It has been over fifty years since mankind ventured into outer space in order to avoid extinction.
After years of mingling with various extraterrestrial life forms,
they had begun to establish a large interstellar civilization.
However, there are still many unfamiliar threats in outer space.
2067 AD
Var Syndrome.
It suddenly destabilizes a person's mind and pushes them toward violent behavior.
People grew to fear these tragic events, which could happen anywhere and anytime.
However, amongst the fear, some rose up valiantly to fight back.
Walkure, a tactical sound unit.
They sing with their trans-dimensional voices
under the protection of the Delta Platoon.
Today, the curtain rises for their next stage.
Did you find her?
No.
Damn that stowaway.
Where the hell did she go?
This is such a fucking pain.
All righty.
Planet Al Shahal
Lulu, I'm here!
Keep going! Keep going!
Hayate!
Hayate Immelmann.
Come to the office immediately.
Aye, aye.
Here.
Here's your last paycheck.
Am I fired?
Of course you are.
You slack off when it's sunny to lay under the sun,
- and you slack off when it's raining because it makes you feel blue.
- That's it?
There was a stowaway.
With the Var riots, the time for peace is long gone.
Anyway, it's your last day, so don't end it on a bad note.
Shame.
You got jobs done when you weren't lazy.
Don't end it on a bad note, huh?
Let's get to it then.
Watch out, dude!
He's dancing.
Don't drop the cargo!
The sound is dancing.
It's blue? White?
No, this sound...
is the color of the wind!
It's a bit awkward, me and you.
Don't get so nervous.
Let's not count that one.
Just—
I'm sorry!
Could you let me go?
What?
So she's the stowaway?
Here, hop off.
You're letting me go?
I'm just going to assume you have a good reason.
Thank you so much!
But yeah, I definitely do.
The mayor told me, "You're already fourteen. Stop wasting your life away."
"Go get married to the apple farm heir."
I told him no, and he said no.
So I took the chance and snuck on a ship,
but my butt hurt and using the restroom was hard.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Freyja Wion.
I am truly... truly...
hungry...
Uh...
I could only eat apples on the way here, so this is fresh!
So you snuck on a ship because you didn't want to get married.
That's not all!
Look!
Is this the song that helps neutralize the Var?
Yeah!
It's Walkure's latest song!
"Love! Halation THE WAR."
And?
They have an audition for a new member on Planet Laguna next week!
So that's the main reason?
Indeed!
This isn't Laguna, by the way.
This is Al Shahal.
Laguna is 30 light years next door.
I've made a terrible mistake!
Tough luck.
I guess it's time to give up.
Here, have another.
No, I won't give up!
I'm going to get to Laguna
and join Walkure!
What's your motivation?
Do you have to ask?
Because I love Walkure!
I love to sing!
When I'm singing, I feel alive.
It makes my Rune all shiny and glittery!
That's dumb.
You're not gonna make the cut.
I will!
I can fly if I ride the wind.
Don't you have something that's special to you?
Nope.
No hobbies? No girlfriend?
Nope.
A job?
How can a job be that sort of special to you?
That sounds like a fun life.
Who asked you—
There she is!
Oh!
Thanks for the Japanese doughnuts!
Stop!
I won't!
What a weirdo.
Welcome to Al Shahal.
The direct bus to Shahal City leaves from terminals three through eight.
Excuse me!
Excuse me please!
So this is what they call a city.
Don't be discouraged.
That voice...
It's the color of a rainbow.
There she is!
I better run!
What's up?
What's going on?
Something wrong, Mikumo?
No, nothing.
Situation normal.
Makina and Reina, how is it going?
Hello.
This is Makimaki.
Nothing special at Shahal City.
Those are Regult 104s.
How cute!
This is Reina.
Nothing from the compound sensors.
I'm gonna start making spicy miso jellyfish potstickers at my eatery.
Would you like—
No.
I prefer my jellyfish raw.
Swallow it whole.
