When is a speedsub not a fansub?

That, and do you know how expensive it is to have to buy this stuff one DVD at a time?

Well he's got a point, especially if you're buying the R2 Japanese DVD releases. At least 6000 yen for 2 episodes minimum. And by individual volume in the US $15->$30 with epcounts of 2 to 6, which makes waiting for the box set of some series', a very attractive idea.

As for the music rights front in Macross. Macross Frontier's music was sourced from one label: JVC/Victor/Flying Dog, the same label the performers are signed to. Gundam Seed on the other hand has music sourced from Victor, Sony Music Japan, Epic.

Besides, I think that once they finishing releasing Macross Frontier in japan and box-set it, Bandai might release a sub'd version everywhere else.
