I was flicking through a GameCube magazine today when i notice an advert.

"Macross Plus - Ultimate Edition DVD"
Available June 24th

Its quite rare to have any anime released in shops around near i live, so this advert really caught my attention. But the thing is, i dont know if its any good.

Ive noticed people mention it in posts before, so can anyone give me the general jist of it? I like Gundam and Evangelion so is it anything like them?

Oh, and the DVD set includes all 4 episodes and the movie.

So can anyone help?

It's great, just go get it, I saw it many moons ago when I was in 8th grade.

I have to agree, there's no need to explain it, other than saying you'd be missing out on something great.

I expecially like the music from it. I guess I'll get this edition, since I've staved from buying it yet. Thanks for telling me man.

*adds to list of anime to get*

She's actually called Myung. Minmey is the pop star from another anime, I forget it's name. :

Sharon Apple is the digital mega-pop star in it.

Macross Plus (http://www.animenation.com/bun2367.html)

Go there and check it out, it's a really kickass anime, the music in it is really great, and the action on screen fits the beat to the music. It just really gets you into it.

Infact, since I haven't used any yet, I think I'll use some of the music from Macross Plus for a radio show. I thought I already did, but I guess not.

IT KICKS GODLY ASS. Get it get it get it!!! The story is old but still works nice, lots of plot twists, great fights, and a shitload of surprizes! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Wait? You sure Minmei wasn't in Robotech? ~whips out his EGM~ They say she is...of course, can't trust them much, but at least they'd get their facts straight before publishing.

...I hope.

Minmei is from Macross (a.k.a. Robotech), so I can see where the confusion lies. Macross Plus is set several generations ahead.

Anyway, it's probably one of the most visually stunning anime I've ever seen. The music is also very good, and the story is dramatic and well done. If you liked Gundam, I'm sure you'll like this one, although the story focuses a little more on the characters than on the mechs or an epic war. Don't get me wrong though; there's plenty of action, too!

Ah, good, I wasn't wrong then! Yay!

I hope/plan to buy all of Macross (each series) eventually, since I missed it...

The entire Macross series are all cool. I think I've seen all of them but that was when I was really young.... like around 6 or 7 years old. Hee hee http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
