Thanks, I'm glad you liked the interview.

It certainly does seem silly that they haven't capitalized on their original scores. It doesn't take much effort to submit it to the iTunes store, the Amazon store, and wherever else downloadable music can be sold.

I wish I could say something nice about the American GT score but I really can't. I like some of his work on the films though.

Submitting to iTunes is easy, it's the licensing mess with Funimation that's a *&^#$ to work out. I watched Bruce go through it, it about drove him nuts. And that was before the lawsuit stuff...I missed all that completely.

Interesting. Is there a preferred email address or other method to contact FUNimation to express appreciation for Menza's work on the movies and request some sort of digital release?

What was the deal with Bruce and lawsuits anyway? I heard something about that way back in the day (like 2003 or 2004) but was never sure what it was all about.

I'd be on board with this. A lot of the dub music is worth releasing, I think- but we need FUNimation to know that we would be willing to buy it. From somewhere.

When Gods comes out, that'd be a good time to push new merchandise and cash in on nostalgia.
