Title: Dissapointing
Product review: Let's get one thing straight, Macross II is NOT a true sequel to Macross. Why? Because Shoji Kawamore and Studio NUE (the creators of Macross) were not involved in this project (unlike Macross Plus). The story is about a purehearted young man, Hibiki, who meets (and falls in love) with an alien singer, Ishtar. The two try to stop an alien invasion with the help of a tough, attractive military woman, Silvy (which starts a love triangle). They find out that Ishtar's songs has the power to confuse the enemy. Sound familiar Macross fans, it should, because it is almost the same plot of the original Macross. But it does'nt come close the paragon of storytelling that Macross was. The animation was OK, but the dubbing was terrible. I would have rated this VHS higher if it did'nt have the name Macross written all over it. Very dissapointing.
