Following that, Macross Frontier: The Wings of Farewell will begin screening on June 30, 2022.

“The Macross Frontier fleet is on its way towards the center of the galaxy when it encounters a hostile alien species known as the Vajra,” reads the official synopsis for Macross Frontier: The False Songstress. “A concert by touring popstar Sheryl Nome becomes ground zero of an attack where both flight school trainee Alto Saotome and aspiring singer Ranka Lee are caught up in the chaos.”

“In the aftermath of the events of The False Songstress, Sheryl Nome remains aboard the Macross Frontier as her health begins to rapidly deteriorate,” reads the synopsis for Macross Frontier: The Wings of Farewell. “Meanwhile, Ranka Lee has become a singing sensation in her own right, and prepares for her debut concert just as a joint military operation to hunt down the Vajra Queen gets underway.”