Jellyfish sashimi with some banana sake.
Commander Arad.
Don't fool around on a mission, Chuck.
Yes, sir!
But you sure there's gonna be a Var here?
There have been ten cases of Var Syndrome in the past month.
Three of which had abnormalities in their biological fold waves.
We detected an abnormality near Shahal City fifteen hours ago.
And our order from Lady M is to find out what's responsible for that.
So, Mikumo.
How's our naive little girl doing?
I don't know.
I can't go undercover with her around.
Mikumo, please answer!
Mikumo!
Goodness.
She always does this.
Fuck her.
"That sounds like a fun life."
What's the commotion?
They found the stowaway.
What an idiot.
You made this way too hard.
Surrender and go back to where you're from.
I refuse!
If I try, I can fly.
Hop on!
You again.
Okay!
Fuck!
Don't let them get away!
Ahhhhh!
What was that?
Hey, why did you save me?
I don't know.
Which planet are you from?
Or are you...
from an Immigration Fleet?
I know someone who can help,
so why don't you just—
I'm not going home!
Are you gonna fly to Laguna?
I will.
I can fly if I ride the wind.
If I risk my life, I can fly.
Risk your life?
This audition isn't worth your life.
It is!
Why do you keep implying the audition is stupid?
Because I don't have anything special.
I've been to a lot of places and tried a lot of things,
but nothing felt right.
I thought I could find something somewhere too.
But...
Well, I'm not surprised!
You can't just go somewhere.
You have to go somewhere you want to go!
I want to sing songs I love!
For as long as I possibly can!
So I'm not going home!
Ow...
Freeze!
You pervert!
I caught the stowaway!
Stop! You got the wrong person!
I can arrest you for sexual harassment!
Hello!
I'm the stowaway!
Oh?
Crap!
I'm sorry.
Say, you don't work for the airport.
Who are you?
I am Second Lieutenant Mirage Farina Jenius
of the Third Lagunan Combat Team, Delta Platoon.
Delta Platoon?!
What's your name?
Hayate.
Hayate Immelmann.
Please send any complaints to my—
By Delta Platoon, do you mean the one that flies with Walkure?
Y-Yes.
This is wonderful!
What's going on?
She's apparently your fan.
Fan?
That's right!
10th Marine Assault Battalion, commence flight to Al Shahal.
Roger.
My output isn't consistent. Can you take a look?
Okay, in that case—
A song?
We're detecting abnormalities in biological fold waves!
Why are there so many at once?
This is in the Zentradi base too.
Well, this couldn't get any worse.
Var Alert. Var Alert. Level...
It's the Var!
Roger!
I'm on my way.
Please go find a shelter.
What is it?
What's happening?
There's a Var outbreak.
This is going to turn into a battlefield.
Battlefield?
This is a warning!
Go back to your base!
If you refuse—
It's no use!
They've all been taken over!
What's wrong?
I hear a rainbow colored voice.
There's finally some action.
Welcome to Walkure
Here we go!
It's show time!
Music is mystical!
Welcome to Walkure
I knew it!
It's Mikumo!
Welcome
I'm happy you're alive
Music is love!
Welcome to Walkure
Music is hope!
Music is life!
Lend an ear to the songs of a goddess!
Super Dimension Venus, Walkure!
It's Walkure!
I'm all dizzy from love and can't stop myself
I'm sending an SOS, halation the war
The story had begun when I woke up
Wow!
This is so cool!
Something felt different, and I rubbed my eyes
I'm ready to fly, three, two, one
It's time to break this peace and raise the flags to fight
I'm gonna fly around the galaxy and crash! Let's deculture!
I'm going to fly at maximum power!
I want to stay in the middle of this emotion
My SOS is on fire, love changes the war
Wow!
Amazing!
Delta Leader to all units.
Contain the Var inside the soundstage.
Formation Walkure Wing!
- Roger!
There are so many blinding colors
Shoot!
Reirei!
