PPD was licensed. It's not much worse.

I had a completely different impression: while PPD has a lot of references it doesn't utilize wordplay that much. Here, you cannot even translate the title!

That being said, if there's enough buzz or it catches the attention of the right people, it will come over. And, depending on how it is distributed, attract controversy when it does -- because it's obvious that, outside present company, there are many people -- even die-hard anime fans -- who will be offended by this series' content.

The only way it can come over is in a Robotech-style localization which I don't call licensing at all. Money, buzz or even the attention of some (hypothethical) extremely rich fans won't be able to fix its basic untranslateability.
