Maybe your best chance is go to Mexico, watch Locomotion (an Argentinian alternative animation channel) and watch Macross DYRL with Spanish dub (althrough does have the Original Japanese audio)

Actually is showing up as the license expired aka "Unlicensed" anime download sites now. |

Most people don't even know it's licensed, because none of the anime companies have it. |

It isn't licensed in the US. Obviously it's licensed in Mexico, but what about other places.

Yes, it is licensed in the US, and has been for virtually 20 years
BEST Video owns the rights to it, and it was released as "Clash of the Bionoids", I believe they released another version under a different name. The point is though, that they still have that license, and it now belongs to some creditor or another and no one has tracked it down yet. There was some noise that Harmony Gold had acquired it and it'd be released this year, but never panned out. |

Yeah, I've kinda put it next to Angel's Egg, The Belladonna of Sadness, and The Adventures of Hols, Prince of the Sun in the "Can probably learn Japanese in the time it takes to wait for a subtitled DVD" list. Not that it'd be worth it just to watch a couple movies, but I'm learning the language anyways (for various reasons), and it's a nice perk.
I've already seen it several times. I just want a real copy - my VHS fansub is rather poor quality that doesn't do justice to the amazing visuals, and it will probably wear out in a couple years besides. |

I agree with you, I just purchased the 3 boxsets of Macross, even though it will proable show up via unlicensed anime very soon. I buy everything I can and I don't intentionaly download licensed anime. I have over 156 + dvd's of anime that I have bought over the last 5-6 years (and just picked up the Excel Saga box set just recently). I love robotech and reading this threed and doing research opened my eyes. I never knew that robotech was based off of Macross, Southern Cross, and later. I hope ADV does release the later two other series like the sailor moon uncut / subtitled only. Do you rember Love has several sites that say Best Video licensed expired... I hope it's not licensed. Does any one know for sure? |

Kiseki in the UK did put out an official, licensed NTSC version of DYRL.
The subs were done with a closed caption box, and they suck, but it's legit

ROCK!!!
EDIT: They haven't updated their site since 2001. I'm getting worried. Sword of Whedon, how's the video quality? I'd be willing to get a DVD with crappy subtitles as long as the video is sharp and the colors are bright. But I don't want to buy something that looks terrible. Anyways, it couldn't be worse than Kino Video's subtitles for Love and Pop - which, I shit you not, contains the line "WTF" |

I dunno if they ever did a DVD of it. I only saw the VHS. Video quality was OK, honestly they are/were a crappy company, but I know for a fact there is a licensed version in English
