Got this set today, it's good. Shame that manga's lack of quality control has struck again. The disc are labled up incorrectly (ep 1+2 is actually the movie etc).

Dude, Macross Plus is one of the best OVA's there is. It rates among Read or Die and such. Known, and I agree, as "Top Gun of anime."

Just buy it. If you don't like it, you can sue me.
Plot line: A love triangle between childhood friends.

I agree with you Eddy.., Macross2 is utter bollocks..., but Macross Plus is far & away the better series to watch...,
wait a minute! on the advertisement for the triple DVD set i saw a clip from macross2! is "the macross movie" macross2? cause i'm not buying the same awfull film again:p
Aww! whatt he hell! i'm going down the city to buy it now. £20 is a brgain even if it does still have macross2 with it..plus it sais the movie is subbed and kiseki only had it dubbed on DVD for some reason:confused:

There are three different movies available in the UK...,
Macross : Do you Remember Love? (aka Clash of the Bionoids, which is the dubbed version - very bad.., even worse than Kiseki's release of Macross 2.., avoid like the plague)
Macross 2 : Lovers Again
Macross Plus
Macross & Macross 2 were released by Kiseki..., Macross Plus was released by Manga Video...,
Well i've got it but i'm gonna have t6o take it back to kulture shock since the titles on the dvd's were wrong*i.e. episodes 3 and 4 were the movie* and the macross movie kept going totally blue art certain periods..i had the same problem with manga's urokosokodoji DVD
I am not impressed, i'm pretty pissed off at kulture shock...or maybe Manga are to blame?:(

Watch the OVA's. The OVA's were better.
i've seen the first two eps of the OAV.... they werte pretty boring..i mean what happened apart from a small fire and an average meccha battle which no-one died in?
thedarkmarine
27-06-02, 03:56 PM
Hm...
*Marks one for first person who dosen't like Macross Plus.*
Watch ep 3 and 4. 4 is the real kicker.
orochi X
27-06-02, 09:09 PM
Especially 4, thats action packed!
And a death well watch episode 4, dont wanna spoil it
I've seen all the OAV's..tehy were pretty boring too..i mean what hgappened apart from the two main pilot guys making up *which i knew was gonna happen from the first minute i saw them*, and a cmputer made a bunch of machine guns firea nd then just stopped...and what happend to the evil guy who shot the mangaer..after he did taht he just dissapeared..and what was Guld suppose dto have done to the heroine...they never ACTUALLY said what he'd done.
On overall analysis it was just so predictable and dull, and the meccha battles were nothing compare to the ones in the entire gundams series, Nadesico or Macross2, no wonder it's on a bragain offer since no-one wanted to buy it in proper format.
..and Dark marine..see you in court:p

Well I guess some people are just there for eye candy. Well, I'm sorry it disappointed you: it was supposed to be a breath of fresh air from the Macross original. It is far more sophisticated than shows that just keep pumping out mind numbing action, so if that's what you're after, then don't bother with this series.
Not forgetting the quality of animation and fight scenes were among the best during its time. Maybe if you don't place your hopes too high you can enjoy the scenes presented.

One thing I have learned: Don't argue with a person's opinions. It leads nowhere.
Eddy, you can sue EVA fiend if you want. She's closer to you.

We've already agreed to disagree on this one...., :p
Call me old fashioned, but I actually watch a movie for plot, not how many get killed or spectacular fights.
i don;t watch an anime just for actioon aswell..but on the drama side it was pretty dull aswell. This childhoos rivalry was so unoriginal and trite it just was'nt even distracting. Sharon had to nealr set the heroine on fire to see which one love dher the most..but that guy was already sleeping wit hteh girl with a pigtail was'nt he? and the platanic relationships were just so annoying. I just felt like shputing out "Oh for god's sake Guld just say you wanna sdleep wit her, or marry her or something! and eeveryone kep tsaying things taht seemed sophisticated and complexed..but really they meant nothing. and whydid the heroine want to commit suicide? WHAT The hell was wrong with her?! she never said why....
anyway it's obvious macross plus was attempting to have mind numbing action...like the dualing meccha scenes which faile dto become intresting and sharon the computer generated thing which just has thge label "oh look, ana nime with computer graphics! is'nt this thrilling!" well it takes more tahn just computer graphics to mAKE AN ANIME INTRETSING..BLA,BLAH,BLAH, AND OS ON:p

Hmm..., my copy of the SE DVD Macross Plus box set arrived today..., & Manga Video..., with their stunning quality control.., have managed to mislabel ALL the DVD's...., the movie is called OAV 1 & 2..., OAV's 3 & 4 is called the movie..., & OAV's 1 & 2, are called OAV's 3 & 4..., what a professional company..., :rolleyes:
Aside from that..., there doesn't seem to be any inherent problems with the DVD's..., no blue screen.., or flickering like you've experienced Eddy...,

