    Honestly, you can go without giving the sixth UY movie an English dub. Not only is it regarded as one of the least preferred works of the anime within the fandom, but ending the franchise as far as the dub goes with a movie literally called The Final Chapter that adapted the final arc would give it a sweet bookend for the forseeable future.

    Just my regards, though.

    On a 1-10 scale, how bad did the sixth UY movie suck in your opinion?

    Not a fan, but the Wikipedia article says that it's generally considered a stinker.

    Partway solution suggestion: make it an original video animation (OVA) Japan-only release until at some point in this TL's future someone imports it to the States under a "complete collection" banner or something of that nature.

    Yep, that's how they call it in Japan.

    Of note though, I think it bears mentioning that it was via the OVA market how Kitty Films, the company behind the UY adaptation, came into the fore. They started out adapting an epic space opera called Legend of The Galactic Heroes and they were working on its fourth season at this point in our timeline. (I remember hearing they couldn't get a network in Japan to air the show, so they went DTV, for which consumers eagerly went for).

    Considering the UY series was such a big hit in the States in this timeline, might it be possible to import Legend of the Galactic Heroes to the West early in this timeline? (we only got it three years ago, officially) . With Star Wars under their belt, I think Fox might be interested, and there's plenty of stuff in it for the sci-fi/SW crowd to go gaga for.

    Either that, or a company that would use it to have a slice of the space western pie. Might I recommend giving the opportunity to MWS or someone like that?

    Y'know what, considering they willingly banked eleven years of genetically-mutated reptiles, earned tons of moolah out of it in our timeline, AND gave the go-ahead for a gritty final season as a sendoff, I approve!

    In other words, 110 episodes of War and Peace in space, brought to you by the same folks (and maybe dub cast, hopefully) who brought you Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles.
