It was such a curious statement I had to check Google but came up empty. He's talking about Aki Uchiyama... the h-doujinshi artist who pitched the original series concept that eventually evolved into Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross to Tatsunoko Production. Uchiyama's niche as a h-doujinshi artist was lolicon porn and diaper fetish comic. Somehow, this failed to send up a massive red flag when he pitched a series concept about young teen girls based loosely on famous historical figures like Jeanne d'Arc and Cleopatra until AFTER he'd been brought on board and started turning out creepy creepy sh*t. (He's responsible for the creepy comic and lolicon art in This is Animation 10.) Fortunately, Tatsunoko realized their mistake and fired him fairly swiftly. The only parts of his series concept that survived into the final product were the protagonist's name (Jeanne) and that Jeanne and Lana's designs were further developments of his designs for Jeanne d'Arc and Cleopatra.

I'm not sure they stuck around that long. Tatsunoko's had relatively few standout original properties of their own, with most of their successes being coproductions (Macross, Megazone 23, Video Girl Ai, Neon Genesis Evangelion) or licensed properties (Mach GoGoGo, Fate/stay night, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Transformers shorts, etc.). Seems like a lot of their more creative members went and founded their own studios, like Ashi Productons, JC Staff, Production IG, Xebec, and TNK.

Also, the plot looks more like The Day the Earth Stood Still remake. I always say it: Some fan films, could be good producto, good material with the right choice. But others, like this, not.

Gerli Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Saw this on Facebook regards the UK Trademark filled by BW. Quote We have less than 30 days to see if Harmony Gold will respond in the EU case filed by Big West. The EU on May 13th asked Harmony Gold to respond to the UK ruling which incidentally cited several EU cases for its ruling against HG. HG originally had until July 13th to respond. HG in typical fashion ran out the clock and on July13th asked the EU for a 60 day extension. Being the incumbent for the Macross trademark, the EU granted them the additional 60 days. By granting the extension, the EU says any additional extensions can only be made under extreme circumstances. On September 13, 2019, what do you think HG’s response will be? I believe HG will just respond with give me another 60 days. Let's see if they try something. Edited August 16, 2019 by Gerli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony Gold's pretty screwed... trademark laws in most of the world are written to give priority to the owner of a property rather than the first user. Since the United Kingdom is still a European Union member despite its hilariously self-defeating efforts to the contrary, the European Union trademark law firmly working in Big West's favor is skewed even more heavily in Big West's favor by the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office's finding in Big West's favor being admissible as precedent. They're likely in a big of a scramble, trying to come up with something - anything - that might be used to convince the European Union to let them keep the trademark. My guess is, as they asked for a sixty day extension, they're trying to huddle up with Tatsunoko Production and see if Tatsunoko has anything that they could use as ammunition. (Tatsunoko is unlikely to be of any help, since they'd have to claim to own the Macross franchise to support Harmony Gold's claim, and THAT would get them sued by Big West.)

I believe Brexit is in October assuming they even can do that with the mess that is UK politics. I doubt they can get another extension unless they have something substantial to show... and when has HG ever had anything substantial in recent times?
