Arriving in Japanese theaters on November 21, 2009 (and hopefully on DVD three months later) will be the first of two Macross Frontier movies. The first movie, Macross Frontier the Movie: The False Songstress, will be a recap of the 25 episode TV series with a little bit of new animation and new songs tossed in for good measure. Of course this would be a movie that I would very much go to see in a theater and I'd even break my own rule and go to even a fathom event if this was released in the states.
But lets face it, it's probably never going to be released here in the states if the current license holder of Macross and Robotech doesn't get off it's lame lazy ass and do something about it. Honestly I don't see that happening since I haven't heard anything at all on the TV series being licensed and it was the 25th anniversary project. That of course doesn't mean I'm not going to see it, I'll just have to wait for the DVD to be released and fansubbed. That's what I'm looking forward to and hopefully it doesn't take as long as the Gurren Lagann movies seem to be taking which the second movie seems to be taking forever to be released on DVD. Anyways back to the Macross movie. The other day I found out that they had released a trailer for the movie and I wanted to check it out which I did and then I found something really cool that made my poor little fanboy heart twitter with excitement as I found an English trailer for the movie and at first I was like "OH HELL YA!" but than I found out that it was just a fan made (albeit a freaking awesome one) trailer and nothing more than that. And I'm going to post both of them for you.
Here's the official trailer for the new movie:
And here's the fan made English trailer:
