaster" it means that company / TV network broadcast the show.

Worth noting that, while it's under English, it's not referring to the North American English market, but rather the Asian English Speaking Market (which should be obvious since the broadcaster is Animax-Asia).

Technically speaking, Animax had a license to broadcast it in Asia.

But when talking about a North American license, the inclusion of an English company does not necessarily imply any such license. In this case it most definitely does not imply any such license.

As Dormcat pointed out, you could have just followed the links to answer your question. In fact, you wouldn't have even needed to leave ANN since the Animax-Asia entry explains what it does.
