I'd imagine in this modern world of ours, there's something in each contract that would state that rights automatically revert to the Japanese owner once a licensor goes under. I'd be extremely surprised if that wasn't the case.
-
Each license is individual, so both will be free to be re-licensed, though to be honest, I'd want to see Galaxy Railways season 2 & OVA picked up first.

Macross 25th Anniversary and upcoming new TV series thread
Keith replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Hmm, maybe they could ressurect the Macross 3D OVA to pump out in the meantime... I really want to know what the hell was going on in that trailer! -
To be fair, CPM nearly went under last year, and still aren't really out of danger yet. I guess we should have sensed something when Geneon put out the super econimic Tenchi sets earlier this year, that something was up.

New Robotech Shadow Chronicles Vid
Keith replied to terry the lone wolf's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Mark Hammil was in the Guyver live action movie, amongst tons of other bad sci-fi movies. Being in this is no big surprise -
No, ADV needs to stick around long enough to release Gurren Lagann! Now HG, they need to go under more than any of the above!!

LIVE ACTION ROBOTECH (WB gets the rights)
Keith replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
In a world were we have movie titles such as "next," I don't think there will be any problem marketting a film called "robotech" that has a bit of recognizability. -
You leave bandai visual alone! If anybody, it should have been Viz or Manga.

Black Lagoon will easily get picked up by someone else (ADV/Funi), so I'm not worried abou that. But I just picked up the Daichi's (6.99 a disc at rightstuf), and the Tetsujin 28 box set (35.99 at rightstuf). I'd also like to get Chobits, Girls Bravo, & Ergo Proxy right now, but I've already got enough on my plate as is. Everything I don't have from them right now look like likely re-licenses to other companies, so I'm not too concerned.

Any word on if the TV output cable will work with the classic? Or is it definately slim only?

That's why I was telling the "short" version

More accurately, DYRL's design reflects 2030's era TV canon. It's not that DYRL designs replace anything that happened prior (2009-2012), it's just that as of 2030, technology has evolved to that which was shown in DYRL.

Long story short, after the war with the Protodevelin, the Zentradi rebelled against the notion of being "demilitarized," and obsorbed into the Protoculture as a regular race. After that point, they roamed around hunting down the Supervison Army, killing any remaining Protoculture who tried to "culture" them, and likely fighting with other roaming Zentradi fleets. As for leadersihp structure's, fleet commanders like Bodolza filled that role, obviously commanding huge fleets. They didn't seem to have a problem maintaining food, and still had control of some mecha production facilities.

I agree, as everyone's argument on this issue has been based on a "what if" scenario that has no basis in any standing canon whatsoever. Macross II is far too vague in its own presentation to connect it with anything, let alone DYRL. And even then, DYRL was never intended to stand on its own, as its very existence was based on having seen the TV series. Since Macross II completely copies DYRL's formula (damn near scene for scene), its major failing is that it doesn't have its own TV series to use as reference material. it's assuming you know things that never happened so to speak. There is no point in arguing what if the Marduk were -Lost Protoculture -Lost Zentradi -A rebel Faction of Thundercats Since there's no proof whatsoever to support any of those theories, and they all fall into the realm of facfiction. All that can truly be said about the Marduk is: -They weren't Zentradi -They weren't Protoculture -They weren't Supervision Army Since those facts would have to have been specifically spelled out if there was any attempt to claim them to be so. And since all of the above factions are known "not" to have weird religious culture's, the ownly probable answer, is that the Marduk were their own individual race, that also came across Zentradi.
-
There is no debate on this issue, as Macross II has no: -Protoculture -Supervision Army -Stellar Republic No mention anywhere, no forshadowing, and most importantly, no real connection with any standing Macros canon. At which point we're left playing the "who's supposition is wilder" game. And considering nothing in standing Macross canon shows any inclination towards the Protoculture having a monarchistic society, nor is there anything showing the SA having a monarchistic society, that would leaev the Marduk, a race with their own name, religion, & society, to be a seperate race unto themselves. And since we know they "did" defeat the Zentradi using their own culture, and enslaved them in the attempt, the less wild supposition would be that they too were a somewhat earth-like culture that came across the Zentradi. Difference being there, that the Protodevelin were not the Zentradi, nor where they the Protoculture. They had no large military base, so they "took" one. How much sense would it make for a race that wasn't under mind control to put their own troops under mind control to fight for them, when those tropos would essentially be the same race. That's basically what you're implying here, since the Marduk being SA/Zentradi would have no need to enslave themselves to fight for their own emperer, when they could just as easily use the giant technology for their soldiers (should they choose to) & have themselves fight sans-mind control. And in turn is far too wild & baseless a speculation to even begin to touch, as it's based on absolutely nothing, and jumps the border to randon fanfiction. There's enough open space to randomly assume the whole star trek series happened in there somewhere too, but I don't see you shoe-horning that in. I've noticed this, and continue to point out that there's zero to support it, aside from your wishing it to be so. They're also running dangerously low on their supplies of marshmellows, and must find the lost PC marshmellow plant, or forever have boring cups of hot chocolate! Or it could be that Gargamel has turned his attentions on the gummy bears to steal their gummy berry juice, so for he can use it to bounce out those damned smurf's once & for all!

Psst, Escaflowne was a TV series, not an OVA.

The Aim for the Top! Gunbuster Thread v2.0
Keith replied to Noriko Takaya's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
It's the same figure from the R2 set. Note that you can only get it with the R1 release if you order directly through BV's store. www.dot-anime.us Also, it'll come to $100, and I know this because despite claims to the otherwise, I broke down & pre-ordered And, rightstuf has added the Bome Nono statue up for pre-order. They've got priority shipping for $5, and you get the 10% discount if you're a got anime member. -
Except The Marduk are specifically started to have been from a planet somewhat like Earth that also came across & defeated the Zentradi. i.e. they're not the Supervision Army.

What are you talking about, I listed Yamato!

Macross 25th Anniversary and upcoming new TV series thread
Keith replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I'd stay up to watch that hour of TV, I love both shows. -
1. Leiji-verse (GE:999, Yamato, Harlock, Galaxy Railways) 2.Gunbuster/Diebuster 3.Gundam (U.C./AU) 4.Haruhi Suzumiya 5.Giant Robo Honorable mention goes to Genshiken.
-
You mean aside from the Dual shock 3 & MGS 4?
-
The reason for the featherweight controller was the lack of rumble. The Dual shock 3 should have all of its heft back.

The Aim for the Top! Gunbuster Thread v2.0
Keith replied to Noriko Takaya's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Since I already have the figures from the R2, and the standard release will be cheaper at rightstuf, I think I'm going to pass on the dot-anime exclusive. Hmm, at least until I see what rightstuf is charging. -
Don't doubt something similar won't happen in the not too distant future though. I also want Nono in SRW. If Sivil can be there, so can Nono!