The emotional storm is sending me flying
This is Makina.
Send power over to the multidrones.
Delta 4, copy.
I'm all dizzy from love and can't stop myself
Love, love, marry of the
We can whisper using the gleaming stars
One of them is late.
Say farewell to the painful days
Every day is so colorful now and I get prettier by the day
Mikumo!
You're fucking kidding.
I think I have an astronomical chance to be with you! Let's deculture!
I can't help but be on fire
Deculture.
I'm all dizzy from love and can't stop myself
Let my SOS for love be heard
Halation the war
I'm sure there's more
Walkure, my heroes!
I want to feel squeezed
They neutralized the Var with music.
Squeeze me gently
Activate hold receptor.
I want to share more of this feeling with you
Okay!
The song's working!
Several unknowns detected in Area 108.
All units, prepare to engage!
I repeat! All units, prepare to engage!
They're preparing to engage.
Engage in T minus 300 seconds.
Aerial Knights, prepare to engage.
Ride the wind, my aerial knights!
For the great wind.
Let me show you guys how it's done!
Three down.
Enemy approaching.
Don't drop your guard, Bogue.
Master Herman!
Drop the master.
Yes, sir!
Unknown approaching!
Shut the gates!
Major Arad, I have some news for you.
Unknown units have destroyed the Al Shahal garrison.
They're headed your way.
Unknown units?
New enemies?
Enemies acknowledged.
All weapons free.
Formation Hermes!
Roger!
Aye, sir!
You're mine!
What is this jamming?
It split?!
Take this!
Mirage!
Chuck!
Leave it to the great Chuck!
Submarine attack!
Come and get me...
Got him!
Too easy.
Now, Messer!
Roger!
This wind...
They're good.
Take this!
Three! Two! One!
He dodged them?!
Calm down.
Lord Keith!
He's fast.
A death reaper?
This flight pattern is...
Leader, they're headed your way.
Everyone, be on guard!
Go to hell, Walkure!
Mikumo!
Mikumo?
The Var is coming back.
Reirei!
Walkure...
You've done it now.
I fell in love when I saw his eyes
I went for him with everything I could
But I want to know even more about him
Makina...
Reirei!
Let's sing.
So I'm burning with passion
Yeah!
New questions pop up left and right
And my feelings get hotter and stronger
So I won't hesitate to go even further into the unknown
Are they crazy?
Everyone has love and dreams
No...!
Oh my gosh...
I can't hold it... I'm about to...
But don't make them half-hearted!
Lulu...
Lu lala!
It's a dangerous love
Time to show some Winderemere power!
I can't go past the borderline
She's a Winderemere?
So I'll destroy it all no matter what
I'll destroy it all no matter what.
She's risking her life?
My head is full
What's that voice?
I'm going even further
It came to my chest.
It's detecting activity?
My mind is melting
There's someone else!
I can't control my body
I can't control my body!
I'm coming
I'm coming!
Prologue on the Battlefield
I had friends I joked around with
I had a person who was dear to me
I know I'll see them again someday
So I'm always full of life
The brighter the light, the bigger the shadow
The more I burn, the more ashes I make
The more I run, the clearer it becomes
I see the danger line
I could easily wish for freedom and peace
but if I stayed still, I'd rot
It's a dangerous love
There's no border here
It's abnormal, I know
I'm still accelerating faster
My head is full
If there's a limit for me
I'll break past it
Destruction and reconstruction
That's how I remain myself
That ended at a good scene.
Yeah.
I was like, "No!"
The final frame for this showing was 391, I think,
but the storyboard goes up to 450 or so.
There's a little more.
That was the public pre-showing of Macross Delta.
However, the first episode will contain what happens next.
When will Macross Delta start airing?
The official airing will begin in...
Spring 2016.
Well, this is crazy.
Yeah.
Spring's really soon.
I agree.
Macross Delta will start airing in spring 2016.
Only a few months away until Macross begins a new chapter!
Stay tuned for more news!
