I have read three chapters of its manga I think. Absolutely nothing worthwhile about it.
Well, then I wonder that if the dubs for the OVAs were commissioned by Netflix... would that mean that any third party overseas interested in a re-release would have to be responsible for a new dubbing process, aside from previous step of pursuing the licensing of the IP itself? For a product that has been as easily accessible as it was until recently, such investment could mean insufficient returns for a licensee in the low-end estimation. Sadly, I assume many potential licensee wouldn't be too interested at the moment.
From what I've read through projects like the Skip Beat Kickstarter it's extremely unlikely Netflix owns the rights to its dub, and that instead the parent company owns the rights. So when the TV series license runs out it shouldn't be impossible for another company to get the rights including the dub from the parent company without ever talking to Netflix at all.Well, then I wonder that if the dubs for the OVAs were commissioned by Netflix... would that mean that any third party overseas interested in a re-release would have to be responsible for a new dubbing process, aside from previous step of pursuing the licensing of the IP itself?

Maybe with time, or via new distribution deals spearheaded by the management committee in case a promotional push for the original property is in order (e.g. new content produced within the brand).
Perhaps the light novel is better since it's the original work.I have read three chapters of its manga I think. Absolutely nothing worthwhile about it.
Hmmmm... I won't delve too much on hypothetical questions that vary greatly on a case-to-case basis without knowing the exact deals made, but yeah, as you say there are many examples of old properties that retained their dubs on re-releases, as the rights returned to the original IP management companies or committees.From what I've read through projects like the Skip Beat Kickstarter it's extremely unlikely Netflix owns the rights to its dub, and that instead the parent company owns the rights.

It's why all the Funimation rereleases of bandai stuff has the original voices though because the Japanese company owns the dub.
I just know with the Skip Beat kickstarter it was for NA only and shortly after it succeeded it was announced for EU dubbed through a different company which is when the skip beat kickstarter explained that not only do they not own the rights to the dub they are producing that it's rare for the company making the dub to retain rights to it at all. Typically the parent company owns all rights to the dub the moment you make it, but they can't break the contract you have. So if you have rights for NA they can't sell it to another company in NA until your rights run out.Even then, without knowing the agreement in place at the time, this is just an assumption that can be far from the truth! :-P
Zeta Gundam 38
I'm kinda disgusted with Reccoa that she can so easily betray the ones she's worked so closely with. Even the Titans guy was like, "any decent human being would feel something". We get no indication that Reccoa feels anything anymore for her Argama fellows. Even Char had the decency to feel a tinge of regret at betraying Garma.
Also, nothing makes me happier than the constant crash and burn of Jerid. Every failure he experiences fills my heart with joy
Bookworm Episode 3:
Pretty soon Mine is going to rule this world and then Ancient Egypt will pay.
I have no clue what that is... New SD Gundam series?

I'm ashamed just typing this. :(
Edit: After a Google search I guess its a sequel to this?
Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru is a super popular series in the 80s to early 90s spanning more than 100 episodes and multiple OVAs. Last year, interest in the IP was revived when it was introduced in Super Robot Wars. New merchandise and sometimes new seasons for old series tends to be created when SRW puts them in the spotlight. It's one of the major reasons why the new season of Full Metal Panic exists.
Yeah that sounds about right.Okay so it's not exactly like those other shows, but it sure does feel like someone got nostalgic for Gundam SEED and had just read Twilight.
There some pretty good faces in the next episode to choose from.I was thinking of grabbing that Legosi pic as an avatar and now I realize I was too slow.
He has a name, and it's ERU-ERUFU!VALVRAVE THE LIBERATOR: 01
Haruto is the lame protagonist who climbs into a robbit after his love interest Shoko is blown up (off camera, with no body shown) by a transfer student bully who just happens to be a fucking space nazi.
The antagonists robots never get interesting even though there are some upgrades. The only interesting robots are the Valvraves themselves.
Oresuki 3
That was great except for the Sun-chan threatening to rape her. What the fuck.
Everything else was great though, but this scene...ugh.
Yeah seriously. I'm surprised multiple people in here aren't bugged by that. It has pretty much ruined the show for me so far due to how everyone in the show is basically letting it slide.
