Synopsis

The year is 2040 and the galaxy is flourishing with several colonies and advanced technology. AI is near perfection and the current top idol is the near-completed Virturoid Idol Sharon Apple. All that is missing are her actual feelings, which instead are supplied by Myung Fang Lone. Sharon's debut concert is on planet Eden, where at the same time, fighter pilots Isamu Dyson and Guld Bowman battle over air superiority for the Supernova Project. Isamu, Guld and Myung were once childhood friends, but after an accident seven years ago, they went their own separate ways. With Myung back in the picture, the old disputes are once again awakened. And when an unstable and illegal AI technique is installed in Sharon, the situation is worsened.

Konterr Brilliant and touching
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Donald F Just for clarity's sake, I should say I watched the movie version, not the OVA. I heard its better, but not all that different.Macross Plus is only slightly above average. Its a bit more ambitious than the typical mecha. The animation is high quality, and it tries to be a character-focused anime, with few fight scenes. It kind of succeeds. There's tension in our love triangle, and some character depth. I didn't find the character's strong or likable enough to support a relatively slow movie. They're not awful...I guess they're just not my taste. :/ A bigger problem is the AI element to the story. Its pretty average, and takes time away from developing the relationships.Its alright, though. And the few fight scenes are very good. At least two moments will stick with me through the years. You can give it a shot.
David Curtis I saw the first part of this OAV when it came out years ago and for some reason I never watched the rest, well recently the opportunity came for me to see it again and boy am I glad I did.Its brilliant, It has it all action, adventure, emotion, and an evil AI Idol singer, what more could you want.I thought that the way Sharon Apple was developed was fantastic, you are constantly bombarded with images of her, as an Idol, something good, so when she goes mad and those same images come at you with evil intent, it twists they way you view her and makes her really sinister.Then there's the music, wow, music has always been an important part of any Macross story so its important that its good. The music in Macross Plus is superb. From the bittersweet "Voices" to the songs of Sharon apple all of them evoke emotion and fit the tone of the piece perfectly.I now want to see the movie as I'm really interested to see what they cut and added, I can see the story lending itself really well to a feature.To sum up, if you haven't seen Macross Pluss and your an Anime fan, then see it, I cant imagine it would disappoint anyone.
GreyFox37 when i first saw this, i was amazed. i expected so much from shinichiro watanabe and got everything i was expecting. this has the classic rival-love story along with kick ass mech fighting. even my dad, who has only seen akira and the cockpit, thought that the yf-21 brain control was a cool idea. the animation is incredible, something you would expect from watanabe. if you liked robotech or any other macross related element, then see this.
omega1 The first time I saw it was when Teletoon ran it one week a few years ago, and I have loved this movie deeply ever since. Awesome animation, great mecha fights, lots of dramatic stuff, great soundtrack, cool villain, and the Macross Consortium's Superdimensionalfortress! What more do you want?Not -all- is well though, and if there is any problem I'd have to voice about the movie, it would be the dialog. Though the dub is very good compared to most others, the dialog is sometimes very confusing or just silly, like Isamu's classic "I don't want to eat you up, little man. Stay out of my way".Overall, though, it's worth a watch. Definitely.
