Eva was being released here in the US at the same time it was still airing in Japan. Granted, the US release was during the second half of the series in Japan, but still, ADV was doing two episodes at a time on VHS tape and started in the early half of 1996, and it took close to two years for ADV to release Eva on tape. |

About Macross:
Dubs aside, is there any reason why I should wait for the ADV rather than getting the Hormony Gold one? Is it gonna be cheaper or anything? I would rather give my money to ADV than to Hormony Gold, but I'm sure it's all getting back to them anyway. |

sorry for dumb question, but
what does this mean? "for the first time ever, produce an English dub for Macross." I never watched Macross, so I don't know anything, but according to ADV web site entire Robotech have English audio? |

Let me preface this by saying I didn't have time to read all sixtyodd posts in this thread, so sorry if some of these thoughts are redundant...
Ohmanohmanohmanohmanohman.... I cannot WAIT to watch AS Viewer Email Night the week after they air the finale of Eva. We will discover a dozen different ways for n00bs to convey the question "What the hell just happened?" AS is the only choice for Evangelion. There would be no market for the show on Toonami or Miguzi after episode 13, when mech battles begin to take a backseat to psychological wackiness and there's so much traumatic/bloody/quasi-sexual/religous content that practically every episode would have to be edited to the point where you'd have a half hour of Pen-Pen shaking his head back and forth. spoiler[Plus, you know, it'd just be weird. "TONIGHT ON TOONAMI! Beast Boy plays video games and Robin goes all chibi! Zatch carries on an intricate conversation with a box of pocky! Naruto totally punches some guys! Shinji's school chum is reduced to the psychological level of an infant after being horribly traumatized in a giant robot battle, and meanwhile Misato and Kaji have sex and then she murders him cause she's a crazy drunk that way and then later Shinji has to decapitate his best friend whom he may or may not have had a homosexual attraction to! Followed by DICE! Don't miss it!"] |

Robotech =/= Macross. Robotech is a hackjob combining Superdimensional Fortress Macross, Superdimensional Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada into a single thoroughly improbable continuity. While "Protoculture" in the original refers to an ancient civilization whose descendants happen to be humans and the warlike race of giants known as the Zentraedi, in Robotech it's a magical mystery fuel made from some cosmic flower that, I might add, is used to tie the three series together. Adding insult to injury is that it's used to explain how the robots transform, instead of saying they were built that way to begin with... In short, in Robotech they made the robots transform because of magic. My facts may be a little off, but know this: I've seen the first DVD and the movie of Robotech, and I really don't see why the hell people defend it. They raped the story, raped Lynn Minmay's songs, wrote corny crap dialogue like "this calls for a rocket boost!", and worst of all, the dumbasses at Harmony Gold lord over the huge steaming pile of crap like gods, crushing almost all attempts to bring the unadulterated original or any merchandise related to it across the pacific without the aegis of "Robotech" stamped on it. To summarize: I hate Robotech and I hate Harmony Gold.

So, basically, they’re just going to separate the three series back into their original parts, and redub them.
Not the “first time ever” in English as their wording seems to make it out to be. |

Not everyone has The Anime Network, and Comcast just basically snubbed ADV and created their own network with anime on it.
Superdimensional Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada already have their own dub and have had it for quite some time. Harmony Gold is allowing ADV to license Macross with the possibility of doing a dub on it. |

What you seem to be forgetting is that this is america we're talking about. When peaple refer to the US as christian fundamentalist, they mean that in the same way we refer to saudi arabia as islamic fundamentalist. Nowhere near the padded rooms of the taliban, but definitely on the same floor of the hospital. Cross shaped explosions could pretty much be ignored or put down to philosophical imagery, that would get left alone simply because it's too taxing on their limited intelligence. As for asuka... A woman being allowed to physically abuse a man with no repercussions because of alleged perversions and demanding that he cook and clean for her is pretty much dead on for the feminazi standard of how the world should work. Of course that could just be how things work down here in bible land. Pessimistic assessments of american culture aside, i'm looking forward to seeing ANY evangelion without having to choose between half a season or 2 years of college. |

If they do Dub it, Robotech Macross Saga will be finished.

So, wait...they're releasing WKRP in Cincinatti on DVD, and aren't using that great opening theme? What a rip... 
I'm surprised they've been able to get this far on UY, myself. [/quote] We in Lum's Stormtroopers are very vocal and will buy the show -- besides, it looks as though the UY license has no sign of expiration, so they might as well release it to those of us who want to see ther entire UY series. If nothing else, AnimEigo deserves a gold star for persistence. Now if they'd just get rid of those blasted ghosting problems on their discs... |

The pay cable channels (at least until the FCC decides otherwise) can do pretty much whatever they want. On broadcast and "free" cable channels (such as CN/[AS]), the FCC -- broadcast rules are federally regulated, not left up to the states, since broadcast transmissions can cross state lines easily -- says that you can loosen content restrictions after 10 p.m., when the younguns are theoretically in bed. However, it's still not "anything goes." Saying the naughty seven (see FCC v. Pacifica Radio [438 U.S. 726 (1978)] for more detail) will still call down a fine from the FCC regardless of the hour or context, just as nudity will at any hour. Quoting from FCC v. Pacifica:
Adult Swim probably won't have to cut as much as you think, as they've been getting away with a lot thankfully, but there's no way that Eva will go uncensored. It's just too controversial in some areas. Kusinagi-sama: I don't remember there being an ADV-sponsored dub on either Southern Cross or Mospeada, and I have both discs. I think those fell under the HG "thou shalt not dub Macross" injunction as well. Jetblack:
It'd get back to them anyway, as HG is the one who issued the license to ADV for the series, just as they licensed Macross to AnimEigo. I don't like it either, but it's pretty clear that at least as far as the TV series goes, it is legitimately HG's game. They'd better drop all thoughts of laying any more claim to DYRL though...

Even though I don't own Mospedea or Southern Cross, I thought that ADV dubbed these two since HG sublicensed it to ADV.
