I didn't pay too much attention to the "projected release dates" in the presentation, although I did notice a warning the new license of Dear Brother wouldn't be available for as long as many others are. (Years ago, I chipped in for the Anime Sols crowd-sourced DVD releases of that series, sweating out every pre-order period, but I haven't yet opened those DVDs...)
In pondering my own reactions to Project A-ko, I considered how right now I'm intrigued in any tidbit of information I can find about "1980s North American anime fandom," back when it was a matter of importing untranslated material from Japan and passing along nth-generation copies on videotape, but might not pay quite so much attention to the early 1990s when companies were being established. I did also wonder about what titles might become the ones brought up whenever people start lamenting about "vanished masters"... I recall insinuations the film reels for Sailor Moon were cut up and handed out as bonuses years ago, and that one episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion is stuck at standard definition because its materials went missing.
