- Someone has to be the bad guy by being factual about the Macross (not so) worldwide rollout, and that's me. - macrossglobal.blogspot.com (English)

Big West stubbornly refusing to address non-Asian, non-English Macross fans needs to be studied. No panel and booth in convention. No screening and streaming. No home video release except in France (only by a lucky coincidence). The Macross global rollout remains abysmal. It's a shame.

Right then, #Macross fans in regions overlooked by Big West and Disney+ (Europe, Latin America, the Middle East…), it’s over to you. This is your first and last chance to make your voices heard. If nothing comes of it, I’ll give up on pushing for it. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Macross Questionnaire 2026
During our upcoming October 8th BIGWEST MACROSS Industry Panel at New York Comic Con 2026, we will take some time to respond to a few pre-submitted questions. If you have anything you would like to as...

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
And it won't. From the beginning, it was claimed to be a Japanese release only, with English subs. They'll probably add Asian languages later.
010
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Outside Japan, the game is only aiming at Asian and English audiences. They'll probably add Chinese, Korean, Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian languages in the near future, like they did on Disney+. Regions such as Latin America, Europe and Middle East absolutely don't interest them.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
I solemnly ask non-Asian & non-English Macross fans not to pledge on Uta Macross. It's claimed that the game won't be released outside Japan, and Big West's behavior since the 2021 worldwide agreement clearly shows that they couldn’t care less about you as an audience. Don’t be taken in.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
I'm the bad guy who deserves to be blocked, but daily reminder that Macross Frontier is still unavailable in Spain, and by extension, in whole Europe, because Disney+ don't want to release Macross stuff across more regions and languages. With or without Big West's blessing, who knows.
011
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Beyond that, it's funny to ask westerners for help when they're still unable to bring Macross content outside English territories. And especially when they bowed down to Disney+ decision not to expand Macross sequels across more regions (Europe, Latin America, Middle East...)
000
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Big West sure got some nerve asking for overseas help to bring back Uta Macross when they bowed down to Disney+ decision not to release Macross sequels in most of the world. And with oversea rewards shipping in the US only and a region-locked game. Yeah, hard pass.

Tout ce qui concerne Macross est un running gag.

J'espère quand même que le "no ETA" vient de l'auteur du tweet et non du panel.

« We’re the rights owner but it’s Disney+ responsibility if the Macross franchise is streaming in Asia and English-speaking territories only at the expense of other regions and languages » My god. Fucking clowns.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
It took Big West and Disney+ nearly 2 years and a half to add 6 languages. Imagine how long it will take them to add more... if it's even scheduled. French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic... And that's the bare minimum.
000
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
It was reported that Disney+ added 3 more subtitles languages to the Macross franchise : Thai, Malay and Indonesian have joined English, Chinese and Korean subs. Still a bitter failure with content unavailable in most of the world, particularly in all Europe, Latin America and Middle East.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
2021 : Big West announced a Macross worldwide agreement allowing most of the franchise to be released outside Japan. 2026 : Most of the world still can't watch any Macross entry legally. End of the joke.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
It's very instructive to read considering the current state of the (not) Macross worldwide rollout. They're nice guys overall but I'm afraid it will be very complicated for Macross content to reach non Asian, non English regions under their supervision.

The crazy story of Macross Frontier movies precocious English subtitles. Featuring Creative Sphere background and ties with Macross creatives and the 2013 French screening at Japan Expo (because they couldn't show it at San Diego Comic Con). www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022...

“Make it like a Hollywood Movie” - The Story of Macross Frontier Films' Official English Subtitles
Macross Frontier: The False Songstress and The Wings of Farewell have had official English subtitles for nearly a decade. Here's the story of a trio of fans and the team at YTV who made it happen.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Thank you for sharing this. It's a shame these movies (and all the Macross content) are still unavailable outside Asia and English territories.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Creative Sphere guys are pretty close to the Macross creative team and helped when K. Miyatake lost his wife and house, but I have my concerns about their ability to manage the franchise internationally. Like I always said, I can't believe no publisher in Europe or LatAm is asking for at least PLUS.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
The Macross franchise is still restricted to Asian and English audiences (with the exception of France, thanks to Anime Ltd owning a French subsidiary), without any statement from Big West about what went wrong and/or what's going on. So... it's complicated.
010
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Pretty sure that's the case. Even their close associates have disappeared from social media.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
That's not really what I was expecting from a worldwide agreement. Or maybe I misunderstood Big West's original plan. In any case, at this rate, the next Macross might join the very exclusive club of seasonal animes that don't have a global simulcast. If it ever comes out.
000
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
The only good thing is Macross DYRL seemingly free from its legal clusterfuck. But that will unfortunately overshadow the core issue : Big West seems unable to work with non Asian, non English companies and publishers to bring the Macross franchise worldwide or nearly.
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I guess the Macross - Funko collab is what remains when you have nothing left. Streaming on Disney+ is overall a failure with content restricted to a small part of the world (85% of territories are excluded, which is a terrible and never seen ratio), Blu-rays take ages to be released...
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
The Macross franchise is still awfully handled outside Japan, with content only available in Asia and English territories for no reason, yet their priority is to release Funko Pops. Yeah sure.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Nah, I liked it overall, especially the second movie.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
Things started to change slowly with the 2021 worldwide agreement, but the Macross franchise is still unwatchable in most of the world contrary to Gundam. That small detail is generally overlooked. Maybe this will evolve with the next entry, if Big West is willing to invest the resources.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Tiens un autre gusse avec un pseudo Macross m’a bloqué. Faut surtout pas être factuel dans cette commu, et dire que le déploiement mondial est une réussite. Tellement qu’aucun média n’a relayé l’info pour DYRL.

