It's not licensed, but a request for it's removal was sent. Hence it's not gonna be on BBT (possible forever)

By the studio, because it was being released in the US as a BR set that cost about $600 and was a limited print/limited run edition. It quickly sold out and went out of publication. Attempts to contact the publisher about re-issuance have either gone unanswered, or that they have no plans to reissue it.
The initial reasons for removal made sense.
The fact that it is no longer available from any publisher would also be a reasonable person's guide that the reasons for that request are no longer valid.
However, that there is anything reasonable about it being released as a $600 limited release set is questionable, so what anyone might consider 'reasonable' is completely subjective. I'd suspect that it wouldn't be rehostable here unless the most conservative and careful of those who are responsible for this site are comfortable with doing so -- and given the constant pressure against all sites -- even those attempting to be reasonable, and the US's ability and permission to shut down overseas servers (may not directly, but enough money under the table, and well, governments are for sale too as well as their legal, legislative and judicial systems) it's unlikely that the most conservative and care will ever feel *comfortable*.
(If the above assessment of the situation is invalid, please educate me! ;-).
That said... um... I still think it is both reasonable -- AND risky -- but perhaps not more so than other hostings from a country that has implemented legislation against their own people for uploading such IP for foreign consumption (and despite the fact that, at least in anime, studies from japan show it is in their industry's benefit to allow such) -- the fact that the wants of the industry are being ignored and overruled by corporate pressure to implement corporate-only beneficial laws shows the enforcement arms of those governments are not necessarily operating by the will of their people nor in their best interests (that the same has been true of US-domestic enforcement of laws has been true since the Nixon days, at least, if you look at the citizens being killed and injured by enforcement actions and our prison population compared to any other country)...
So... it comes down to perception of how much you have to lose and how much you are willing to risk for each mini-battle... Sadly this isn't something public discussion can change directly -- only influence indirectly by raising awareness of all the issues...and even then the directly of that influence can have effectively random outcomes based on many unknowns...
This world sucks and is going downhill. Anime has been a bright spot...but who knows how long that will list given the general sucking power of the corps on the US who is willing to let them suck down the world...
This message of positive hope has been brought to you by some minor bout of indigestion or a passing of gas... *guffaw*...
BrainDps:
I dropped by this thread because in the "Top anime movies" thread everyone seemed to love this series (of movies) so here I am!
Is there a batch release for all of the movies? I know Coalgirls has a batch for all of the movies in 1080p, but I'm questioning the quality, so If you guys know something better then please let me know <3
Also, I read that if you want to understand the story more, you watch in this order: 2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 6, (Remix,) 7, Epilogue. No idea what "(Remix)" is though. Is that recommended? Or it does not matter?
Hey, thanks a lot! Look forward to watching this!
Unfair:
I think I watched the coalgirls release, and it was good quality so I was happy.
About the order I think you should either watch in release or in chronological depending on what you like. I watched them in the release order and I found it interesting but in the beginning a bit chaotic, but I am the kind of person who likes to think about all kinds of small mysteries and how it is all connected while watching a serie, so that way of watching was definitely the right for me. The long going story in the serie really is about the characters and there development towards each other and the things which happens in one movie is not really important in the next as long as it didn't affect any major character (as in most series I guess). So either way of watching should be just fine, since most of the stories witch start in one movie ends in the same movie. And if you do watch them in the release order you should now that it is not that different from the chronological, sure you start of in the middle but already in the second movie you get the beginning of the story, and the last three movies are the same whichever order you chose.
