Yes, unfortunately, I think they do.

[up] Yeah, I think it was part of the agreement, it's just been clarified they don't have absolute veto power like they used to claim.

I remember hearing from a voice actress who said that she's on board if a Macross (English) dub were to happen for the other series that are being legally allowed to be sold in English.

Looks like subs are popping up for Absolute Live!!!!!!!

Perhaps I'll watch it when I don't have a huge workload (from my Masters).

Finished AL a day ago.

Only gripe is that I wished they did a timeskip (evne by a year) for Heinz to do his peace treaty thing with the UN even though Windermere kinda started the war.

Honestly, I really wouldn't mind it if the next Macross series takes nods from Top Gun: Maverick. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if it does, given just how popular the film is in Japan.

Plus, it would be sort of returning the favor, as TGM had nods to Macross Plus. tongue

That is… interesting. Was not told of any Macross references in TGM.

None of these seems to be referenced in the Top Gun: Maverick page.

(And I didn't watch Top Gun 2).

So, I guess its safe to link this meme if L Dragon can't provide a source?:

Metal Gear Rising meme, just to be clear if it wasn't obvious by Raiden on the thumbnail.

Okay, the main thing that I've heard from other fans on Twitter and the like is that the opening test scene felt very much like that one scene from Plus. Just that no one has bothered to put them in the film's trope page yet.

A few users have chimed in on what similarities they saw.

I heard that the release of some of the Macross shows in North America are delayed.

Don't think so. Right Stuff IIRC didn't say anything.

The next Macross animated project is coming...from Sunrise!

Probably because Studio Nue is occupied with the next Aquarion anime. Still, unless I'm wrong, this Macross project will hold the distinction of being the first project to be made after the mind-boggling sharing of the Macross trademark between Big West and Harmony Gold.

(Actually, is Disharmony Bronze even a thing anymore? Frank Agrama is no longer with us, so is his estate still attempting to have some hold over the trademark at this point.)

EDIT: Oh hang on. Big West has dibs on all Macross stuff that came after 1987, so…

[up] Following Gundam's example, eh?

Actually, an Idol Singer who also pilots a giant robot that turns into a jet would be a major grab for a new Macross series, especially if it's the first one made since the trademark kerfuffle was resolved.

[up][up][up][up] The issue is that female MC will most probably mean M-F-M love triangle (unless they go GL route, which I doubt). And both previous such examples ended not so good.

But I am interested to see what Sunrise can make with this franchise. I liked all installments to some extent (and I was never able to get into Gundam ironically) so I will check it out.

That's meant to be an issue? And so what if the last attempts weren't that good, so they're all doomed to not be good?

I mean the current Gundam show is going the yuri route and that's been a runaway success, so maybe they'll be inspired to double down on the GL with Macross?

New Macross? Ah nice, the movie was 2 years ago, so I was wondering about the next release.
