renegadeleader1 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 ANN just posted this https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-10-19/new-macross-anime-project-announced-with-singer-auditions/.80094 The New Macross show will be called Macross Delta and set in 2067.
mickyg Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Wow! Anyone think that title means the YF-30 might get another run as an honest to goodness VF-30? Good news for the Macross saga!
aceoftherebellion Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 HYPE GET Cannot wait to see more developments on this front, holy crap.
abbadon Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Yes! Finally some news! Hope to know more in the coming months.
MacrossCN Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 2067銀河を揺るがす！あらたな歌姫はキミだ！！！新歌姫オーディション開始！！！ http://www.macross.jp/audition/
Astralith Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) (Sigh) I was REALLY hoping for a redux of Macross combining DYRL and the SDF series or something like Macross The First. I'm still happy something's in the works though. Delta... Triangle... I see what they did there. On the plus side, maybe we'll get a BLUE CHRONOS! Edited October 19, 2014 by Astralith
antibiotictab Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hmm. A new songstress... I've got to catch up with the info.
JB0 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Δ is cool. It's not the coolest greek letter, but it's cool nonetheless. I think it's cool enough for Macross. Also: Poor Mylene got evicted from the ad. Edited October 19, 2014 by JB0

Kowamori's made it pretty clear over and over again that he considers that story done, and is probably never going to revisit it in any real way. Macross the first only happened because Mikimoto was willing and they saw how popular Gundam the Origin was. We'll probably have actual variable fighters before we see a redo of the original series.
Tochiro Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Was at the announcement tonight :-). The crowd went freakin' wild :-)
Primus1X Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Will it premier in December 2015 then? Was at the announcement tonight :-). The crowd went freakin' wild :-)image.jpgimage.jpg Where did you take that picture? Edited October 19, 2014 by Primus1X
MacrossCN Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Where did you take that picture? Fire Bomber 2014 LIVE
Nekko Basara Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Delta as in wing. Delta as in triangle. Delta as in difference. Delta as in change. I like it!
sketchley Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Just to be clear, it's not clear if the triangle/delta symbol is supposed to be read as "delta". There is nothing on the few images released so far that hint or suggest at how we're supposed to read it. It could very well be "Macross Triangle", or even something bizarre as "Macross Turn Triangle" (a la "Gundam Turn A". As much as I'd like to throw my support into the "it's a Greek letter" camp (as Kawamori-san has a penchant for appending Greek letters to enemy Valkyries), I'm inclined to opt for the "it's a stylized triangle", because love triangles are one of the core themes of Macross, and the hero Valkyries get Roman letters, not Greek ones!

TMBounty_Hunter Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 There go my dreams of a Fire Bomber 2060 anime. Oh well. Hopefully they'll strike gold again at the auditions like they did with Megumi Nakajima last time.
Roy Focker Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 One thing I really miss about the first Macross series is that it took place only 27 years (from 1982) in the near future. Every big series took place about 50 years in the future from the air date. Since 2067 is very close to the time of Macross Frontier. I predict the look of the series won't drift too far away.
aceoftherebellion Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I thought Chisuga Haruko was pretty great too, I'm sure whoever they pick this time will also be awesome
Gerli Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Great News! Delta? triangle? Whatever! We Want it!!!
Primus1X Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 So auditions are this December but it will premier next year or later?
skullmilitia Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 2015 is pretty ambitious. I'd say full series you're looking at 2016. It was only six months ago that Kawamori said he was still working on a story. So it still needs story boarding, scripts, voice actors, singers, and animation Per episode usually runs 4-5 months.
raptormesh Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Simply happy there's more Macross stuff on the horizon.
cool8or Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Great news! I hope not having to wait 4 years to see some Hasegawa model kits, like in Frontier.
Gubaba Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 So auditions are this December but it will premier next year or later? Pretty much, yeah. I'm surprised they're doing the auditions already, though... it seems WAY too early for casting.
chyll2 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 excited on the new valkyrie design. maybe vf-29 and vf-30 will be CF by now

I'm gonna go with macross scalene until proven otherwise.
SchizophrenicMC Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Maybe the triangle is a reference to CGI polygons
A_Man_and_a_Woman?! Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I am over the moon with the announcement! I'm looking forward to yet another awesome accompanying soundtrack. So this one will finally answer the question of what happened to Scott Bernard and Admiral Hunter's Expeditionary Force right? JUST KIDDING!!! ...put the pitchforks down. Wasn't Hikaru's call-sign in DYRL Delta-1? Coincidence? Probably...
BeyondTheGrave Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Delta as in wing. Delta as in triangle. Delta as in difference. Delta as in change. I like it! Or Delta Airlines.The entire series takes place in an airpirt
Scyla Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 The setting of the show takes place In Atlanta?
Gerli Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Can someone post the link to this Kickstarter project...? Oh wait
Nekko Basara Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Or Delta Airlines. The entire series takes place in an airpirt Oh wow! Could it be the Flying High reboot that everyone's been clamoring for?
VF-15 Banshee Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Pretty much, yeah. I'm surprised they're doing the auditions already, though... it seems WAY too early for casting. Maybe they want the winner to get a bit of experience before the show premieres? Wasn't Hikaru's call-sign in DYRL Delta-1? Coincidence? Probably... That was the bridge's call-sign.
xrentonx Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 YES! Macross-Three-Sides-and-Three-Angles here we come!
Marzan Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hell yeah!! The new Macross project is rolling. 2015 is going to be a good year.
