One shouldn't really go in expecting much with the characters and plots in these two, especially when compared to other installments in both the Gundam/Macross series. But where these two OVA's excel at, they really shine - the production values, the nostalgic and incredible music, amazingly top notch animation and art for their time, and the insane action make them both worth seeing for the technical aspects alone. Both are sci-fi, mecha, and all that sort of thing, chances are if you like some of Macross or Gundam, you'll like both in many ways too.
both show an intense rivalry between the two protagonists and both are involved in testing prototypes machines.
Shoji Kawamori was involved in the production of both of these anime in some way. The stories are also somewhat similar with both focusing on 2 prototype mechas. 0083 and Plus also have stunning artwork that has been highly regarded since their release in 1990 and 1994 respectively.
