In summer of 2001, Jamie "J", Emily "E", and Seasons "S" began high school with summer Phys. Ed. classes. Jamie and Emily had been friends through middle school and Seasons had met them before, but now they'd become friends. Anime was a common interest in the group and the trio (alledgedly of doom) decided to make anime music videos and host them on the internet for the world to see. Originally, the group name was Jimbo Studios, but when they realized two of their three first initials were used, Entertainment was appended to include Emily. So, JSE stands for both Jimbo Studios Entertainment and Jamie, Seasons, and Emily.
As for where the name Jimbo came from in the first place, Seasons had come upon a trash can at the school with that name scrawled across the lid in a cool handwriting. The idea of a trashcan named Jimbo was entertaining for all three of them. Jimbo was said hello to, waved at, and kept track of throughout the first two years of high school. Eventually the infamous trashcan (or its lid) was either wiped clean or hidden away once and for all.
Jimbo Studios Entertainment was more of a way for the three girls to have fun and be silly in the only-public-as-you-are-popular realm of the internet than anything else. There actually weren't any music videos until a year or two after the website had started. J drew the background image you see here in the first few months after the group's formation and E did the majority of site maintenance until vat-o-fat.net was purchased by S in 2003. Around that time the music videos also kicked off, finally having a way to share them, and S took over JSE in maintanence and output. J and E remained involved for input and an F1 music video by E. By 2004 video production slowed and the site was only arbitrarily maintained.
The crew graduated from high school in 2005 and anime related music video production stopped around that time. They've each gone their seperate ways across the country but keep a loose contact with one another. If you'd like to contact S, feel free at "xynk at vat-o-fat dot net".
JSE has had numerous webhosts and URLs. Some include:
http://jimbo.imess.net (The ancient updates page is still up as of Nov. 2009 and can be found here: http://jimbo.imess.net/updates.htm or on vat-o-fat here.)

For a time, the music videos were also circulated by S through WinMX (a peer-to-peer file sharing program) with minimal downloads.
