In 2040, on the colonial planet Eden, the Ministry of Defense is developing a transforming super-stealth aircraft, a new advanced defense vehicle to counter alien attacks. An extrovert jet fighter maverick is assigned as the new test pilot on the project but competition heats up when he discovers that his old rival is a test pilot for a competing aircraft. The arrival of a mutal ex-girlfriend adds more tension to their conflict. This dramatic, visuallly superb and critically acclaimed 4 part anime series is now available in one complete box set and specially priced for its 10th Anniversary re-release.Despite its title, Macross II: The Movie is not a feature but the six-part 1992 OAV without the title sequences. One of several sequels to Superdimensional Fortress Macross (known in the U.S. as a component series of Robotech), Macross II is set 80 years after the initial adventure. For decades, alien invaders have been kept from Earth by holograms of teen-age singers performing pop songs. Then the Marduk, who controls their Zentraedi warriors with the songs of “emulators,” appear. The nature of the Marduk threat is discovered by brash journalist Hibiki Kanzaki and ace mecha pilot Silvie Gena, who form an odd romantic triangle with the emulator Ishtar. Fans of the Macross continuity tend to love or hate Macross II with little middle ground. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and older; contains violence, minor profanity. –Charles Solomon

No, I haven’t seen it and perhaps it would be quick to judge without my seeing it, but every Anime fan I know of who has seen it essentially said it was awful. So awful that in fact all sequels based upon the Macross universe just pretended that the events in this movie never really happened (Just like Highlander II)
I’d spend my hard earned bucks on something else, like Macross Plus (now there’s a good Macross movie)

I gave it 4 stars, because I have seen the cable version and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, this DVD IS NOT dubbed in English. The hardcore anime fan usually prefers the Japanese with English subtitles version. Well that’s not me. I admit the English voice actors usually sound overly hormonal, but I tend to watch these movies at night, while I am lying in bed and particularly during the second, third, and so on viewing, the last thing I want to do have to concentrate and read subtitles. So I made it 1 minute in the movie, then re-boxed it and returned it to Amazon. It’s a shame, because I looked forward to it.
