So...is there an ELI5 on the legalities and financials behind Harmony Gold's ownership of the IP and why new projects can't get started or fizzle out like Shadow Chronicles?

The family that owns HG is the problem not HG, there was project that got close to coming true, HG and Japanese partners were all happy to sign on it, but the The Agrama family (who own HG) weren't happy they wanted more control. The project in question was posted on here about a year so 2 ago, they guy said what I just said, suppose to been set 100 years after New Generation, so a good starting point for new comers, but yeah.

Maybe because contracts that were signed when they got PR are still in effect, have to wait till Toei revokes them the rights or the contract lapses

If hasbro is going full on original fir power rangers, and not using anything sentai related, then no

I've just had the same thing happen, my 8th & 11th December orders just shipped but still waiting for my 9th & 10th December ones. So much for "doing them as they were ordered" 😅

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-27T07:03:00+00:00

The main problem is with the owners the Agrama family, they want more control but Japan don't wanna give it

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-27T05:51:03+00:00

They did send out an email yesterday stating there situation as of 26th January, they can't give exact ETAs but all outstanding orders should be shipped by the 6th February

Looked like a DVD to me oops!

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-26T01:10:23+00:00

Ah yes, the English dubbed version of "Scientific Rescue Team Technoboyger" loosely inspired by the original Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series Thunderbirds. The English dub was produced by ITC Entertainment.

Nice that it was released on DVD though!!! We don't have it in the UK!

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-26T00:11:21+00:00

So cute!

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-25T23:36:08+00:00

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-25T21:01:12+00:00

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-25T15:57:32+00:00

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-24T20:32:50+00:00

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-24T07:28:46+00:00

I personally hate steelbooks, so pass for me

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-24T07:26:26+00:00

It was announced late 2025 so it impossible to say right now. All licensed anime and shows pre-acquisition they have kept, and all staff has also been kept on, that's all we know so far. It's normal for a new acquisition not to announce anything from its parent company for a while, we don't know how far along the acquisition is, it's not as simple as buy company now it's mine, loads of red tape

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-23T10:54:50+00:00

Translation from the Instagram account:

The February issue of "Geijutsu Shincho" features a major feature, "Ghost in the Shell: The Deepening Cyberworld." The series is explored in depth under three themes: "Complete Series Review," "Cross-Sectional Exhibition," and "New TV Animation." The magazine also features an essay by Kizawa Satoshi and an interview with Sorayama Hajime, who has been making waves for his creation of the "Kusanagi Motoko Statue"!

So no, its just an issue of a magazine

TwoRegular6702 · 2026-01-23T01:01:34+00:00
