I've always wanted to ask, but is there a reason the only Blu-rays produced for Gunbuster/Diebuster was of the compilation movie? I mean, if they could do that, why not for the full set of 12 episodes?
probably because they didn't want to make the gamble of shelling out to remaster the whole thing

however, for $35 or whatever it was, it is totally worth buying

Those scenes were reanimated in the DVD release and it's kind of funny how the show goes from modern 2000's quality computer-assisted coloured animation to the old cels in the same conversation.

Supposedly the only reason Macross Plus was ever released in the U.S. was some sort of loophole that saved the company involved from having to placate (read: pay off) Harmony Gold at time. I imagine that might not necessarily be the case right now, and you'd have to renegotiate everything to include BD rights anyway.
my understanding is that Harmony Gold doesn't have the distribution rights to Macross Plus (and other non-SDF/DYRL properties) pursuant to a Japanese court case that I haven't read. Harmony Gold did trademark the term "Macross" in the US, so that trademark would need to be licensed. Last I checked, shouldn't Manga Ent. still have the distribution rights? Surely they know a Macross Plus bluray would be a strong seller. From the screenshots I've seen of the BD rip, it looks amazing.
