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...( read more  read more... ) 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

    First off, let just say that I LOVE the Macross Francise, to the point of being abnoxious about it.
    That said, I really hate this movie, because it's pretty bad. Didn't have any of the cool music of Plus, or the chessy dialogue of 'Do You Remember Love?'. It was just bad.

    Alright OVA. A little slow and confusing for those who doesn't know anything about the Robotech or Macross.
