Disney+ Unveils Epic ‘Macross’ Anime Lineup for Global Streaming in 2024!

Summary

  • Disney+ will stream numerous anime from the Macross franchise in 2024.
  • However, neither the original series nor the feature film ‘Do You Remember Love?’ will be streamed by Disney+.

‘Macross’ is the sexier version of the Gundam series and carries an air of enthusiasm and happy-go-lucky charm to its characters that the Gundam franchise rarely ever allowed.

It is one of the most popular franchises with a huge fandom. Despite its vast popularity, the series did not have a proper streaming platform, and Disney+ is finally redeeming this fallacy.

The official Macross website announced that the “Star” brand of Disney+ will stream numerous anime from the Macross franchise in 2024.

Macross F character designer Risa Ebata illustrated a visual to commemorate the news.

However, due to an agreement between Big West and Harmony Gold, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross series from 1982 and its feature film remake The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? are listed as “Limited distribution inside Japan.”

Fans are excited about this fantastic news but are also slightly disappointed as the site isn’t streaming the original series. Some fans hope Disney+ will acquire HG’s rights, but it is doubtful.

Overall, it is a good day for Macross fans, so rejoice!
