Robotech was the first anime series I ever watched, but it was the Macross part of the series that grabbed me and got me hooked. I first purchased Macross Plus on VHS in the 90s when it was first released and later purchased the DVDs when they were released. Unlike the original series, the movie Macross DYRL, Macross 7, Macross Zero, and the recently released Macross Frontier, this macross does not involve a great war, but instead focuses on a conflict between three friends. Viewers may be a little puzzled in the beginning trying to figure out what is going on, but when you see the whole series to the dramatic climax, then everything falls in place and you may be pleased with how the story looks as a whole. The action is top notch and the animation quality was great for its time and is even good today. The DVD transfer looks good, but the extras are a bit skimpy like most anime DVDs.
