Macross creator
Shoji Kawamori commented, For creators like me, our work only comes to life for when it is viewed by people. It seems that the time has just started to move, after years and years of stillness. He added on Twitter, I thought this dark tunnel would not ever end and reach the light, but gradually I started to see the dawn coming out of the long-lasting night.
Original character designer
Haruhiko Mikimoto stated in a comment, On a personal level, I was frustrated not only over the fact that the global reach of the anime titles were impeded, but so too were all the production design sheets, the illustrations and the comics that were created through the involvement of many people.

The Macross anime franchise is one of the most beloved among those who appreciate sci-fi stories, but the international distribution of most of the series has always been hindered by an extremely murky licensing situation.
Big West Officially Recognizes ‘Macross’ License by Harmony Gold
As related by an unnamed special contributor on the Funimation blog tonight, Big West has officially recognized the licensing of
Macross by Harmony Gold which happened in the 1980s as part of the creation of
Robotch alongside two other series. The recognition is part of a long, complicated, and a byzantine series of lawsuits and claims made over the decades.
According to the press release from Big West, this is the critical part;
“The landmark agreement immediately permits worldwide distribution of most of the
Macross films and television sequels worldwide, and also confirms that Big West will not oppose the Japanese release of an anticipated upcoming live-action Robotech film. The agreement also recognizes Harmony Gold’s longstanding exclusive license with Tatsunoko for the use of the 41 Macross characters and mecha in the Robotech television series and related merchandise throughout the world ex
Those battles have raged ever since, and are the reason that no
Macross series from the last 20 years including the outstanding
Macross Zero has ever seen an official international release.
Until now! Harmony Gold and Big West just announced today that they’ve finally made peace, issuing a statement on the official Macross site that reads (emphasis mine):
Tokyo based BIGWEST CO.,LTD. and Los Angeles based Harmony Gold U.S.A. announced an agreement regarding the worldwide rights for the legendary Macross and Robotech franchises. This expansive agreement signed by both companies on March 1, 2021, ends two decades of disagreements and will allow Bigwest and Harmony Gold to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential of both the Macross and Robotech franchises worldwide.
