Macross finalmente se lanza por primera vez en EE. UU. después de 40 años

La compañía se está expandiendo con nuevos proyectos y el relanzamiento de su famosa película original es solo el comienzo de una celebración más grande.

Anime Expo 2026 será el primer lugar en Norteamérica en mostrar la película original de 1984, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? Con la asistencia de muchas personas importantes del mundo del anime, Anime Expo es verdaderamente el mejor lugar para celebrar la historia de la industria. Esta emocionante noticia sigue al reciente lanzamiento de varias series de anime Macross en países occidentales, presentando la querida historia a una nueva generación de fanáticos.

La primera película de Macross se proyecta por primera vez en Norteamérica

Anime Expo 2026 se llevará a cabo del 2 al 5 de julio. El evento comenzará con una celebración del anime mecha el día 2 y concluirá con más contenido con temática de mecha el día 5. BIGWEST organizará un panel Macross el 2 de julio a la 1:00 p. m. PDT, pero los detalles específicos sobre el panel aún son limitados.

The future and lasting impact of the franchise will likely be central themes, particularly given its growing international fanbase over the last year. Anime Expo 2026 won’t just focus on the newer series, though – fans will also have a chance to revisit a classic installment from 1984.

The classic anime film Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? will have its first official Western screening on July 5th at 12:00 pm PDT. The film has been difficult to release outside of Japan due to complicated legal issues. It’s essentially a movie version of the original Macross anime, and its footage was also used to create the series Robotech. Because of these connections, the different versions couldn’t be released in the same territories until now.

Hulu started streaming several Macross anime series in 2025, but the very first series and its movie weren’t included. This release suggests that licensing restrictions are starting to ease, and attendees of Anime Expo 2026 may be among the first to see the results of these changes.

In addition to the Macross happenings, Anime Expo will host a number of prominent figures from the anime, manga, and video game worlds. These guests include Hiroyuki Watanabe, formerly the editor-in-chief of Monthly Shonen Ace and currently an executive at Kadokawa, plus voice actors Masakazu Morita, Machico, and Daisuke Hirose. These voice actors have contributed to popular series like Bleach, Uma Musume, and the upcoming 2025 Hatsune Miku anime film.

Bandai is famous for its Mobile Suit Gundam series. It’s also strongly linked to the Transformers franchise – the original VF-1 Valkyrie toy was actually used as the basis for the iconic Autobot character, Jetfire.
