Summary: a response to viewer from san jose
Review: "One of the best anime movies ever, but this DVD has a flaw!!" that flaw you just mentioned was done intentionally. what you saw was the movie version of the series which was re-edited and some scenes were removed and new sequences added. the fight scene between guld and the ghost fighter was extended in the movie. the movie version is scheduled to be released on dvd in feb 2002.

Summary: THIS IS A CLASSIC ANIME
Review: I bought the first DVD so, i have to buy the second one. What can I say? Just IT's MACROSS PLUS. One of the best animes I ever seen before. The final battle is espectacular. It's combine ordinary animation with pc animation plus an excellent music with the concert of Sharon Apple in the Earth.

Summary: Dissapointed...wait for the OVA version
Review: I bought this series becaues I saw a fan-made music video featuring Gould in his YF-21 fighting the Ghost X9. This fight scene is one of the best airplane fight scene is not the best in all of anime. It features Gould exceeding the G-force limiter on his fighter to be able to crash into the Ghost fighter sacraficing himself to bring it down. As a result his eyes popped along with the blood vessels in his body. When I watched the DVD that I had just bought, that dramatic scence simply featured Gould turning up his thrust and running into the X9. My first reaction was WTF!?!?!? Where's the scene that I paid almost $30 to see? Not only that, but a few other small scenes were missing too. Well I later found out that this was simply the regular version. The extra scenes I was looking for is in the Macross Plus OVA version. It is not out yet but planning to be as of this post. My suggestion? Don't buy this even though it does have some amazing fighting nonetheless. Wait for the soon to be released OVA version. I know I am! (wish I did my homework before I bought this)

Summary: One of the best anime movies ever, but this DVD has a flaw!!
Review: I have seen almost all Japanese anime movies and this Macross Plus series is absolutely one of the best ever made. Although the movie has no excessive violence or nudity, it is pretty obvious that it was made for little mature viewers who wants something more than typical action anime. The characters development was done so much better other typical animes and the final revelation / redemption scene of Guld was so movingly done. The awesome aerial fighting sequences will take your breath away and the haunting music score will stay in your memory for a very long time. However I was so disappointed to see that the single most exciting and poignant scene involving Guld was deleted in this US release DVD version. In the original Japanese VHS version that I saw few years ago, the aerial fighting scene between Guld and the Ghost plane was little longer and much more intensely done. When Guld finally catches up with the Ghost plane, he actually sees it right in front of him just before both of his eyes caved into his skull due to the extreme G-force. After few scenes later, it shows his destroyed plane floating in the space as the camera closes in to show his heroic lifeless body. This scene was so beautifully done and I was so moved by it. I don't understand why it was deleted in this US release DVD and it's a real shame that other US viewers won't be able to experience it. If you want to feel the full impact of this movie, go out and rent the original version from one of the Japanese VHS rental shops. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: The Macross saga continues in prime form.
Review: I heartily recommend the entire 4-part "Macross Plus" series, but especially so the second episode...it has moments that positively engrain themselves in peoples' memories. In fact, some of the more hypnotic segments from this episode have been used in psychedelic film loops at underground rave parties for years now! When watching, it's easy to see why, particularly during the lush and sensual virtual reality concert, featuring the ultimate Idol singer...the artificial (and psychotic) diva, Sharon Apple. The other sequence that really takes the cake is the test-piloting sequences of experimental fighters in the desert. It is, quite simply, brilliantly done. The ambiance of a high-security military base is captured entirely, due in no small part to the animators visiting real United States Air Force bases in their pre-production research. The traditional Macross love triangle is back, at once blatant and yet reserved: the actions may be intense but all of the main characters are holding something back from each other. And the military intrigue subplot continues to lurk beneath the surface, to be fully revealed in Episode 3. But in the meantime, you'll have a ball with this one. For real.

Summary: Great graphics, awesome music, superb storyline
Review: If you like the Macross Saga, this one is a must buy. The animation on this movie is one of the finest ones done by the Japanese. The story line is flowing and continual. The music is quite awesome. If you are interested in anime, this one is one of the few that you should put in your collection.
