So we should be expecting imports not leaving/be bought outside of Japan anymore.

Awesome. Good to know.

Yeah, there's definitely some angst about Avex's anti-export policies over on the Muv-Luv discord, since the franchise has had a lot of releases across many media in Japan, and almost none of it has been licensed in the West, so the Western fanbase does a lot of amazon.jp shopping.

There's something about this that piqued my interest, but I can't exactly put them into words. I wonder what projects they are working on now.

The editor for the English version of the Muv-Luv VNs had a really interesting post on his curiouscat the other day, regarding a new "48 Years Later" scene in the Muv-Luv Alternative manga, which concluded in May after a 10 year run. Obviously, don't read his translation of the scene if you haven't finished Alternative, but his point is that by crediting three character designers and five mecha designers for a 10-page speech, it might be tipping fans off to where this franchise is going next.

EDIT: A tweet from @age_soft shows the final frame of the speech, for anyone who's interested.

I hope they do a complete adaption of muv-luv and give it to studio satelight.
