Well, that was unexpected.
New Macross TV series in 2018:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...roject/.111595
I hope they can do better than Delta. I really do. Let's hope for a return to form with more focus on fewer characters and antagonists which get their comeuppance instead of getting off with scot-free.

I have a feeling this new project was not meant to exist. That the plan was to coax along for the next few years selling Delta merchandise and toys.
But the production team saw the writing on the wall, that the only thing that sold Okay were the music CDs. That if they left it be there would be half a generation of fans that would associate Macross as a brand with abject failure. That if they wait too long, next time there wouldn't be any positive word of mouth to hype the new series.
It is very telling that they didn't bother to even claim Delta had anything to do with the new project.

Well, that does sound pretty plausible. Let's just hope that they don't rush it and thus fuck it up.

No. God no. No more honyagorigoripikarune. I'll punch a wall.

Yeah, avoid
that
and re-do Delta!
I still think it had quite a good concept, but suffered from George-Lucas writing!

I'd rather see a return to form with a Frontier-like series.
Or Macross 7-2. With Alto as the new ship commander and Sheryl as major of the city.

Either a silly thing or a serious military one where there are consequences to your actions. Sort of like Zero but longer and less weird.
I dunno after Delta and Aqualion I don't trust Kawanyan anymore.

I'm with
Tak
. I enjoyed
Delta
enough, and it had so much
promise
, in its not so humble beginnings. It just needed more focus and better execution - and a straighter line of sight on its characters, not a single one really shone bright. What a pity. Poor Mirage... It doesn't really need a redo, but maybe a more serious show is actually what we need? One with actual consequences?
But, I dunno... Maybe it did really well in Japan and that's why they're fast-tracking another series? I'm not so sure.

I'm pretty sure Frontier did better, yet.... seven years between series?

Exactly, fast tracking is NOT a good sign, because Macross doesn't make money from DVD sales. They just sell lots and lots of merchandise, and make a new show when they felt it is time to have fresh characters to make merchandise from.
It is litterally normal for there to be years between development of new shows. To suddenly fast track a new series, one that almost certainly had nothing Delta related, is unlikely to be a vote of confidence for Delta's financial success.

I don't know... I've always heard anime is like paid advertising, so fresh anime is always good for the brand? Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

It is paid advertising usually. However they like to plan Macross shows out. I think that is one of the things that hurt Delta they changed plans in midstream and the whole thing fell apart.

Gundam had always been on fast-track. Not to mention its always accompanied by additional material, be that OVAs, small films, new light novels... etc. Though yes, there were times when fans became weary of Gundam.
Nonetheless, a new TV series is just
barely
announced. Its not as if they are picking idols right now or holding auditions. Stay tuned, we are probably way ahead of ourselves.

Someone on the main board is pushing LMK levels with unresearched bullshittery. And I just see the quotes but like. Let it go, girl. If you read here. It's okay, chill.

What is evidence when I can push my FANTASTICAL ASSUMPTIONS as FACT then back track saying OH NO EVERYONE IS MISTAKING WHAT IM SAYING. I'm totally not saying that Delta did AMAZING just that it's enough that Kawamori senpai has CONFIDENCE in his brand to act totally unlike his usual MO.
THE BRAND THAT HE'S HAD RUNNING FOR HOW MANY YEARS NOW?
THE BRAND THAT WAS HOW MUCH MORE POPULAR IN PREVIOUS ITERATIONS??
GUYS.
MACROSS DELTA WAS BOLD.
AND RISQUE.
I mean it only ripped off the vast majority of its plot and conclusion from its predecessor. It only littered it with hints of the previous show in ways that don't make sense (SINGERS MUST ALWAYS SLAP. HEY GAIZ WE SING AND WE GET WINGS.)
It only had gorgeous girls singing in floofy dresses at a whole buncha mechanical riding bishounen and shafted it's only female rider. HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY THINK THAT THIS WILL SELL ALBUMS DURING AN IDORU TREND??????
??????
????????
WHAT A FUCKING PIONEER THIS SHOW IS.

Thus why I am half-ignoring Ms. TLDR LMK 2.0.
