=ANNThe theatrical film adaptation of the Macross Frontier television anime series will open in Japan on November 21 under the name Gekijō-ban Macross Frontier ~Itsuwari no Utahime~ (Macross Frontier the Movie: The False Songstress). The Kadokawa Cineplex and Shochiku Multiplex theaters' websites both revealed the title and date, and the second issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Macross Ace magazine will announce the details on Friday. The teaser trailer for the film will premiere in Japanese theaters on June 27, which is the same day that ticket pre-sales will begin.

The planned Fall opening date for a theatrical film remake of the Macross Frontier anime series was first revealed via an itasha (vehicle decorated with character art) mini-van outside the "Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony" event in February. However, creator Shoji Kawamori and the cast members Yuuichi Nakamura (Alto), Aya Endo (Sheryl), and Megumi Nakajima (Ranka) noted in the actual event that the new date and even the title of the project was subject to change at the time. The film will include new footage of Sheryl's concert and Nakajima's new song, "Sō Da Yo." The Macross Frontier television series marked the 25th anniversary of Studio Nue's classic science-fiction franchise that combines transforming robotic mecha , love triangles, and interplanetary war.

So the first movie is not a new story but a summary, but the second one is new? Do I have that right? Could this contain the resolution for the love triangle? D:

I really hope it does, it was really open-ended. I can't wait for the movie to come out. I'm a really big Macross F fan.

Umm, this probably isn't the best place to ask, but what is Macross about?

[MasterDias]

Macross is the second longest-running mecha franchise (after Gundam). The first series, Super Dimension Fortress Macross was one of the three series "adapted" to form Robotech several decades ago.
Titles in the Macross franchise tend to have an emphasis on music, as well as a love triangle of some sort.

Macross Frontier is the most-recent series. It had a few storytelling inconsistencies and they didn't wrap up everything they really should have, but it was an enjoyable show, and had some spectacular space battles.
I am interested to see what they will do with this second movie.

Yes, the first movie will be a summary of the series and then the second movie will be all new.

YAAAY! I can;t wait to see these. Of course, it will be a million years before the fansubs come out here, since we have to wait for them to come to DVD first. I'm glad that they're going to make two.
