It transpires the recent rerun of Macross Frontier was worth fans watching for the umpteenth time after all – the finale ended with a surprise announcement of a new Macross series.
Details are utterly lacking but the wording of the announcement is at least fairly clear that this will be an entirely new iteration of the Macross franchise rather than a mere remake, remaster, or effort to rekindle interest in the now fairly moribund if hugely successful Macross F franchise.

OmNOMENOMENOME
As long as Nekki Basara is in it, I'm happy.
Macross 2199?
hopefully they'll feature whatever happened to original Macross crew.
Not likely. Its been a long time since Frontier was first announced and the one reason I was interested was to see if the girl chosen as Ranka, Megumi Nakajima, would become a rising star similar to Mari Iijima for the original series. Don't know how it turned out because I never got around to watching Frontier, partly because I had mix feelings for Macross Zero on whether it had the spirit of the series or was the antithesis of it: Seriously, I got so turned off by the final episode that not even Shadow Chronicles could outdo it.
Speaking of final episode; if I remember correctly, is Frontier the one that people hated how it ended because of the "Choice-D" decision by the main guy character? By that I mean the guy had 4 choices: A)picks Girl 1, B)picks Girl 2, C)chooses Both Girls, & D)chooses Neither Girl.
what ever it is, as long as it stay true to the macross spirit then i am content ...
If it's anything like Macross Frontier, I won't be watching.
The "Princess" dumbass and the moe hybrid zentran ruined alot that series.
Really maybe be a new saga, new chars and the classic "dont fucking know what happened to Hikaru, Misa, and the rest....they are Urban Legends desu".
The only thing to i see new about the classic franchise is Choujikuu Yousai Macross The First but only have for the moment 3 vols trad.
I girly main character ruined it for me.
Oh you don't like moe? Well it fucking sells. Guess what they want to do? Sell.
Get ready for pink Macross and an idol who rides it while singing. And the enemies will likely be some dipshit bug or boring creature.
Bye Macross as we knew it! Bye great story telling and awesome characters!
Hello moetard faggotry.
Sex sells better.
well,it was a red valkirye and an idol who rides it while singing an playing guitar.
It would be amazing if they did a series about what happened to Hikaru, Misa and that colony ship that disppeared. There is so much that they could do.
Hell imagine, that ship disappeared because it encountered a PROTOCULTURE ship
*GASP*
Or they could take a page out of Battletech & have the descendants of the crew come back to conquer for the restoration of peace, freedom, & idol-singing to humanity.
That would be quite ironic since Battletech copied a lot of its early mechs from Macross...
Moe hybrid? Klan featured in the absolute moment of the series. I don't think I've ever been more upset watching an anime than I was the moment Michael dies, and the music was perfect that moment (Diamond Crevasse). Now go watch episode 21 and tell me she's moe....Klan puts on a fighting display the likes of which Macross had never seen...she kills THOUSANDS of Bajira. Klan rules. She may be moe when she's little but un-microned she makes Milia seem weak.
BTW, its known what happened to the original chars.....Misa/Hikaru get married and have a daughter Miku. They're all on the SDF-2 which disappeared in 2016.
Miku...!? They gave birth to Hatsune Miku!!!? So that explains it...
He talk about ranka lols, Ranka is a Hybrid zentran-human, Klank is zentran 100%, and is true Ranka and Alto ruined alot the series, Alto the dumbass naive char who have the most stupid reason to be a pilot, and Ranka, a moe who dont have any interesting except act like a moe to the fandom, be tons better a triangle about Sheryl-Michael-Klank or Ozma-sheryl-Cathy Glass.
Pd: Miku? wtf are you talking lol, dont exist a char in macross who have that named? damm this lols of today my god.
Pd2: Lol in this site any dumbass put + to a commentary whiout understand any, this site is near to be the new Yahoo answers.
No, really? We all know they disappeared in 2016; what we don't know is what happened AFTER 2016. 2016 was only 4 years after the war.
About Frontier, every character is forgettable except of Klan and Michael. What a piece of shit that anime. I really don't want to remember it.
Spot on, sadly must chance are its getting a shittu moe character or two.
Fucking moe is the cancer of anime.
i with you there
YES!! My body is so ready for a new Macross!
Does this mean we will finally see Macross on a list from Japan?
They can never forget love. It has to be remembered.
but do YOU remember love?
Love hasn't been the same since 1984.
Damn, that book really changed things, didn't it?
Macross music and vocals are usually good so I'm in.
I hope they do something similar to this

da... fuck?
yus looking forward to next series!
i'm only looking foward to next series if they stop that idol-singing bullshit.
Macross can't be Macross if there are no idols to sing your enemies into friendship mode.
Macross is about defeating or demoralizing your enemy by overwhelming them with your own culture.
YES
HELL NOOOO!!
I hope that this new series comes to the US and any corner of the world. Harmony Gold shall be damned if they try to boycott it!
Sadly, that's not going to happen. Harmony Gold has exclusive rights to worldwide distribution, not just US distribution - and the creators of Macross have stated that they will never do business with Harmony Gold ever again.
Unless HG suddenly goes bankrupt and auctions off their IP, fansubbers will be the only source of Macross outside Japan.
Untrue. At least a manga or two did appear in some countries.
Sooner of later it will eventually lose the IP, because the US congress made things more difficult for patent trolls, to which Harmony Gold also counts.
Maybe they found the SDF-2 Megaroad-01?!
The ship launched at the end of the original series that disappeared several years later with Misa Hayase and Hikaru Ichijyo onboard?
This could epic!
There's sadly a slight problem w/ this since the VC for Ichijyo committed suicide (rather young too~), but of course voice replacement might help there~~~~
Whoopie!!
Now they just need to bring back Magipoka.
the macross i liked really well is the zero-3, that was very interesting but macross frontier annoys me to the core, all those "WAKE UP GIRLS/AMERICAN IDOL" stuff that frontier showed really pissed me off.
6 years already? Time passed so fast and I feel old.
What? I've been watching this crap from the 1985 beginning. Lighten up sonny.
>>I've been watching this crap from the 1985 beginning.
*cough* Sure thing there, Mr. Macek.
