Fuck, I thought it was some joke, but this news coming from Hollywood Reporter, I facepalmed.
The only ones who are going to love this development are those hardcore Macek apologists and that Yune carpetbagger running HG; I believe that even up to his demise Macek kept on insisting that claim he created the show, and insultingly viewed Nue as mere "hired hands". Of course this thing will never see the light of day in Japan.

I know a few people that like Robotech but cannot handle Macross (or at least anything beyond the orignal). Almost specifically because of the idol singing fixation (and Macross 7 didn't help either).

Say, do you happen to know a good supplier around here for pitchforks, torches, and good firewood? I'm probably gonna need a few thousand.

I reckon it's a fanbase made up of people that love 1970s/80s syndicated cartoons (made in Japan) and those that can't connect with modern (late night) anime. |

So unfortunately yeah, we're probably never going to see SDF Macross in America. That would take not only HG to surrender the license and kill their own Robotech, but also for Tatsunoko and Big West to kiss and make up. I have hopes for the other Macross titles that HG didn't touch though (especially since some leaked through in the... 1990s? Once the movie is released and hype dies down/everyone forgets Robotech again, maybe someone else will do a roundabout Western release of other Macross titles). |

I never saw either Robotech or the original Macross (not to mention the other two Japanese shows), and I don't really enjoy love triangle stories that much, but I guess I can check this out. If there is a love triangle element, hopefully it would be toned way down.
