According to the Robotech Shrine blog, Harmony Gold may not be teaming up with FUNimation for the next flick Robotech: Shadow Rising, even though the two companies found some success with 2006’s Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. Apparently the companies had a dispute over funding vs creative control: basically, FUNi wants more creative control in exchange for its funding, and Harmony Gold is like “oh no you didn’t!” and stuff.

Apparently the split isn’t yet definite, though. The changes required by FUNimation include switching to a Japanese animation studio and shared story/movie direction. So we’ll have to see what Harmony Gold does.
