| I grew up on Macross and Macross Frontier... Ahhh the nostalgia. I loved Frontier, the music, the climaxes, the planning, the palatable fan-service, it was a treat for the budding anime viewer I was when I was first watching it. Hell, even now, it's still a treat. I can't wait for the rest of my ipod to be filled up with this new soundtrack. |

| That's good to hear. |
| Macross: Frontier has always been a show I'd like to check out, but I'll keep an eye on this as I'm expecting it to be of the same caliber. |

Hahalollawl said: So now that we know a new macross is on the way, for mecha fans there seems to be a lot to be excited about. However one thing seems to be conspicuously missing to me, that being a new multi cour Gundam TV series. YOU HEAR ME SUNRISE?! A NEW GUNDAM SERIES! COME ON PLEASE?! We just had one in BF so unless its G-Reco its probably going to take a couple years. Anyway a remake of the original might not be a bad idea. Most people nowadays have only really seen Frontier so to them that is the franchise and the back story is just what they've heard about from that series, but a remake would allow everyone to experience how it all got started if done properly of course. Thing is the sensibilities of today aren't as same as those of 1982 so I'm not so convinced they'd end up doing the original justice. Granted Yamato 2199 managed to do justice to the original series, while also appeasing the sensibilities of todays otaku (i.e more female characters, even more skintight body suits, more focus on romance etc.) but for some reason I don't have the same faith in Satelight and Modern Kawamori. I'd really hope Watanabe gets on this project for peace of mind but we'll see, he's busy with his own projects after all.

Origin is a movie series, G-Reco there's no concrete information yet. The person that posted the news here claimed its a movie ans everyone just kind of went along with even though no official source confirmed it but I'm not so sure. I don't think origin is a TV series. |

| A NEW MACROSS SERIES OMG OMG!!!!!! |
| Depending on if Kawamori is in his senses and makes this into a real Macross anime like SDF, DYRL, Plus or Frontier, then it should be something to look forward to more than even the new Gundam projects. Then again, he has gone insane with all sorts of random dysfuntional otaku culture combinations and Macross was already threading on thin ice with that before. I don't think he can resist bombarding this new show with his obsessions. I'm expecting this to have school life, lots of phone apps and more random super powers instead of mechs (like bringing that horrible spiritia from Macross 7 back). |
| I just thought of a good example for the whole should I watch the original questions for the Macross Franchise. To me watching Macross Frontier without having seen SDF Macross and it's sequels is like trying to watch Gundam Unicorn without having seen the original, Zeta, ZZ and CCA. Yeah it can stand well enough on it's own, but there's so many references and little nods to the franchises continuity as well as world building and terminology that'd take to long to explain that really as good as it seems you're still only getting about half the experience you would having seen what happens before it. @Nope: Macross Frontier calls back to the original, but also Seven a lot and a little bit of Zero like with the movie they were filming being based off of the story from that OVA series. It didn't really make a lot of reference to Plus though that I can recall, but I'd still say for people to watch it anyway since it's really good if not the best entry in the franchise. Actually Plus I would say is the one that could probably most be watched as a standalone. mecharobot said: Depending on if Kawamori is in his senses and makes this into a real Macross anime like SDF, DYRL, Plus or Frontier, then it should be something to look forward to more than even the new Gundam projects.

I'm expecting this to have school life, lots of phone apps and more random super powers instead of mechs (like bringing that horrible spiritia from Macross 7 back). I feel like I kind of have to break it up as a long time mecha fan, but I've never really understood this whole sentiment of late that Macross is more desirable than a Gundam entry. I mean on some level I sort of get it, no doubt something like Macross has more in common with modern anime fan watching sensibilities than a Gundam being more romance and pop music focused and all while Gundam is more about war and suffering and otherwise unpleasant stuff, but it just feels like such a hipster thing to me. Like yeah Macross has less frequent entries and therefore is better because reasons and such. It just seems to me like it's cool to hate on Gundam because it's the bigger franchise, but whatever, fanboys are going to fanboy and argue among themselves over petty details while I continue to appreciate both franchises and see what comes of the respective projects. That said I'd be totally lying if I said I'm not concerned about Kawamori as well and totally get where you are coming from. Tomino with G-Reco too worries me, but less for reasons of wanting to pander to otaku which I just can't see him doing and more that he kind of got a bit weird too and can have some strange ideas for characters and themes in his own right. Kawamori though I feel has all but totally embraced the modern age of anime and changed his style into something unrecognizable from his older stuff so I don't really know what to expect. |

