Can’t be worse than “Cupcakes” and “Rainbow Factory”

I feel you! From what I’ve read, their licenses for Macross, Southern Cross, and MOSPEADA expire in 2022. Arbitration has that date in March 2021. So they need to get moving. LOL.

I’m not really sweating the loss of Robotech, as much as I enjoy it. Harmony Gold had plenty of time to do something with their IP, and they didn’t get the fire lit under their ass until about 2-3 years ago. All they’ve done over the past 30 years is piss people off, with only a small trickle of content here and there (and I actually liked the Shadow Chronicles comics and film). With this announcement at WonderCon, it looks like they are trying to throw as much at the wall as they can to get what they can get out of it. I’m surprised that Sony is interested though.

The looming loss of license doesn’t mean that they couldn’t re-negotiate a new licensing deal with Tatsunoko Productions over Macross, Southern Cross, and MOSPEADA. If they do, they definitely won’t be able to block distribution of Macross franchise in the US anymore. I won’t be crying over their loss of exclusive distribution that’s for sure. I really want an English-subbed high-def/re-mastered Blu-ray release of Do You Remember Love? film.

Wouldn't there be issues on Kickstarter with copyrights and such?

As I said, this is my first time ever thinking about starting a Kickstarter. I don’t know much about the process and would really like help on this. If there is a copyrights policy, then that alone will halt any merch being made through Kickstarter. In turn, would leave me no chose but to deny any merch other than stickers. :( Cause I really need the money to even start making buttons or keychains. 

Literal LOL.

LOL. Patlabor is such an odd duck, but a good duck. I hope that there will be more shows/manga that use mecha in this way. We are overdue for something that‘s different but not “Gainax ending” different.
