New Macross Anime Project (Anticipation and Discussion)
Looks like we have a new Macross anime being produced (by Sunrise of all studios!).

Studio Tatsunoko, AIC, Triangle Staff, Ashi and finally Satelight all had their hands in producing something Macross. So having Sunrise isn't that surprising. It's actually pretty positive news to my ears if you ask me. Hell, I wish Sunrise produced Macross back in the day, because at least it would retain the kind of creative independence that is Gundam, and not be marred by that ugly mess of a lawsuit involving that disgusting daylight robbery organization known to all of us as Harmony Gold. - Tak

Frontier, Delta advertisements and overall Macross appearance in SRW listed Big West as it rights owner. Looking back at Delta launch, the system seems to be Big West decided on new Macross theme and it product distribution then decided which studio accordingly. I'm guessing they chose Sunrise because the studio is, currently, the most competent studio to penetrate international market from start; felt like they can just settle with any studio if there's no such goal in mind.

Who is directing is important, since this is Sunrise, after all. Macross tend to have a significantly more positive view on humanity than Gundam, and that's partially what sets the former apart from the latter.
Also, the soundtrack. I've long hoped for Hiroyuki Sawano to do a Macross soundtrack, but we'll see about that one. - Tak

Some people shit on Kawamori when things go wrong (like in Delta) but I'd say most of the time shit happens because the sponsors don't let him do things his way.

Yeah, executive meddling will exist regardless of production company chosen to helm a project. Though this is also a case of picking a lesser evil. When SDF Macross was in production, poor Kawamori had to contend with three different studios to finish the gig, whereas the original Mobile Suit Gundam only ever had to deal with one.
