- amyjess 8y ago> Also a powerhouse in IP licensed video games iirc, esp licensing Sunrise anime. FYI, Bandai has actually owned Sunrise since 1993. Gundam had become so integral to Bandai's business that they bought the studio that made it (over the objections of Gundam's creator, though). Their video games are first-party, not licensed. Interestingly, Bandai was a significant distributor of anime in the US for a long time, so that meant US releases of Sunrise anime were some of the only anime that was sold in the US first-party and not under license. A few years ago though, they shut down US operations and Sunrise anime is now distributed in the US under license by Nozomi Entertainment.
- lostconfused 8y agoIm sorry, I’m not very knowledgeable about the plastic model industry, so I can’t answer that question. Unfortunately, I can’t really make a statement on the plastic scale modeling kits, probably because I’d be eradicated from the industry if I made his true feelings known. - Yoshiyuki Tomino https://www.toonzone.net/nyaf2009-yoshiyuki-tomino-q-ampa-panel-report/ https://www.toonzone.net/nyaf2009-yoshiyuki-tomino-q-ampa-pa...
