| Great news. Hope it'll be good like Delta. |

| Just pls....not another Delta. What a trainwreck when it had a promising start. |
 |
| Mirage is still best girl T_T i hope this will be a remake of the original series but high chance it will be a new story and new characters |
| Hopefully it'll be better than Delta; which wasn't bad it just left a lot to be desired by the end. |
| Please let it be the same as original or maybe Frontier with better story. They better add some Jet transforming Mechs with Sound Speaker as equipment. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| After a trainwreck like Delta, it's hard to stay optimistic. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| If they do another idol centric installment like Delta, make them the pilots, seriously Delta missed out on being a very neat anime by not having them as pilots. |
 |
| Just when I finish Macross, I thought I only had to watch 7, Frontier, and Delta, and now this one comes up? Well I'm glad it's still going. More anime for me to watch next year! |

| Make Macross great again. |
| I hope they remake the first Macross |
| Oh great, another mecha franchise I liked that is being milked to death... |
| Great news! Really enjoyed Delta (even though none of the songs are as memorable as Frontier's). Eh, it's for 2018... oh well, will put it off my mind for now |
| A new season of Macross is always welcomed, i just hope that it will not be an another trainwreck like Macross Delta. |

| This is fabulous news. Delta massively redeemed itself toward the end proving me wrong when I thought it wouldn't work for people of my age that were around for the original. I just hope this one has more Klan Klang! |
| why and why so soon I want to believe in Kawamori but I'm starting to doubt he still has a decent show in him |

However Delta has way better soundtracks so combine both for the perfect recipe Well, Delta was quite good. Not great but good at least..... I was saying I don't want to see anything worse. Of cos if it can be as good as Ai Oboete Imasu ka it'll be better. |

| After that piece of shit Delta was, which might actually even top 7 in how bad it is, I really can't give a damn about new series from Kawamori. He's trying hard to prove that Aquarion wasn't just an accident and I don't need to see that. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Unpopular opinion but I personally liked Macross Delta. I look forward to this. |
 |
| I'm a huge Macross fan, I've been one since the 80's. But I actually dropped watching Delta. It wasn't really Macross IMHO, more just a J-Pop singing show that happens to have Valkyries. I have a feeling Delta probably was very successful, so they are going to make more of the same thing. |
| If only Macross could follow Gundam's footsteps and remember to satisfy fans of the classic series as well. But I guess Kawamori is going all in on the current Idol craze and is probably gonna give us another series of the Idolm@ster: Variable fighters edition. Such a shame... |
 |
| @Tarotist You could also watch Do you remember Love? and get out of Macross with a fully satisfying experience. (add maybe Plus for all the noise it made, or II for more of Mikimoto's designs) |
| I don't want another Delta... but I'll still watch it. |
| Delta was a cringe fest, so hopefully he'll tone down the idol bull and explore characters/relationships much much better. Just gimme good dog fights, decent aliens (NO ROYALTY), a female lead that isn't 12 and I'm sold. |

| december 2018 here and nothing came out. Maybe 2019? |
