A First Kick at a Franchise

Time has passed since the announcement certain anime-releasing companies would bring Blu-Rays of considerable parts of the Macross franchise over here. This isn’t quite the same sort of wait as for other anime releases, and other fans have slid back to complaining. Sony having bought Right Stuf, whose production arm Nozomi had been connected to the longest and latest series, has had a lot of dark aspersions cast on it. It might have been a matter of seeking distractions from that to pick up on the tidbits that AnimEigo was preparing to launch a crowdfunding Kickstarter to release Macross II. With that, I just might have found a certain peculiar amusement in this matter of priority involving a company that’s survived despite (or because of) not having ranked among major players since the twentieth century and a title that’s been pretty far down on the collective list of franchise favourites for even longer.
( Before I knew about that, though... )
