...the US Anime industry in the last 10 years...
A.D.Vision, which had been around for a long time, were strong early in the decade, then had their Japanese investor, Sojitz, become a huge pain in their ass... ADV remedied that situation by doing a strategic, planned death of the company, splitting the smoldering assets into 5 different new companies that have nothing to do with Sojitz, but essentially all still work together... ADV name gone but company is still essentially the same, sans Sojitz. All Sojitz titles now licensed by FUNimation.
Pioneer Entertainment USA, created to produce and distribute laserdisc media to promote sales of Pioneer laserdisc players, took off when they licensed and released Pokemon on VHS. They made tons of money and jumped into the DVD market. Pioneer split and sold them off, rebranding them as Geneon, then made tons of errors in judgment for the next few years... they're now dead, and their remnants are distributed by FUNimation.

AnimEigo... well, their unofficial motto is "Real anime, for real anime fans, made real slowly." They focus more on older anime series, and don't release much... but what they do release, they usually do a DAMN GOOD job on the presentation. Still licensing one or two series ever so often, releasing them at a snail's pace.
RightStuf, basically a side-business of the Anime retail website of the same name... they tend to license the smaller, obscure series that the large companies ignore. Due to the popularity of their retail website, and good relationships with several Anime websites, they get good press for their smaller licenses. Same with Media Blasters, they've moved more towards subtitle-only releases to save money. They tend to smother their releases in tons of liner-notes (booklets explaining translations and tidbits on Japanese culture in relation to the anime.) Rebranded recently as Nozomi Entertainment.

Bandai Visual USA. Technically under the umbrella of the same company that owns Bandai Entertainment, but they decided to do their own thing in America. That being, trying to sell anime DVDs for about $50-80/apiece. That, uh, didn't work. They recently decided to finally work with Bandai Entertainment, who have convinced BVUSA to lower their damn prices on future releases.
Tokyopop... heavy manga-licensor, decided to follow VIZ's lead and license anime related to their manga licenses... they thought they'd be smart and "Americanize" some of their series for release in America. Anime-fans revolted in dramatic fashion. Tokyopop is no longer in the American anime licensing/releasing business. Thankfully, their horribly mangled Initial D anime license has been snatched-up by FUNimation, who promise a new translation/release of the series soon.
Synch-Point... they, uh, released FLCL in America, along with some other smaller series not worth noting. That's about it. Same problem with Bandai Visual USA, they tried charging through the nose for their DVDs. They dead. FUNimation has relicensed FLCL, with a release planned for later this year.
