Summary: BUY THIS NOW!
Review: Buy this DVD now, or you will be kicking yourself. I borrowed the tapes from a friend a few years ago, and now that I saw the dvd for vol 1 & 2 on amazon.com I had to order them. This is a gread series. I only wish that Amazon carried the original Macross/Robotech series. I would be satisfied with either (macross dubbed or subtitled.)

Summary: Macross Plus
Review: At first I was all hyped about a new Macross series because I am big fan of the Macross DYRL movie, Macross TV series, and Macross II. One thing that bugged me was the pointy noses and that the character design was different from all the others Macross series. The plot was weak in comparison to the rest of the Macross series and the voice acting was corny too. I think too much time was put into the graphics and too little was used for the plot. The only thing that kept this review from getting a 1 is that it's the most impressive Japanese animation I've seen in terms of graphics. Also, the valkyries looked weak in comparison to the VF-1S and the VF-2SS. I feel that the producers should have followed the Macross II storyline instead of making Macross Plus. It's sad how the Macross Series have taken such a pluge is plot quality with Macross Plus and Macross 7. Now all I've got to look forward to is to collect all the classic Macross Series and toys. I would only recommend buying this for it's awesome graphics and fast paced action. Despite this, Macross Plus is over hyped and is a disappointment.

Summary: One anime movies ever!
Review: This is by far one of the best movies that I've ever seen. Although it does lack some of the intense mecha action that you would expect to see in a movie of caliber. But the use of great character interaction and intense music more than makes up for that. By far one of the best ever! I definitly recommend that buy this one you'll love it.

Summary: A polished Anime that holds beauty in the palm of it's hand
Review: Terms which would be fitting to describe Macross Plus, "Space Opera", "Love Story", "Very good!". Marrying CG effects with traditional animation, Macross Plus unfolds in the most devistatingly beautiful manner anyone can possibly imagine. Foregoing the usual anime cliches of ultra violence and sex, Macross Plus throws the viewer into a wonderfully believable future/alternate universe that the Japanese do so well. The story will remind most of you of Top Gun but I don't hold that against it, also, as we have seen in Anime such as Battle Angel Alita, Blade Runner is all over this picture like a rash. Have fun trying to spot all its influences throughout the film. Criticising this film is difficult, but I felt that the music stuck out like a sore thumb in places where there should have been no music at all. Also, you could say that the film is overly sentimental in places, especially in Volume 2. Those who find soppy scenes difficult will be squirming in their seats, but hang in there as there are plenty of fantastically executed action sequences to turn the tide. To finish, I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Anime, especially more laid back anime such as Ghost In The Shell. I also recommend this film just for Sharon Apple's concerts, which are the most amazing things I have ever seen. Trust me on this one ;-)! Oh, and don't even think of getting just Volume 1, Volume 2 is also essential!

Summary: Macross Plus
Review: It was a great movie. The complex plot kept the suspense going throughout. The animators did a superb job creating all the characters and especially the aircraft/mechas.

Summary: quand le divertissement se mele a la grace
Review: macross plus c'ezst la rencontre de top gun et d'electric dreams, une sorte de saga pop rock melodrammatique teinté de triomphalisme militaire. la simplicité du scénario est compensée par une admirable rythmique dans les rebondissments de l'histoire. quant a la musique de Yoko Kanno, elle vous fera tantot plonger dans la louisiane, tanto, dans une rave, la musique experimental ou les grandes envolées symphonique; bref un veritable regal pour les oreilles et les yeux.si vous aimez Fushigi no umi no nadia , vous y retrouveré la palette colorée.

Summary: One of the New Classics
Review: First of all. Be aware that Robotech is an american series that took mecha and characters from Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeda. And then after terribly changing names and storylines, they put it out as Robotech. So anyone who claims Macross CAME from Robotech doesnt know the facts. With that out of the way. Lets concentrate on the film. This film represents the direction that modern Anime is headed. By seamlessly blending CGI and Cel animation, a new and wonderous style has been created. Both Lain and Ghost in the Shell also incooperate this techqnique. And the result is a visual tour de force. Combined with an intriguing story, Great Mecha design, and action sequences. You might want to rent it first....unless of course you are a Macross fan! And if you are, Buy it. You wont be dissapointed. I am just awaiting a US release of Macross 7!

Summary: A masterpiece that is NOT related to Robotech!
Review: Why can't the previous reviewer read the title more carefully when reviewing a video? It is "Macross Plus", not something like "Robotech: Macross Plus"! Macross Plus has nothing to do with Robotech, period. In fact, as any true Robotech fan would know, the Robotech trilogy is based on three UNRELATED TV animations to begin with. Carl Macek stringed them together when he put Robotech on air. Macross Plus is an anime with fantastic story AND animation AND BGM. The BGM alone is worth the price. Do not pass on this great anime!

Summary: Great animation, poor story
Review: It's hard to tell where in the Robotech story this is supposed to fall exactly. By the date, it should be about the time of the Invid invasion, but somehow it feel like it is a sequal to the original Macross Saga and is ignoring the Robotech Masters and the Second Generation stories. The animation is very pretty, fast, smooth, and lifelike, but the story is unfocused and the characters uninteresting to me. There are also some issues I have with the premise. Both these characters should be grounded and in front of a court-marshall board and someone should look at this fighter test program and realize that the competition should be between the fighters, not between the pilots. I don't know if I'll bother with part 2 at this time.
