I thought Funimation had the rights to the tv series. But maybe that is just an on demand thing.
They have made no plans for a DVD release or a dub as far as i'm aware.
A new dub, and translation is being done for Arcadia of my youth as well as a restoration but i cannot remember the company, the last llicensor ran out and did not require the license.
Still no company to issue Space Battleship Yamato uncut and in DVD qulity in the USA, since the rights issues are fucked up by voyager having starblazers.
Really unfortunate when the bandai japan releases of the movies and season 1 HD remastered are exceptional.
The bandai issues of galaxy express on blu ray of the films though are an abomination as they are upscaled. They did not bother to go back to the film source. even the DVD releases of all but the most recent films barely pass muster.
I would like to see the Yamato films restored for blu ray, as well as having season 1 released on blu ray because there is already a 1080 master used for the DVD.
The West getting decent remastered copies of Harlock TV is also not going to happen the on demand versions have bad vhs quality video and engrish subs. The japan region 2 dvd's had 2 restored audio tracks the original monaural and the new 5.1. And at the time they came from new HD telecinese much like the other companies were doing.
But such video now looks inferior because in 10 plus years of technology advances newer scans would be better than a scan done in 2000.
I think Akira got a new 4k scan with the work and cleanup being done in 2K when the original HD was done in 1080i in 2001.
