The new agreement “immediately permits worldwide distribution of most of the Macross films and television sequels worldwide,” but doesn’t state which will be omitted. It also affirms Harmony Gold’s rights to the Robotech franchise and states that “Big West will not oppose the Japanese release of an anticipated upcoming live-action Robotech film” — presumably a reference to the spin-off Sony Pictures Entertainment has been developing for years.
Very cool. It's fucking bullshit what western animation studios and companies have done to anime and manga releases over the years. I'm not a big cEnSoRsHiP guy, but there does comes a point wherein you're fucking with the artist's vision and whatnot for the sake of not offending backwards evangelicals in the states.
