Bigwest will do a global release of the MACROSS series... Games and Toys too!

Original language with subs is totally cool with me. Part of the character of the show is the sound of the original actor's voices. With other shows, I prefer to listen to the Japanese and have gotten used to reading subs. I don't think I've ever heard a dub that sounds as good and convincing as the original in terms of acting. And that's dialog only.  While Mari Ijima and some of the Walkure girls pulled it off, voice actors are often not singers, so that's additional talent you have to hire. I wouldn't want the release of these shows to become held back by obstacles of cost or time.

There's a lot there though.

I know, their reaction is like saying "You aced the test yeah but it's only a 95/100".

That 5% and inadvertently opening Pandora’s Box won’t save Robotech or Tommy Yune’s career at this point.  

I agree but I'm not about to discount the quality of the rest just cause it's not Minmay music. I love SDFM and DYRL too but aside from a couple songs the majority of Macross music I like is from later stuff. So I'm happy.

Which ones are you spraying to buy? SDFM and DYRL aren’t worldwide yet.

Frontier, 7 and Macross II via Amazon. I'm still trying to find Delta songs I like.

I haven't been keeping up with the news, but is there any indication that the issues surrounding SDFM and DYRL are closer to being resolved so we can get a worldwide release? Or is HG making things difficult?

Nothing's been said about Super Dimension Fortress Macross or Do You Remember Love? yet, AFAIK.

I'd assume any news about Super Dimension Fortress Macross would have to come at HG's discretion since they still hold the distribution rights in their partnership with Big West.  The rights to DYRL? are a bit muddled, as I understand it, though through no real fault of Harmony Gold's as it's supposedly confusion originating with whoever they originally gave the international rights to.

No. There is no issue for SDFM and DYRL. HG owns the distribution rights for those. Period. Any perceived idea that there is a problem with those is fan whining. HG isn't making anything difficult. They are just staying in their lane. DYRL's video distribution rights are just lost to whoever has that, which not even HG has a real answer to.

Why can't I purchase the Macross songs now available on Amazon streaming as digital music?

It's some type of contract nonsense. In general, iTunes has always had better international licensing of digital music. Solution, buy them on iTunes & dig through the settings to set it up to convert downloads to MP3.
