(2018) Unknown Macross TV series News & Anticipation Thread

[s07195]

I left the Macross forums mid-Delta, around the same time I dropped Delta because forum discussions were souring me on the series.... But I came back today to say...

Gee guys, can't wait for Macross FB Delta amirite? :P

[Diluc]

I don't think it will be frontier direct sequel, the frontier casts had fully developed character development and to resurface main love triangle is obsolete the movie and tv had concluded that, i think they only return like Max and Millia in macross 7 as side characters.
Frankly, i am not really excited with it this, feel like Kawamori re-use macross frontier to cover his shame over delta fail to hype the fans again I prefer to see returning cast from macross 7 or maybe original.

Delta was not my favorite Macross gig, but I wouldn't go as far as describing it as the Gundam Age of Macross or Kawamori's shame.

It was not that bad, just left much to be desired.

Now that you mentioned it, do we know the merc-sales data of Delta? We know that the song albums sold well since its Macross, but what about the other merchandises like DVD/BD, plamo, action figures, games, etc?

[John117xCortana]

Yay! The Galactic Fairy will return!

I wanna see the trio again. Sure the triangle is concluded and the result is Alto and Sheryl ending up together but I wanna see how they live their lives.

And Ranka chan....I wanna see how far she's come now.

I saw the ad and got pretty excited, but like magnuskn I won't get my hopes up just yet, I mean when they said "new movie" maybe they mean a new music video perhaps? we'll see this sunday I guess.

But hey, if it's something big like a new movie or series or something little like a new music video (probably for the new pachinko they announced) more Sheryl is always awesome!

[dmaxzero]

Delta left me sore and resentful.
Any new Macross show will have to win me back. So no hype, no nothing for me.

[Convoy]

Is this new Sheryl movie supposed to be the same thing, a separate thing, or a separate linked thing to the "new project" announced at that Walkure concert in January, which started this thread?

It occurs to me that a new anime altogether would be a fitting thing for an anniversary, but it is this year, 2017, that is the 35th anniversary of Macross. But I repeatedly hear that Macross Frontier was produced for Macross's 25th anniversary despite broadcasting in 2008.

1st Macross 35th Anniversary Project announced. Sheryl Nome new song & film (MV)

The "film" is the MV, a music video.

[Dash_Hunter]

I guess I'll post this here even if it has nothing to do with the new series but the New Sheryl video was being discussed here, so...

Here it is:

Edit:
Here's a youtube version

There's a better angle here:

I'm not sure if it's just the low quality masking things, but the CGI animation segments don't look as awkward as they did in the Nyan Clips?

And god do I love Ebata Risa's art...

Also after quick google searching, SANKYO does pachinko/slot machine type things don't they? It's likely this was made to be fitted into a machine in conjunction with all this anniversary stuff

[magnuskn]

Hm, is it just me or does she look a tad older than in the series? Not the best song, to be honest, however it pretty clearly wasn't the entire song, either.

[Gravitas Free Zone]

So very lewd.

How long has it been since Frontier?

- Tak

[magnuskn]

Eight years in real time.

So yes, I would think she looks... older...

[magnuskn]

Well, d'oh. The point I was trying to make is that maybe this is not only a promotional music video, but a sign of things to come, in terms of our mysterious new series.

One can theorise on the health benefits of V-Type virus if it doesn't kill you.

Also, this being further along in the future meant that she technically isn't an idol anymore, and has graduated into being a "real singer". Most idols never managed to make that leap, but Sheryl did it.
