A First Sign of Something; A Final Farewell

When I organized my thoughts to the point of setting them down in a post about the decades-long logjam enveloping the international rights to Macross breaking up in a seeming instant, I did have to mention cautions seen announcements counted for little until Blu-Rays could be bought. I’d also noticed some dismissive comments the anime many wanted to see on those Blu-Rays might matter much less to the most powerful of those who’d worked through to the agreement than the long-rumoured “live-action Robotech movie.” As it turned out, not that long after that I saw a tidbit of news about the more recently rumoured and potentially closer to realization “live-action Gundam movie,” surely not in response to the earlier announcement but somehow amusing in juxtaposition. Although curious about how that movie might turn out in connection to a franchise already including a clutter of “alternative universes,” I’d be just fine turning back to the animation if necessary.
( A while after that, though... )
