This review is from: Macross Plus, Vol. 2 (DVD)

If you like the Macross Saga, this one is a must buy. The animation on this movie is one of the finest ones done by the Japanese. The story line is flowing and continual. The music is quite awesome. If you are interested in anime, this one is one of the few that you should put in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Yeah!!!, February 20, 2001

This review is from: Macross Plus, Vol. 2 (DVD)

This is a must buy especially if you already have the first volume. I think that the whole OAV series should be in every anime fans' collection. The depth of the story is further highlighted in volume 2. As with the first volume (part 1&2), the animation is great, the music is a great compliment, and the dubbing didn't spoil any delight (you can watch it subbed also). What's also great about this besides being in the DVD format (which is far superior than any format out there) is that it also includes lots of extra features such as trailers, production credits, audio options, and lots of anime preview commercials. Macross Plus the OAV version is a whole lot nicer than the movie. As evident in Volume 2- it just gives more detail and depth to the story. Overall Macross Plus is a must buy anime for all anime lovers and its good enough that new anime fans might actually adore this as well. It's really more than your average anime. By the way this is in no way connected to the ROBOTECH story line. Still the mecha action (the mechas itself are awesome enough) lives up to par with the Macross tradition. Don't just watch this on rent or from a friend- have a copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best anime movies ever, but this DVD has a flaw!!, January 3, 2001

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Macross Plus, Vol. 2 (DVD)

I have seen almost all Japanese anime movies and this Macross Plus series is absolutely one of the best ever made. Although the movie has no excessive violence or nudity, it is pretty obvious that it was made for little mature viewers who wants something more than typical action anime. The characters development was done so much better other typical animes and the final revelation / redemption scene of Guld was so movingly done. The awesome aerial fighting sequences will take your breath away and the haunting music score will stay in your memory for a very long time. However I was so disappointed to see that the single most exciting and poignant scene involving Guld was deleted in this US release DVD version. In the original Japanese VHS version that I saw few years ago, the aerial fighting scene between Guld and the Ghost plane was little longer and much more intensely done. When Guld finally catches up with the Ghost plane, he actually sees it right in front of him just before both of his eyes caved into his skull due to the extreme G-force. After few scenes later, it shows his destroyed plane floating in the space as the camera closes in to show his heroic lifeless body. This scene was so beautifully done and I was so moved by it. I don't understand why it was deleted in this US release DVD and it's a real shame that other US viewers won't be able to experience it. If you want to feel the full impact of this movie, go out and rent the original version from one of the Japanese VHS rental shops. You won't be disappointed.