| damn i hope its a remake |
| In that case I better finish watching Robotech. |
rederoin said: NebulaC3I said: In that case I better finish watching Robotech. Why watch that when you can watch the original macross? Closure? A good friend of mine let me borrow his Robotech DVD some time ago and I never finished it. |
| Hopefully they'll go full cheesy and just be what Macross was always supposed to be, a cheesy space opera with singing idols/rock bands. The more serious it tries to be, the worse the show ends up getting. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
Chinensis said: Then you must not have watched the original Macross. All the Macross titles, except for Zero, dealt with idols, mechas and love triangles.Good for the fans. I watched Frontier, I wasn't very fond of it. Pop idols + mecha isn't my cup of tea. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
Antanaru said: BRSxIgnition said: What? You were growing up on it from 1982 to 2008? Boy, that's one long childhood.I grew up on Macross and Macross Frontier... Ahhh the nostalgia. Mainly Frontier, but I did check out a few of the others because of how much I liked Frontier. |

| Been thinking about the comments on a reboot. I don't think it will happen, it just doesn't seem to be Kawamori's style. That being said, there is an alternate telling of the original out in manga form that has been fairly popular recently, http://myanimelist.net/manga/17259/The_Super_Dimensional_Fortress_Macross_-_The_First So I guess that idea has some merit, personally I want a new story...that or the story behind what happened to the Megaroad. |

Casval said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq6O4cjlLP8 Teaser Well that was enlightening. The "shadow" of a mecha in the end looked like Macross, so maybe this is a remake of the original? I haven't seen Frontier though, does it use that same spaceship model? |

I don't think that it will be a remake, I mean Kawamori never did a full TV remake of something, just one, two movies or OVA's, and I don't think that he ever will. |

| Na that silhouette of the Macross is just a typical Kawamori troll :) Probably means the exact opposite... |
Casval said: Reciprocal said: Yeah, I don't wanna see more otaku pandering of this originally good show Good to know that making a sequel to a show that is similar to the original counts as otaku pandering It is much worse than the original though, in terms of fanservice. |
| Why would there be a remake of the original? There's already a "remake" which is 'Do You Remember Love?' which the way things happen is different, but leads to the same events like characters dying different ways etc. |

Casval said: All dem idols.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq6O4cjlLP8 Teaser Am I the only one a little amused at how few installments Macross has in comparison to Big-brother Gundam? We really don't have many super-mecha franchises. |

Marzan said: that'd be nice, nobunaga the fool is a show made up of bad ideas that id think he'd of used them all up after its 24 episodes finish up. So yeah i have some hope it will be good.JizzyHitler said: hopefully its not offensively bad like nobunaga the fool was, hell i hope its not even like frontier where the side characters were amazing but the main 3 were unlikable as hell I hope Kawamori uses Nobunaga the Fool to get rid of his more zany ideas like he did with Aquarion and then is a bit more 'focused' when doing a Macross. |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Nope said: So far as I remember, he's had a hand in every Macross installment, but some of those credits may have been limited to mechanical design.Did Kawamori create all the Macross installments though? If so then I think he's created more installments in Macross than what Tomino did in Gundam. I believe he's only had a major hand in the writing or directing of 7 and Frontier as far as TV macross goes, so that's 2/3. |
Nope said: Did Kawamori create all the Macross installments though? If so then I think he's created more installments in Macross than what Tomino did in Gundam. He wrote Plus, 7 and Zero. Heavily involved in the creation of all of them except Macross II which isn't considered part of the franchise by most. |

Actually, going by his wiki page, he was involved in all of the macross projects. Except for Macross II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawamori I think the reason so many of his projects are set in unrelated to macross, is because he wants them to be a different universe, with different rules, than the macross series? Something like Nobunaga the fool(which is an amazing series) or Basqaush isen't really something that would fit in the macross universe. He's the executive director at Sateligth, so I think he does have a lot of freedom So I don't think he's being forced to keep some of his idea's outside of the macross series. |

I remember Kawamori as being responsible for the iconic VF-design in SDF Macross, but I'm not too sure what "Original Series Concept Creator, Production Supervisor" entail. Goes to show how little I know about Macross. On the unrelated projects, I think so much as he gets a lot of freedom, I suppose there just isn't the same level of demand when comparing Macross to Gundam. @Nope, even if Kawamori's got more credits for Macross, he can't quite trump Tomino's Gundam episode count. |
| Not really, Gundam has always had the edge popularity wise. scytheavatar said: Has Macross ever been as big a franchise as Gundam? AFAIK the first Macross is highly influential and well received, but not to the degree of Gundam 0079. Macross 7 wasn't that well received whilel Macross Frontier was a huge hit but not on the level of Gundam Seed. |
| this macroos serie is like gundam they are immortal. |
