The first two episodes were originally edited in to one hour-long episode for the show's premiere on 5 October 1982 in the Osaka region. The opening of the show was changed to avoid any shots of Hikaru in a Valkyrie or the Valkyrie's "Battroid" (full robot) mode.
In 1989, Macross was re-broadcast with a new opening sequence, using "Super-Deformed" characters, to promote a "SD Macross" line of toys brought out by Bandai.
