They did add English subtitles to the Delta Blu-rays. The out-of-print d-Shudisuta-b Box of the Frontier movies and the out-of-print Macross Plus movie disc in the OVA+Movie set also have English subs.
Some producers aren't as aware of the international fandom as others sadly.
They should do what Sunrise has done with Gundam by offering a re-release with English subs for a number of their titles.
What? How? Why? Harm anime for Gold aren’t doing anything with Macross, why do they even still want it? Why would Tatsunoko agree to this after fighting those legal battles? I can only imagine some kind of blackmail was involved. Perhaps something even more sinister, given what we know about HG’s dealings I wouldn’t be surprised it they made someone “an offer they can’t refuse.”
Even if they did, I wouldn’t buy it out of principle. Tatsunoko clearly doesn’t deserve my money any more than HG does to make a decision like this. Screw them both.
Good grief. There's a name I've not seen in a long time.
That sounds pretty amazing (and is perhaps a long overdue admission that all fan content currently exists in a legal grey area which everyone just mostly ignores, but for Lain they're essentially making it explicitly legal) but trying to read those terms and conditions through Google translate is a painful experience. This did catch my eye however:
So western fans can't take advantage of this unless they move to Japan? That's slightly disappointing.
I’m a little surprised it’s in the OED. Still not sure it would cut it in Scrabble. What’s even better was that right in the middle of that article I got an advertisement for Domestic Girlfriend, but sadly just as I was about to take a screenshot it rotated to some bland Guardian jobs ad.
