Harmony Gold is actually one of the few places we're sure the DYRL distribution license ISN'T The DYRL problem, as I understand it, is that it a whole bunch of bankruptcies and mergers happened after it was licensed. We know it WAS licensed, but no one's sure where the license wound up in the end or how long it was good for. There's a few companies that think they might have it, and everyone's waiting for someone else to make a move.

My understanding, as someone who has none, is that you are totally correct. I guess we'll find out, I ordered a Nineball.

Glad Bandai is keeping with Kotobukiya's "ACs are highly-customizable" design ethos. I still think it is funny that Kotobukiya is reissuing their old AC1-5 kits at the same time Bandai's putting out new AC6 kits.

Animeigo Macross Box Set - Black Cases vs Color Cases
JB0 replied to CryptCat's topic in Movies and TV Series
I suspect they either didn't know Animeigo would do an extensive remaster, or they were just too incompetent to include "transfer the remastered audio and video to us at the same time you deliver all unsold stock for us to repackage when we cut you out" -

Man. If I could buy JUST Autobot Bullseye, I totally would. But the Optimus and trailer are a remarkably barren deco. Though Prime throwing the Target balls for Robullseye is some adorable boxart.- 16024 replies

Warner be like: Can't lose at the Oscars if you cancel all your films before they release! -
Otaku Terminator is a lot more relatable than the regular one.

JB0 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Two thoughts: 1. They probably want to avoid using "seekers" on anything other than Starscream and his repaints, given how the word has become very closely associated with that concept. 2. Doesn't Atari(or current skinwearer thereof) have an active trademark for Star Raiders?- 16024 replies

Shouldn't they FINISH Macross The First before they adapt it?

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
JB0 replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
In fairness, the Battle-class detaches from the Island-class for, ummm, battle. I can think of reasons this would be a good idea, were it not depicted as so easy to travel between ships(like you can literally drive a car from one to the other). -
I mean, that's kind of the basic premise. They exist inside the computer, the laws of physics don't apply and the laws of video games reign instead. Humans that enter the machine play by the rules of the digital world and gain superpowers, why would the opposite NOT be true? They'd have to work VERY hard to sell me on "a 70s mainframe has the power to rewrite the laws of physics", and they really weren't trying to. And the MCP would be terrifying in a modern networked environment.

Animeigo Macross Box Set - Black Cases vs Color Cases
JB0 replied to CryptCat's topic in Movies and TV Series
How nostalgic! Yeah, HG's official line was there won't be an english-dubbed release of Macross, because "we already have that, it's called Robotech". That went out the window as soon as the Animeigo license expired and ADV got it. I genuinely believe they were trying to screw over Animeigo from the start. -
I mean, the best way to defeat CLU was to ignore him. LET him invade the real world, and be suddenly confused that his laser rifles and super powers don't work because he isn't inside the game. Everything falls apart once you realize that.

I love to WATCH Tron Legacy. I don't think it is particularly well-written, but it is frickin' gorgeous. (I was intensely disappointed that their interpretation of "inside the computer" adapted to the modern highly-networked "computers are everywhere" world by... ignoring it all and having them inside a mainframe with no outside data connection.)
