The Tezuka Osamu Manga Museum in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, is currently holding an exhibit to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Macross and 10th anniversary of Macross Frontier. Titled “Macross: The Art 1982-2018“, the exhibit includes sections dedicated to each animated entry in the franchise (yes, including Macross 2), Macross the First, and a selection of Macross Frontier artwork and sketches. It also contains a large VF-31 and YF-29 in Battroid form, as well as collaboration art (Macross characters rendered in a “Tezuka” style, and a Frontier piece by Risa Ebata inspired by the world-famous Takarazuka Revue.

Several cafes and restaurants around the museum are holding collaborations with the exhibit, offering Macross-themed foods (Pineapple cake, anyone?) and collectible coasters.

While photos were not permitted throughout the majority of the exhibit, the following is a gallery taken around the museum itself as well as a few specific areas that did permit photography.

Passionate Oshare Macross Delta, the latest in the long series of Macross-themes pop-up shops, opened at the Shinjuku Marui Annex department store on August 25th and will run until September 10.

Despite there being no special guests or autograph sessions scheduled, this Oshare Macross has proven to be extremely popular (as mentioned on the SpeakerPODcast) with some items selling out on day 1 and nearly all items having sold out within its first 5 days of operation.

The following are some pics that the we managed to get on day 2 (we were unable to get in on opening day) while some of the merchandise was still in stock.
