ANIME MOVIE HIGHLIGHTSMacross Frontier The Movie: The False Songstress
A theatrical version of the Macross Frontier television anime series was announced in Japan during the broadcast of the 25th and final episode Your Sound ("Anata no Oto") on September 25, 2008. According to recent interviews with Shōji Kawamori the upcoming movie will be an adaptation of the story from the T.V. series. The exact release date for the new animated film is still not finalized. Japanese anime magazine Animedia originally announced that the film was planned to be released during the summer of 2009. More recent reports, however, place the tentative premiere date in fall 2009. The planned fall opening date for a theatrical film remake of the Macross Frontier anime series was announced via an itasha (vehicle decorated with character art) mini-van outside the "Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony" event that took place on February 22, 2009 in Japan. However, creator Shoji Kawamori and the cast members Yuuichi Nakamura (Alto Saotome), Aya Endo (Sheryl Nome), and Megumi Nakajima (Ranka Lee) noted in the actual event that the new date and even the title of the project is subject to change.
Recent news have confirmed that the theatrical film adaptation of the Macross Frontier television anime series will open in Japan on November 21, 2009 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, 2009 (which is the same day that ticket pre-sales will begin in Japan).
The official website of the Macross Frontier anime series has confirmed that there will be two theatrical Macross Frontier films. The second issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Macross Ace magazine had already confirmed on Friday that first film 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 second film, which is based on Shoji Kawamori and Studio Nue's latest sequel in the Macross science-fiction romance franchise, will tell a new story and include new music. (The first film re-edits the story of the television series with new footage.) No plans for further projects have been announced yet.
Macross Frontier marks the 25th anniversary of Studio Nue's classic anime franchise that combines transforming robotic mecha, love triangles, and interplanetary war. The sequel's story revolves around a fighter pilot named Alto Saotome and two singers named Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee. A new alien war breaks out aboard the Macross Frontier colonization fleet, 50 years after the story of the first Macross.
All of the anime's opening and ending songs have ranked in the top 5 of the Oricon survey firm's weekly CD singles ranking charts. The eight Blu-ray Disc (BD) volumes have each topped Oricon's weekly BD ranking charts and have collectively sold over 200,000 copies. Three manga series have been serialized so far, and Macross now has three ongoing magazines.
