And hopefully a company like Funimation will get the distribution rights and release it in both dubbed and subtitled. <br /><br />In regards to the Live Action and Yamato Rebirth films. I doubt they will ever get released here in the States. At least in theaters anyway. Most likely direct to DVD/Blu Ray . <br /><br />Thankfully American & Japanese Blu-Rays are compatible with one another so I can just order them from Japan or have a buddy of mine just pick them up and mail them to me.<br /><br />On an off the topic note, have you noticed that the memory of Yamato/Starblazers is returning to those who are into Sci-Fi? A couple of weeks ago I was at a Sci-Fi convention in Maryland and Michael Hogan was a guest.. he reconized my Yamato JacketDaniel "Dax" Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331124421639225802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-57096213030562225832012-02-28T03:06:04.979-08:002012-02-28T03:06:04.979-08:00Where...did...you...get...these...images...from......Where...did...you...get...these...images...from...???

Much of what you say rings of truth, bu...Rheinhard,<br />Much of what you say rings of truth, but I could easily see Funimation picking up 2199, because they did send a rep to the American Film Market screening of the live-action film in late 2010. So, I wouldn't give up on them.<br /><br />2199 would probably be more marketable than RESURRECTION, since you would have to be familiar with the previous series and movies, and here we have a reboot to the whole franchise. Plus, 2199 does have the added pretty and youthful supporting female cast (more so than the originals).<br /><br />If we take into account the fan-press hype that 2199 has garnered in the US since the first announcement and teaser trailer, there is already a built-in market for 2199, as well as a generation of fans who grew up watching STAR BLAZERS who are hungry for more.<br /><br />We'll have to see what the future holds... Never say never!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AugustAugust Ragonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708963205755568342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-48831138829600120892012-02-23T14:59:54.634-08:002012-02-23T14:59:54.634-08:00I think the likelihood of a U.S. release of 2199 i...I think the likelihood of a U.S. release of 2199 is greater than that for the live action movie, since the anime probably wouldn't carry the same ridiculous demands that the overpaid star not be dubbed in another language. However, in my gut I fear that the remaining mainstream U.S. anime licensing companies wouldn't be so interested, as this won't have as many of the common anime tropes popular these days (no moe school girls or Shonen power creep). And the company that would make the most sense to handle it, Voyager Entertainment (which handles Star Blazers) really doesn't have the resources or frankly, know-how to handle a proper dub for the anime market in the 21st century.Rheinhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950424664531635251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-20082405991764720572012-02-23T10:40:19.112-08:002012-02-23T10:40:19.112-08:00Mathetes,
