| Macross Plus Set in the year 2040, Macross Plus is about an ace fighter pilot, Lt. Isamu A. Dyson, who gets transferred from active duty to become a test pilot in the Super Nova Project. The project is a competition between two companies to test their new variable fighters. The winner of the competition will receive funding to mass produce their fighter so that it can replace the aging VF-11 "Thunderbolt" currently in service. Isamu is to pilot the YF-19 "Alpha One" in which several other test pilots before him had all been killed. Upon his arrival on planet Eden, Isamu meets up with Guld Goa Bowman, who is testing the competitors fighter, the YF-21 "Omega One". The two used to be best friends when they were growing up on Planet Eden, but something happened in the past had turned them into bitter rivals. Tension grows between the two pilots when Myung Fang Lone (a friend from the past) arrives on Eden. She is the producer of the galaxy's most popular celebrity, Sharon Apple a "Virtual Idol". The war between Isamu and Guld heats up as they both try to win the competition and also for the love of Myung. Things get even more complicated when one of the scientist working on Sharon Apple implants a bio-neural chip, which causes Sharon to develop a consciousness of her own. But is this good news. Picture quality In it's time of production Macross Plus was one of the most expensive anime series produced. With the latest in computer aided animation, the visuals were excellent. The colours and animation where bright and clear. Sound As with all series involved with Macross, Macross Plus has an excellent sound track, with original musical scores and classical music by Yoko Kanno.
