I’ve been hearing that from a few people that have tried the vpn thing. I don’t know if there’s one that does work, but it seems Disney is blocking them fairly well unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seto Kaiba Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) It was inevitable that the streaming services would get wise to the trick, since half of the VPN apps out there these days advertise themselves as being useful for circumventing region-based blocks on content.

Streaming services have known about VPN-usage longer than you think. They're more focused on password sharing (i.e. free-loaders). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm sure they've known about VPN usage for ages, and while they are focusing on their various efforts to crack down on the password sharing in order to put off acknowledging that infinite growth is not possible for a little while longer, they're definitely also starting to quietly crack down on the now widely advertised use of VPN clients to circumvent the service's region specific blocks on content. That's what we're seeing here with people who are trying to access Macross content on Disney+ using VPN from countries where it's not supposed to be available yet.

When I tried (with NordVPN) I couldn't get in from their Tokyo server, but their other Japan server worked. They just didn't have Zero, SDF Macross, DYRL, or Macross II available yet, but that was around two weeks ago. Apparently they were added now.

Seto Kaiba Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 They're really dragging this release process out. 🤣 I'm glad that the Japanese releases are getting official English subs still, because at this rate it'll be 2025 before the biggest anime market in the west gets anything.

SSK Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Nothing in Europe too, but there's rumors we won't get it. Too many translations needed I guess. I really hope it's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the official posters said 2024. Unfortunately December 31’st at 2359 in whatever the last time zone is, still counts as a 2024 release to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (hopefully) Maybe they are dragging their feet on the US release in order to "influrnce" HG into allowing SDF and DYRL. Mind you, big D could probably buy HG outright if they wanted to for less then they spent on their last movie flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camk4evr Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I assume the rather piecemeal release to D+ depends, at least in part, on how fast the licensees can translate and subtitle the various series. I have no idea why Canada got it before the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG's a privately owned company, so the Agramas would have to be willing to sell... ... and it's unlikely they'd be willing to, for fear that Disney's attorneys and accountants would find things the Agramas would rather remain unfound while examining the company's books. Spoiler HG was named in two separate indictments of its founder, Farouk Agrama, for tax fraud, tax evasion, embezzlement, and false accounting practices in the 2000s and 2010s. The evidence was strong enough to secure a conviction on the first set of charges, and Farouk Agrama only avoided serving prison time for it because of his age. The current President and CEO, his daughter Jehan Agrama, has also been investigated for tax evasion at least once already in connection with unreported income. Selling a company that, according to Italian prosecutors, was set up as part of an international money laundering and tax evasion scheme is definitely a risky proposition if there is ANY evidence of financial improprieties in its books.

Graham Posted yesterday at 04:41 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:41 AM Currently re-watching Frontier on Disney+ and it just blows my mind that it's already 16 years ago since Frontier was first released. Where does the time go? To me it feels like like just a few years since Frontier came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
