Last year, Macross should land on Disney+ as part of an effort to bring the franchise outside of Japan, especially in the west. At the time, it was a big deal ever the different companies to control it and its western equivalent Robotech reached an agreement after they spent years not on the best of terms. For whatever reason, the jump to Disney + does not seem to happen in 2024 as planned, but it seems that it really happened in the next few days.
According to a tip given by Anime News Network16 out of 18 Macross The anime shows and movies will hit Disney+ and Hulu in the US on Monday, January 13. It seems that the franchise’s weird issues here in the west have never been resolved: when Macross came, ni Super Dimension Fortress Macross and its film version, Do You Remember Love?, it’s on Disney+ or Hulu. They are two important parts of the whole business, but Harmony Gold’s hold on the license prevents those from being streamed worldwide outside of Japan.
So the full list of Macross Monday’s media hit is as follows:
- Macross Zero
- Macross 7
- Macross 7: The Galaxy Is Calling Me!
- Macross Fb7 Listen To My Song!
- Macross Frontier
- Macross Fronter: The Lying Songstress
- Macross Frontier: The Wings of Farewell
- Macross Frontier: Labyrinth of Time
- Macross Dynamite 7
- Macross Delta the Movie: Passionate Valkyrie
- Macross Delta: Absolute Live!!!!!!
- Macross Plus
- Macross Plus Movie Edition
- Gekijō Tanpen Macross Frontier Toki no Meikyū
- The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012
- The Super Dimension Fortress Macross II: Lovers, Again
It may not be complete, but it’s still not a bad amount of Macross things that come in services. Like last year, we hope that things will work where both versions of Super Dimension join the rest of their animated siblings, and the entire franchise can be watched all in one place.
