Synopsis

A.D. 2089 - 80 years have passed since Space War I changed the lives of both human and Zentraedi races. Both races are at peace on Earth when a new alien race called the "Marduk" appear within the Solar System. While covering the first battle between the U.N. Spacy and the Marduk fleet, SNN rookie reporter Hibiki Kanzaki discovers Ishtar, an "Emulator" that enhances the Marduk's combat abilities through singing. Hibiki brings Ishtar to Earth to teach her the values of life and culture. Together with ace Valkyrie pilot Silvie Gena, Hibiki and Ishtar must find a way to save Earth from total destruction at the hands of the Marduk leader Ingues.

So for me, Macross (or at least the bastardized edit that we got with Robotech) was my gateway prime; the first anime that I had ever seen, well over a decade before I understood what this genre called anime was. And I only saw it in passing, bits and pieces years apart. But it stuck with me.

I don't remember when I first saw the movie version of Macross II, but I do know at least one time I had rented it on VHS. Kids ask your folks what...those...shit, that's us now.

Mixed Feelings
The most (?) reviled series in the franchise. But it’s actually not bad.

Macross II is solidly average. Its first three episodes are really great, but then it seems like they forgot to actually continue the direction of the show and decided to wrap it up with the three remaining episodes. With a bit of stronger writing and three more episodes for this OVA, it probably would have been amongst the best of the Macross series. You’ll find a lot of later entries in Macross seem to borrow from ideas presented in II, but tend to handle its concepts in an inferior manner.

It’s a good follow ...

Preliminary (4/6 eps)
I got almost NOTHING out of watching this. It's got some nice music, some of the character designs are quite nice, and I think that Ishtar is an endearing character in and of herself, but none of that can save a production that I just felt apathetic towards. The characters are paper thin, the plot is paper thin, this isn't long enough to justify itself. I wondered why this was declared non-canon until I watched it (as I like giving most things the benefit of the doubt) but if this were my first venture into Macross I probably wouldn't have become a fan of the ...
