Japanese Macross Ruling Has No Effect in US

In response to the recent Japanese court decision that the Macross property is owned by Big West, rather than Tatsunoko, American anime distributors apparently have little expectation of the ruling affecting the American market. AD Vision’s release of Robotech will apparently be unaffected by this legal decision. Manga Entertainment has likewise confirmed that they foresee the decision having no effect on the availability of their Macross Plus and Macross 2 releases. AnimEigo has been a bit more hesitant to make unqualified statements, but thinks it “unlikely” that the Japanese ruling will have any effect on the American Macross TV series DVD release.
