It Got Licensed! So What?

When one licenses an Anime or Manga title, the only rights awarded the licensee under Copyright law is in regards to the licensees derivative works added as new matter to the pre-existing materials licensed! All rights to any pre-existing material included within these Derivative Works remains the property of the original author!  USC Title 17 Sections 102 (b) & 103 http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#102

An example of new matter added would be the packaging, artwork and English script. And although the licensee holds a copyright for their translation it does not give them any claim rights to a translation that was done independently by others.

“Although a derivative work author usually has been authorized, through license, to incorporate the previous work into his derivation, he does not gain thereby a copyright in any preexisting material.”

the anime is pretty low-budget. typical toei stuff. mostly bad animation, some great animation every once in a while. there's even filler in the early part where ken fights a nanto seiken user of the week. the music and voices (especially kamiya and the announcer) make it worth watching by itself. manga's a thousand times better though.
