The 1984 film The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? has never had a proper North American theatrical release. Anime Expo's screening on July 5 at 12:00 p.m. PDT breaks that streak. The convention also scheduled a Macross panel hosted by BIGWEST on July 2 at 1:00 p.m. PDT, though details on what the panel will cover were not announced.
Over the past two weeks, Anime Expo has added several guests to its 2026 roster. Voice actor Masakazu Morita (Bleach, Kingdom) and voice actress Machico (Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!) are among the attendees. Also appearing are voice actor Daisuke Hirose, writer and artist MEME50, Kadokawa executive Hiroyuki Watanabe, producer Ena Hamabe, and NextNinja CEO Masayuki Yamagishi. Anime Expo 2026 runs July 2-5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
