Title: Mediocre Macross
Product review: In all fairness, people should know Macross II was made during a period where the Japanese Animation industry was in a bit of a slump. Titles produced during this period saw a marked drop in animation quality coupled with so-so scripts. Macross II's storyline simply followed the Macross formula--a love triangle, clash of cultures, and space battles. Macross Plus is also more or less cliched in this regard. However whereas Macross Plus has spectacular animation which makes forgiving its tired plot extremely easy, Macross II is saddled with laughably inconsistent animation quality, and hence has virtually no redeeming value. (Sidenote: for the OVA version of Macross II, only two episodes--4 and 5, can boast decent animation) Perhaps, if this were made just a couple of years later, it would have been better received...