Eddy, I don't think you have looked into the series deeply: not that you have to, but there are a lot more issues and themes portrayed than your brief little 'summary'.
As stated before, your idea about Guld and Myung is rather mislead. If you saw the movie, Guld does exactlywhat you said. Also, there are obvious reasons why Guld has problems with having a relationship with Myung, you should put that into consideration.
and whydid the heroine want to commit suicide? WHAT The hell was wrong with her?! she never said why....
Where did you bring up that idea from- any scenes that back up this statement?? Seems to me your more lost than I thought...
anyway it's obvious macross plus was attempting to have mind numbing action...like the dualing meccha scenes which faile dto become intresting and sharon the computer generated thing which just has thge label "oh look, ana nime with computer graphics! is'nt this thrilling!" well it takes more tahn just computer graphics to mAKE AN ANIME INTRETSING..
Well, Macross Plus still has to retain the mecha... or else it just isn't Macross... man, that's just a lousy statement to say when you're primarily watching an anime categorised as MECHA based....
Hmmm... let's flashback to 1994 and tell me, how many animes had 3D CG or had this type of style and animation?? Macross Plus was state of the art then and its animation now is still up there. Your statement is rather shallow if you forget this is a very old anime in itself. Or else same could be said about Akira... but then why still considered a cult classic??
Nothing against your opinion Ed, but to me, they seem to lack consideration and a little insight.
Well for one thing AKira had A LOT OF action and not just computer graphics, and she said she wanted to kill herslr fin episode two i think where she was wimpering on the floor saying "Oh god, why can't i end it all now! when will it be over"
she was either talking about committing suicide or being stuck at the last boss of half-life *now you see what i meant about them saying things taht don't mean naything or go anywhere*
And had Guld raped wasshername? and him having psycic powers was just totally unecssary, just another little diversion to keep a dull anime alive.
(and by the way i respect your opinions too i just enjoy waffling on about why i hate something:p )

Valk, read my last post. Something is only as good as the viewer think it is. If he/she misunderstood some parts, too bad for her. However, if he/she didn't like it, he/she could care less that he misunderstood some things.
Valkyrie

Exactly, Akira had mind 'numbing action' and less sophistication but many themes... seems hypocritical to say that your comparisons are based on this logic when both fall in the same category.
Well, you obviously misinterpreted the quote for if she was suicidal, she had the ability to end her own life. Rather, she wanted this rather nightmarish episode between Guld and Isamu, her dream (lack of it) to end.
and him having psycic powers was just totally unecssary, just another little diversion to keep a dull anime alive.
Another complete misinterpretation: if you didn't realise, Guld had the information and the knowledge about his actions in his mind: Isamu was just the trigger of it. Seems to me you should actually watch the anime closely before making pre-judgements.
I have no problems with your opinions, their yours and I'm sure all opinons are unique. What I find rather peculiar are the reasons behind the opinion: they're a bit off the mark to say the least ;)
Marine, I respect opinions, but such misinterpretation leads completely from the truth. I just showed a more accurate portrayal of events... Eddy can still think what he/she wants... I don't care. But there's nothing wrong with pointing the facts out.
I prefer something like Gundam..i find evil aliens vs Righteous humans very cheap and predictable, i prefer human vs human meccha battles
Valkyrie

Agreed, I don't particularly like a series based completely on a one-sided definition of good guys vs. bad guys: it runs out of steam in the end. Well, if you've followed Macross the series, not Robotech, there actually isn't a definite evil alien race vs. righteous human. It's actually a comparison of different cultures and the events shown from the eyes of humans. Personally, I believe that Macross has its better share of grand mecha battles ;)
But Robotech is a completely different kettle of fish altogether. I found it boring and most importantly unoriginal: a rather lousy series from an even worse company: HG

Eddy doesn't seem to be very... wise/insightfull/deep (I can't really think of a word to describe him). I mean I watched Macross+ for the first time today and I only 1/2 payed attention as I was on the internet and I picked up on most of the things he missed/didn't get. Maybe shalow would be a good word? (not sure) or maybe he just analises things too much and/or in the wrong way. He also doesn't like Gunbuster and he never seems to think about the tme when the anime was made. Not meant as an insult bust my analysis of you from posts that I have read by him, of course I may be totally wrong, but thats my thoughts anyway.

i just found macross plus boring and predictable, nothing much major happened except for that computer going mad which i could tell a mile off. All the excitment lead up to some black general saying " oure mechs will be unmanned from now on!" and the pilots saying "we're not gonna stand for that!". That weak storyline barely passed as a sub plot for gundam wing let alone sometyhing like macross plus.
And as for the remark about when Gunbuster was made, i loved gundam 0800 and that was made at the same time..and possibly even before gunbuster.