True for SDF, but Macross sequels aren't streaming internationally contrary to popular belief (only in Japan, Asia and English-speaking territories), so I do believe Big West at least has some kind of responsibility here. Of course, alongside Disney+ being a terrible service.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
Good news, although it will totally overshadow the core issue : Macross sequels remain unwatchable in most of the world.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
If I remember correctly, AX 2025 announcements were : - Macross anime content expansion across more regions and languages ASAP ❌ - Macross Frontier & Delta BD release US/UK/FR ❌ - Macross Frontier manga release in the US ❌ Hope someone will again record the panel and upload it. It could be funny.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
That’s exactly the kind of profile I have in mind. At this point, I’m afraid we’ll have to find other ways to watch the next Macross. I never trusted Disney+, and now I don’t trust Big West anymore. I wish it could be different but their silence is not helping.
000
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
Yup. I highly suspect they (both Big West and Disney+) aren’t releasing Macross sequels globally for shitty reasons (laziness or “not worth the cost”) so I won’t give them the satisfaction of using a VPN for something supposed to be available worldwide.
110
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
Same for most of the world. Disney+ is only streaming it in some Asian and English-speaking countries.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/04/2026
Nah, some people will tell you that everything's fine with the release on Disney+, and more generally with the Macross worldwide roll out🤡 (of course, if you watch closely, it's a total mess)

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
The weirdest thing about Disney+ is that they only released the Macross content in Japan and some Asian and English-speaking territories. That's around 20 countries when the service is active in more than 100. Still don't know what went wrong.

C’est une claque même sur PS5 classique. Clairement pas besoin d’une PS6.

Macross Frontier les films, éditions coréennes full slip A, B et lenticulaire. Sortie prévue le 24 avril. Est-ce que ça va donner un coup d'accélérateur aux annonces d'Anime Limited pour les marchés anglais et français ? Evidemment, je me doute bien que c'est pas de leur côté que ça traine.

Désolé Macross, je t'aime mais c'était trop tentant.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
Can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since the Macross worldwide streaming on Disney+ announcement. My 2024 self wouldn't believe how Big West, at best messed it, at worst lied. They're utterly incompetent when it comes to worldwide management. Are they even trying to improve themselves ?
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 11/02/2026
And last hope for France too, since Big West and Creative Sphere seemingly don't want to work outside Asia and English-speaking territories. Daily reminder that the worldwide streaming on Disney+ was a total bullshit. Most of the world still can't watch any Macross legally.

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 09/02/2026
Je suis déjà convaincu que Big West et ses partenaires ne sont pas totalement étrangers à l'absence du contenu Macross sur Disney+ hors Asie et territoires anglophones, donc ça ne m'étonnerait pas du tout. Au final, c'est les fans qui sont perdants.
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 09/02/2026
Sachant que ça fait déjà plus de 6 mois et que rien n'a bougé depuis. Qu'est-ce que j'aimerai qu'Harmony Gold et Crunchyroll les remettent en place en ajoutant SDF Macross sur tous les Crunchy à l'international.
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 09/02/2026
Au moins ils en parlent, contrairement à Big West qui ne communique absolument pas sur l'état désastreux du streaming du contenu Macross sur Disney+ à l'international. Ou alors vite fait dans une convention US qui n'aurait eu aucun écho ni elle n'avait pas été filmée et postée sur YT par un random.
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
Yes, France is also supposed to get Frontier and Delta from Anime Limited. I hope that their recent acquisition by Toho won't ruin everything, just the way Rightstuf buyout by Crunchyroll did. Macross Seven, through, hasn't been announced anywhere since Rightstuf.

ANN qui force avec Kawamori et la saga Macross dispo en occident, c’est vraiment pour m’énerver ou ça se passe comment ?

Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
I also have to say that France may be an exception since we're getting home video releases alongside the US and UK (Plus and Zero). But that's only because English publisher Anime Limited got a French branch and often releases common stuff in both English and French.
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
So yes, the Macross worldwide roll out isn't working good. Maybe Big West isn't interested, despite they claimed working on expanding content to more countries with more languages 6 months ago. Or maybe it's pure incompetence.
100
Laurentくん @pegasusssk.bsky.social · 22/01/2026
Not only France, but all Europe, Latin America, Middle East, and tons on other countries are excluded from this streaming, for unknown reason. Just check the available subtitles. There should be English, Chinese and Korean only. No French, Deutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic...
