- Someone has to be the bad guy by being factual about the Macross (not so) worldwide rollout, and that's me. - https://macrossglobal.blogspot.com/ (English)

Right then, #Macross fans in regions overlooked by Big West and Disney+ (Europe, Latin America, the Middle East…), it’s over to you. This is your first and last chance to make your voices heard. If nothing comes of it, I’ll give up on pushing for it. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Macross Questionnaire 2026

During our upcoming October 8th BIGWEST MACROSS Industry Panel at New York Comic Con 2026, we will take some time to respond to a few pre-submitted questions. If you have anything you would like to as...

I solemnly ask non-Asian & non-English Macross fans not to pledge on Uta Macross. It's claimed that the game won't be released outside Japan, and Big West's behavior since the 2021 worldwide agreement clearly shows that they couldn’t care less about you as an audience. Don’t be taken in.

Big West sure got some nerve asking for overseas help to bring back Uta Macross when they bowed down to Disney+ decision not to release Macross sequels in most of the world. And with oversea rewards shipping in the US only and a region-locked game. Yeah, hard pass.

« We’re the rights owner but it’s Disney+ responsibility if the Macross franchise is streaming in Asia and English-speaking territories only at the expense of other regions and languages » My god. Fucking clowns.

It was reported that Disney+ added 3 more subtitles languages to the Macross franchise : Thai, Malay and Indonesian have joined English, Chinese and Korean subs. Still a bitter failure with content unavailable in most of the world, particularly in all Europe, Latin America and Middle East.

2021 : Big West announced a Macross worldwide agreement allowing most of the franchise to be released outside Japan. 2026 : Most of the world still can't watch any Macross entry legally. End of the joke.

I guess the Macross - Funko collab is what remains when you have nothing left. Streaming on Disney+ is overall a failure with content restricted to a small part of the world (85% of territories are excluded, which is a terrible and never seen ratio), Blu-rays take ages to be released...

The Macross franchise is still awfully handled outside Japan, with content only available in Asia and English territories for no reason, yet their priority is to release Funko Pops. Yeah sure.

If I remember correctly, AX 2025 announcements were : - Macross anime content expansion across more regions and languages ASAP ❌ - Macross Frontier & Delta BD release US/UK/FR ❌ - Macross Frontier manga release in the US ❌ Hope someone will again record the panel and upload it. It could be funny.

Macross Frontier les films, éditions coréennes full slip A, B et lenticulaire. Sortie prévue le 24 avril. Est-ce que ça va donner un coup d'accélérateur aux annonces d'Anime Limited pour les marchés anglais et français ? Evidemment, je me doute bien que c'est pas de leur côté que ça traine.

Sad to see everyone welcoming the fact that Macross is releasing worldwide when it's actually not. From panels and booths in conventions to screenings and home video, including streaming on Disney+, almost everything's happening in Asia and English-speaking territories only. Facts.

The Creator of Macross released his film Labyrinth at Tokyo International Film Festival 2025, and we got to interview him about Social Media, AI, and Macross finally releasing Worldwide! youtu.be/-vMT7ygUL94

Deuxième campagne de recrutement côté Japon pour les 45 ans de la saga Macross (2027), "afin de la rendre encore plus populaire", tandis qu'à l'international son déploiement est toujours un échec cuisant presque 5 ans après l'accord mondial. Peut-être que 2026 sera la bonne (mdr)

What "wider world" for Macross ? Almost everything's occurring in Asia and English-speaking territories only since the worldwide agreement nearly five years ago. Another missed opportunity to point this out. It's really hopeless.

Anime News Network@animenewsnetwork.com · 9mo ago

At the 38th Tokyo Film Festival, we were able to speak with Shōji Kawamori about this upcoming feature film, Labyrinth (and also about Macross finally being released across the wider world).

Some people are still wrongly believing that the Macross franchise is streaming worldwide on Disney+ and/or Hulu. Nah. Truth is, it's only streaming in Japan and some Asian and English-speaking countries. That's more or less 20 countries when the service is active in more than 100. You're welcome.

So it seems that the Macross franchise is finally reaching Latin America with an incoming theater screening of Macross Plus the movie. Lol. Took them only 4 years. Reminder that, with the very exception on France only because of Anime Limited French branch, Europe still didn't get anything.

Third quarter of 2025 and Macross sequels are still missing on Disney+ for most of the world. Reminder : a global release was announced back in March 2024, effectively started summer 2024 for Asian and English audience with the last roll out in January this year for the US.

Most of the world cannot watch Macross sequels on Disney+ due to region lock and lack of translation, but most of the world might be able to enjoy SDF Macross on Crunchyroll soon. Quite hilarious. Pretty sure nobody expected that.

I guess either Big West don't want to team up with Crunchy "Robotech" roll, or Crunchyroll doesn't have any interest on releasing old IPs physically. In any case @alltheanime.com saved Macross again. That's a very good news for us in France. And probably the greatest news of the year for me.
