Along with the new Delta movie, there's also going to be a brand new Macross Frontier short film, "Macross F - The Labyrinth of Time."

It doesn't say much more than that, but honestly, I'm expecting basically a long music video.

Hm, Ranka looks noticeably older in that image. Hopefully we might get some proper closure on the second movie. Yep, I know we have official confirmation that Alto comes back and Sheryl wakes up, but it'd be nice to see it. I dare not hope for some proper closure for the TV series.

Confirmation from Shooting Star or the manga? Or was there something after that?

Kind of excited about new Frontier but don't want to expect too much.

Tak · 2021-02-07, 12:04

I uh... actually dig that version of Ranka.

Oh ... $h!t... *runs*

Never forget, in some versions she ends up with Banana.

I definitely don't mind that, not at all...

John117xCortana · 2021-02-10, 01:33

I'm curious though. Why bring Frontier back like this after so long?

magnuskn · 2021-02-10, 05:17

I presume because it's still quite popular in Japan? I know Macross doesn't make a big blip over here in the west, due to the vultures at Harmony Gold ( to my eternal annoyance), but it is much more of a cultural icon in Japan, AFAIK.

John117xCortana · 2021-02-11, 22:19

Instead of teasing us with music videos and short films can't they go all the way and make sequel story? We really miss Alto, Sheryl and Ranka...

Kazu-kun · 2021-02-11, 23:03

I don't really miss Alto myself. He was a really boring character. Sheryl and Ranka saved the show for me so I wouldn't mind a music video if that's what this short movie is all about.

Frontier · 2021-02-11, 23:18

I'd love to see Alto and maybe resolve that story in visual form...maybe even throw in Yuichi Nakamura doing some dialogue, but that's just me being greedy

magnuskn · 2021-02-12, 06:07

Alto was a great character, in that he was flawed and conflicted, while still doing the right thing. Aside from his constant yelling in combat (which I found a bit grating), he had pretty subtle characterization, but it was definitely there. If you paid attention. But he definitely had a decent character arc and was the steady rock Sheryl could depend on, even if he was grumpy about it.

I'd love to see a more definite resolution to the TV series, but that is probably too much to ask for. This is probably going to be in the movie-verse.

Tak · 2021-02-14, 18:18

Oh what is this? Round... 12075437925623794689123701283032749237849237841 of the Romance Battle?

Here we go again...

Hey, just defending my boy Alto.

So far no ship battle sighted.

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2021-02-15, 11:07

Come on, boys. We all know that Basara is the most awesome Macross MC. Ore no Uta o Kike!!!

Agree to disagree.

Any news on the fan reaction in Japan when this news was announced?
