Macross Frontier to have a film in a decade
Macross Frontier ~Labyrinth of Time~, the short will show alongside the upcoming Macross Δ Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!!. Macross franchise creator Shoji Kawamori will direct, as well as penning the screenplay. The music will be produced by flying DOG, and the anime itself will be produced at Satelight.
The Macross Frontier television anime aired in 2008 following the 25th anniversary of the Macross franchise. The Macross Frontier: Itsuwari no Utahime film premiered in 2009 as an alternate retelling, and was followed by the Macross Frontier: Sayonara no Tsubasa sequel film in 2011.
The “SANKYO presents Macross F Galaxy Live 2021 ~Madamada Futari wa Kore kara! Watashi-tachi no Uta o Kike!” concerts, the first standalone live Macross Frontier concerts in a “about a decade,” were scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Tokyo. However, they were delayed due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the Japanese government’s declaration of the state of emergency. Instead, the singers May’n (Sheryl Nome) and Megumi Nakajima (Ranka Lee) streamed and commented on a compilation video of a 2010 concert on Saturday, before announcing the new short.
