Well they started releasing it, at least. It came out last September, as I understand it, and went under the radar because it's listed as Robotech first. I never heard from anyone who bought it. |

OMFG! Words cannot express my joy! But I have to ask: just the main series or did they get the two side series and/or movies too? Or will everyone buying the main series convince them to get the rest because if they put out any of that in super special collector's edition, I'm pre-ordering it day 1 on RightStuf. Well played, I surrender my wallet to you.
But OMFG! This has basically ruined all other licensing announcements for me for all eternity. A new license will pop up and I'll be all like "I could save money by just watching LOGH for the umpteenth time", lol Also, I might finally be able to buy Higurashi Kai? And maybe they'll be awesome and re-release it in a super special edition and whatnot? Dammit, Sentai, Space Brothers might be the only show I've bought from you in like 4 years, but you, sirs, have just earned my loyalty. |

@Finny Chan, Sentai stopped using stack packs quite a while ago. They've been using standard size cases with dividers for a couple of years. The last stack pack release from Section 23 was actually a Madien Japan title, Vampire Princess Miyu.

@dtm42 This is why I had to import the SDF Macross Blu-rays. Expensive, but worth it.

HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!
I wonder how much LotGH will be? It's 110 episodes, so I wonder how they will break that down. Doubt it will be dubbed, but oh well. It sounds like a series that non-anime fans could enjoy, so a dub would really help there. Also, will it be BluRay or DVD? As old as this series is, I suspect a DVD, sub-only release. But who knows? |

Wow, I honestly never thought this would happen any time soon.
I wonder if they are getting Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Spiral Labyrinth, too? |

Astonished like everyone else.
I hope one of the Australian companies licence LotGH. If not, I guess I might just have to import it. (C'mon Siren Visual, you can do it.) |

Puff, I've drunk too much. I could swear that I read that LOGH was licensed....like that could ever happen, right?

One of my many wishes has finally come true! I am brimming with pure elation and excitement for this extremely great news for Legend of the Galactic Heroes finally being licensed at long last! I can't wait to add this truly amazing series to my collection!
THANK YOU SENTAI FOR FINALLY LICENSING LOGH!!! |

Speaking of Siren Visual, does anyone know how Dennou Coil sold for them? This might be a factor because I believe it's from the same licensor as LoGH and from what I heard, they had to do A LOT of convincing to pick that show up. |

Assuming that they do the standard 12-13 episode boxsets for LotGH and that it does get dubbed, it will be definitely a big investment for them because it will take several years to finish. However, I think that given this becoming a Holy Grail for licensors here, some fans will feel that it is worth the wait. Had Funi licensed it, at the rate they license stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if were delays.

I am (like many others) SHOCKED that LOGH got licensed, didn't expect that.
Actually, considering the current US media market, the "best" thing that Sentai could do to push LotGH (if their goal is max sales) is probably to market it as "Game of Thrones: IN SPACE". (I also wouldn't be shocked to hear that the success of GoT helped convince Sentai to pull the trigger on LotGH) |

The Japanese Bluray release is 4:3. And why in the world would you want to change that? The show was created in 4:3, and the only way to view it uncropped on a widescreen is either black bars on the side, or that you accept it's stretched to fill the whole screen... I mean, who wants to watch a cropped version of a show, especially of a classic like this? Who? When it is released, it better be in its original 4:3... |
