    At least over a decade ago, I had seen - and loved - the Macross Plus movie without knowing it was a condensed version of the OVA. I finally got around to watching the Hong Kong Rescue blu of the OVA after picking it up quite a while ago. Immediate thoughts, even though…

    A disappointing plot and unlikable characters kept this from being a recommendation from me, despite the fantastic animation and soundtrack. So... he sexually assaulted their female friend, but the guys apologize to EACH OTHER and it'sall just fine?!?

    Self-evidently a masterpiece of design, music, animation (love the early CG), etc. that frames all its mech stuff around sweeping Howard Hawks aviator melodrama whose storytelling produces maybe the best pure capital-E Emotions of its (and any?) medium, totally intoxicating…

    Copy pasted from my review of the movie now that the OVA is available to log on here: God, I still love this OVA. When I think of adult animation, Macross Plus is what comes to mind. And when I mean adult animation, I mean for grown ups, not some adolescent power fantasy.…

    A technical marvel with some of the best animation of the time. Each dogfight contains some of the most thrilling uses of perspective and composition in the medium, even utilizing mixed media at certain times. It’s incredibly stylish and at times even moody, Sharon Apple an…

    Watching this in '94, before even Oshii's Ghost in the Shell hit the scene, must have been a revelation. Beautiful shots, a sense of adult sophistication to the way scenes break out into naked emotion, an unspoken past weighing on every conversation - you can feel the…

    “What, you wanna touch her with all ten of your fingers? Twenty, if you count the toes on your feet! And don’t forget about the other one!” You mean two. Don’t forget the other two. My Criterion Three Reasons 1. The English Dub 2. The Animation, and everything about it…
