How tragic... So?
I wouldn't recommend it: the movies are far less good than the TV series IMO, to the point that I couldn't even recognize the original material – maybe it's just me, though... |

I think that the series works better than the movies, although with Kindan no Elixir / May'n (Macross Frontier Movie Sayonara no Tsubasa OP) being the third song that I saw and heard being performed live in Japan, I had to at least give some credit for the movie having a new song like that. |

omiya: There's a difference between importing CDs and having to pay for the home video rights to songs.
Tars:
Why would the Japanese side go along with it, when they hated the original deal with HG in the first place?

Because you are talking about Sony and Warner Bros, not some tiny company that is practically dead, called Harmony Gold. |

I'm not sure where the idea of importing CD's came up. Flying Dog haven't prevented or overcharged for their artists' music being used in anime releases outside of Japan that I know of. Can you name any Yoko Kanno compositions used in anime that *weren't* included in western releases of the anime? |

I admit willingly that these movies are very well done on the artistic side, and particularly the music: from this point of view, the pure show, the BD may be worth the money.
And a company with which BW/SN have a particularly execrable relationship since, what?, 20 years or almost. I believe I heard that ADV was interested into licensing some Macross material quite some years ago but when they say to the original creators that HG had to be part of the deal, Kawamori and Co. backed off immediately: I can't tell if it's just a rumor or not but this illustrates the point quite well – anything except HG! |
