Here is a cheaper sub only release by AnimEigo.

Haha. Yeah... It's been out of print for a while, but was uncut and had both japanese with subs and an English dub with Mari Iijima. It is interesting that Macross Frontier and Delta never got released though, considering all the Macross' did... Never understood, why not? Hmm...

I think they have only been blocking any modified versions that they consider "Robotech" and even then ADV released Robotech/Macross back in late 90s, early 00s with Harmony Gold. But other Macross series are available. In fact Animeigo, Justin Sevakis' company has the rights to Macross II the movie

I mean, anime does get licensed by companies outside the US and just like with American distributors I am sure they get provided masters of sorts for their releases... I don't get why this is such a surprise, but glad you are happy with your find.

Yeah, I already skipped ahead to "Rebellion." I think I'm gonna go back and watch the first two movies just to see what they did rework at some point.

Yeah, I read @animenewsnetwork.com article that recapped the show and movies so far in preparation for the release of the new movie and that's what made me go watch it 😊 Can't wait. I should have given it more of a fair shot when it first came out!

Just keep in mind there is only an anime for "Magical Girl Site" and from what I've seen of Madoka so far Site was way darker in story content. It's also only available with subs, no dub was made.

One of my earliest anime was "Sailor Moon" and I've read the manga for "Magical Girl Apocalypse" and "Magical Girl Site." I do wish they had adapted Apocalypse into an anime before Site was made.
