Not 1, But 2 Macross Frontier Movies

Barely did my comrade get to write about the Macross F movie's final premiere date, and now another couple of highly-related news come poking our way. When the film was first announced last autumn, we naturally assumed it to be a solitary project. Not anymore, thouhg. As it turns out, there will be two theatrical Macross Frontier anime films - as revealed by the series' official website (via ANN).



It's said that this second film will bring a new story set in the Macross Frontier universe (along with new music to top the Japanese charts), and from the sound of it, it will feature completely original material. Unlike the first film, which, may I remind you, will recycle a certain amount of footage from the TV anime.

This also means that the second movie will take longer to make, so it's no wonder there's no premiere date attached to it, at this time. Hell, it doesn't even have an officially complicated title yet. Meanwhile, the first one - Gekijouban Macross Frontier: Itsuwari no Utahime (The False Songstress) - remains set for a November 21, 2009 premiere in Japan.

And in more recent news, a brand spanking new Macross manga began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Macross Ace magazine, over the weekend. Titled "Nyan-Dra: Alto Meets Sky", it's being adapted by Megane Kikuya based on the first story in the Macross Frontier drama CDs. Right, fascinating... So, how about that Klan Klein!
