The problem is that not having a dub is the kiss of death for anime in North 
America. So while yes, the original BGM/SFX track is MIA IIRC, I really 
think that in order to make a profit off such a dated anime (yes, it's a 
classic, but classics don't sell) Bandai will have to dub it.

Either way, it will be better than my old US Renditions VHS. Of which I lack 
the last volume. But then again I lack a VCR so that's no biggie.

Now the big question is when will Bandai announce Royal Space Force. To the 
best of my knowledge they haven't announced it yet, but have named their new 
"Criterion"-esque line after it. So they're either really confident that 
they will have it eventually or just really love the name Honneamise.
