Fathom Events Presents MACROSS PLUS MOVIE EDITION

Macross is a 4 episode original video animation that premiered in 1994 to the amazement of audiences. This anime features fast dogfights and detail never before seen in anime. Fathom Events is bringing this back to the big screen on December 14 as a new movie that will feature never before scenes and a more streamlined story. Audience will also get to see an exclusive special interview with creator/chief director Shoji Kawamori.

Here is the official synopsis:

Combining the intricate designs of Shoji Kawamori, character direction from Shinichiro Watanabe (“Cowboy Bebop”), and the musical stylings of renown composer Yoko Kanno (“Cowboy Bebop,” “Ghost in The Shell: SAC”), “MACROSS PLUS MOVIE EDITION” takes place in the year 2040 A.D., three decades after the glassing of Earth in what has since become known as Space War One. On the colonial planet of Eden, U.N. SPACY is testing transformable variable fighters to counter further alien attacks. Two prototype aircraft piloted by former childhood friends, loose cannon Isamu and the Zentradi mixed alien race Guld, go head-to-head in aerial and robot combat superiority over a lucrative military contract, and the affections of mutual love interest Myung.  

Given how popular Cowboy Bebop is, seeing something else from its character designer and composer could be worthwhile. You can get your tickets for this event now here.
