Get ready for a bunch of Macross anime to be available streaming outside of Japan. The official site for the series announced that Disney+ will be its home starting this year, from Macross Plus to Macross Delta and beyond. It’s notable that this doesn’t include the classic 1982 Super Dimension Fortress Macross anime or its Do You Remember Love? film, both of which have “limited distribution inside Japan” distinctions.
Here’s what’s on the way to the Disney+ “Star” brand, starting by the end of 2024:
- The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012
- The Super Dimension Fortress Macross II: Lovers, Again-
- Macross Plus
- Macross Plus Movie Edition
- Macross 7
- Macross 7 the Movie: The Galaxy’s Calling Me!
- Macross Dynamite 7
- Macross Zero
- Macross Frontier
- Macross Frontier: The False Songstress
- Macross Frontier: The Wings of Farewell
- Gekijō Tanpen Macross Frontier Toki no Meikyu
- Macross FB7: Ore no Uta o Kike!
- Macross Delta
- Macross Delta the Movie: Passionate Walküre
- Macross Delta the Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!!
Here’s a celebratory visual from Macross F character designer Risa Ebata:
This follows the end of the decades-long dispute over Macross rights in 2021. At the time of this writing there’s no specific date in place for the launch of any of the above titles, but hopefully they’ll be able to stick to the planned 2024 release window.
