I guess those rights finally lapsed. Now, onto Macross: DYRL.

Anime World Order podcast has an interesting discussion of this and In the Aftermath, in their episode 78.

This is basically the same as with The Exchange getting Shin Ultraman right?
Would they be the ones who control who gets the home video license here? |

It is not mentioned in the article, so I might be wrong, but wasn't Angel's Egg originally a Lupin title that got cancelled?

It sounds like whoever it would be would have to negotiate through them, with the additional possibility that this company, if they have no understanding of the general anime market, may be expecting potential home video licensors to pay the amount that someone like Criterion Collection would pay for Ozu's films (when Criterion and Arrow currently consider physical distribution of anime below their notice, though they'll license it for streaming), but maybe above what Sentai, Discotek, or Animego can hope to afford, leaving only Crunchyroll, GKids, and All the Anime as our only hopes. |

Just a quick note that this company is backed by Goodfellas (previously Wild Bunch), the same company that released The Red Turtle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Turtle Their previous experience includes being the international sales rights holder for Studio Ghibli outside of North America and Asia. |

Ah. Okay, then this is probably going to get distributed by GKids then.

Count: I hope so. I don't want Anime Ltd. involved, when I'm still waiting for them to do something with Macross Plus and City Hunter: Angel Dust.

I believe you're conflating Oshii projects. As I understand it, Oshii had an idea for a Lupin feature where Lupin wouldn't appear for most of the film because he was outside of it and trying to steal reality. Oshii has had Lupin touch on religious themes with episode 10 of part 6 "Darwin's Bird", but even there he isn't dealing with the same sort of concerns seen in Angel's Egg, which has more to do with the nature of faith itself. |

Little correction; the restoration is from a scan of the original 35mm camera negative, not a print. These are two different things.
