I’m trying to find a version of this show on the internet that has the opening and ending in tact, but why does there seem to be a lot of versions of this show online that are completely missing the opening that’s featured on the bluray.
For the first few episodes, I was thinking this was a stylistic decision of the original show, but by episode 5 I became very confused by why it’s like this and who would think to do this.
What gives here? Did a fan manually remove the opening when they did the subtitles? Are these tips from the GundamInfo free offers? It’s a complete mystery to me.
Are these rips of the Japanese Blu-rays or an international release? If it’s international, then they could have been removed due to licensing issues in certain regions. Sometimes the cost of licensing the song isn’t worth it to the distributor. That having been said, it is odd to remove the opening and ending entirely. Usually they just replace the music.
I have no idea, but I was thinking the same thing. Usually gundam info will replace the track with a different audio file, so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be like that if it was a licensing issue.
