No, the intermediary company that Harmony Gold used to set up their original licensing deal with Funimation went under due to a bankruptcy triggered by "creative accounting" practices.  That's why it took like two years for Funimation to actually put up any of HG's episodes.

What was the intermediary company's name?

Yeah, they pulled it a while back... I believe around the time they initially negotiated their new license with Funimation that fell through when the intermediary went bankrupt and then out of business.

Are you saying that FUNimation went out of business cause they've folded into Crunchyroll? 

Who would be in line to Release Macross  (1992 to present) via Streaming and/or Blu-Ray in North America? 

FUNimation  (in the middle of the Crunchyroll Transformation)

Sentai Filmworks 

Viz Media 

Media Blasters 

Right Stuf! 

GKIDS/Shout! Factory 

Discotek Media/Eastern Star

Windermere? 

Time to make the donuts!

It's the Macross memes Thread.

Well, I searched on the forums and there wasn't any threads on Macross memes so I decided to make one.

Here's the first meme! Have fun!

Then that'd be cool.

Just a little grain of salt. I don't know what Discotek Media is going to show Tomorrow Night. Any thoughts?

What if...some Macross titles were to be announced at Discotek Day March 14 (aka Tomorrow Night)?

I would like to see them on Blu-ray for those who like to own something physical 

I would think that either Sentai Filmworks, Viz Media or Nozomi Entertainment would license them

Just saying that Macross needs some Accessibility 

What about have the Idols dubbing themselves in English?

I think it would be best if they would just release them with professional subtitles. Since English dub singing can be hit or miss.

If it were dubbed, skip the Singing and keep it Japanese

Macross music will be on all music streaming platforms on the 21st!!!

Well, only 1992's Macross II to the latest Macross Delta Movie 

I think that what's going to happen next year for the Macross Franchise 

1. Some North American Anime Company (i.e. Funimation, Sentai, Viz, GKIDS, etc.) Is going to be releasing the Macross titles post-1987. Either the Macross II or the Macross Plus Blu-Ray release will happen first.

     1.II If it is Macross Plus, or if this comes 2nd, the 2013 Japanese Blu-Ray release would be used as the basis for the North American Blu-Ray release of Macross Plus. Only some things need to change like for an Audio Track with the Original Japanese Soundtrack mixed with the English Dub as well as the International Soundtrack so it could satisfy everyone. With the movie edition. All they would have to do is used the transfer with English Subtitles. If it comes with a new Dub, it would be a welcome addition.

2. Macross 7's release....man! Where do I begin?

An English Subtitled-Only release would be logical, given the fact that it's nearly 20 years old and dubbing it would be a hassle for the obvious reason but if a dub were to be made, they cannot treat it like Fire Bomber American and call it a day. I would like to hear a somewhat good job from the ADR Team from Sound Candence (which these days are perfect for Retrofitting English Dubs for shows that are more than 10 to 15 years old) and they can't just do the TV series. They would have to go for the OVAs, the Short Movie, and Shorts.

3. After that, then dubbing Macross Zero to Delta would be much easier. For Scheduling the Macross Blu-Ray releases, it cannot just be released all at once. Give the entries at least 3 to 6 months in the limelight. If Streaming Services do pick them up, they would have to put out the Subtitled-Only versions out first.

 Although it won't all release within the year of 2022, it would get Macross fans excited for releases like those. 

Anyways, Zethus out!
