Any word of Macross Frontier being dubbed? I did a google search and came up empty.

I haven't looked or heard anything, but I really wouldn't expect too either (IMHO).

Watching anime....Dub'ed....? :?:

I looked at the site I get new anime from and it doesn't have MF in english ether.
The only anime I can watch English or Nihongo dub equally is Ranma 1/2.

most of the US releases are still in the works, is my understanding. Macross II just do a preorder/crowdsource to start a newly dubbed version, most of the others i've heard of had only just obtained contracts to start the process last year. so it'll be a bit before anything releases i think.

Macross II has already been released in the US. In both nihongo and english dubs. This happening about1990.

If I had to guess why this happened is that it wasn't covered by the licensing agreement for the main-line Macross stories.

the dub done in the 1990's was released yes. and there was an aborted attempt at one in 2011. both by Manga entertainment, both were terriblely done.

but AnimEigo just started a new dub last year. which is my point. we now have all new releases of the Macross sequels being worked up, but they all got announced and started in the last two years. and it takes time to do these sorts of projects, if you want to do them well.


also, for those lookign for frontier and delta, Nozomi Entertainment has the license, distributed through Right Stuff Anime. though i think that they haven't released versions with dubs yet. but they released the shows to blue ray in the USA in 2022.
