Summary: macross plus is the best
Review: When I saw volume 1 Iwas amzed by all the arial action. Then I decided to buy volume 2. The final battle was amazing. Although I was dispointed when I saw the japnese version and found out that they cut out scene in the American version. The scene would have great with the American version, but still the American versoin still kicked butt. Macross Plus will always be my favorite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not what you would expect.
Review: When Isamu finally recovers from his injury, things start to go out of control. While Myung heads for Earth for the preformance of Sharron Apples concert on the reawakening of the Macross ship, Isamu and Guld are shocked to hear that the project they are on is cancelled because of the AI controlled Ghost developed. Angry with this, Isamu escapes the base in the YF-19, but Guld goes after him in the YF-20. As Sharron makes her premiere, Myung is held captive by Sharron. After Isamu and Guld have a little friendly fire fighting, they go after the Ghost. Guld makes a supreme sacrafice to kill it and now Isamu must now alone take on Sharron who now has control of the SDF-1. The music plays a key roll during the last episode and gets kind of creepy. Extras include trailer for episode 1 and previews for all the other episodes. Then theres the Manga Video Commerical which is a music video featuring Manga titles, the Manga 2000 commerical which just shows the title of each Manga title, Fan Club Trailer, Palm Pictures Trailer and (I dont know why they included this) an Anti-Drug commerical. The image gallery was ok, but all the pictures have text on them. The menus are pretty well setup featuring a Sharron concert. So overall, a great DVD to an already great series. Kudos to Manga.

Summary: Why?
Review: Why didnt they include volume one and two one in the same set???? What a horrible way to put these out....anyway, This isnt really a sequel but an offshoot of the Macross franchise. The characters are very well done here and the soundtrack is very cool also. The animation is AWESOME here. Ive noticed some people complain but they dont know the history of Macross which happens to be my all time favorite show so this is a welcomed addition to the macross legacy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Review - Part 2
Review: Yes, I also noticed Guld scene being cut down. (I saw that scene in Macross Plus Game edition). But I'm not talking about that.

Volume 2 brings a stunning conclusion to this series. This is where all the gritty battles start and everything wraps up. But if you want another flaw, it's in the two versions of translations on DVD. The Japenese track has a some different (and better) music tracks and sound effects when compared to the english version. This is most noticable in the main battle scene.
But alas, as I have come to realise and expect with most anime, the ending is wrapped up WAY too quickly. But apart from that, it brings a great conclusion to the series.
