Macross Plus

Synopsis

Continues the story of Super Dimension Fortress Macross

After an alien ship collides with Earth, humanity realizes extraterrestrial life exists. Fearing potential threats, nations unite under the United Nations and convert the alien vessel into the SDF-1 Macross. During its first voyage, a fleet of Zentradi ships attacks Earth, and the Macross unexpectedly engages them, triggering an interstellar war. Trying to escape, the Macross heads for the moon but instead warps into deep space along with the city it carries. In this chaos, Hikaru Ichijou, a carefree acrobatic pilot, and Minmay Lynn, an aspiring singer, join the Macross crew on a profound journey filled with hardship and adversity, confronting the brutal realities of battle.

In this installment

In 2040, humanity has spread across the galaxy with numerous colonies and advanced technology. Artificial intelligence has reached near-perfection, and the current top idol is the almost-complete Virturoid Idol Sharon Apple. The only thing missing is her genuine emotions, which are provided by Myung Fang Lone. Sharon's debut concert takes place on planet Eden, where fighter pilots Isamu Dyson and Guld Bowman are simultaneously competing for aerial dominance in the "Supernova Project." Isamu, Guld, and Myung were once childhood friends, but after an incident seven years ago, they went their separate ways. With Myung's return, old conflicts resurface. When an unstable and illegal AI technique is installed in Sharon, the situation escalates further.
