A.D. 2040 - Thirty years have passed since the battle between the Earth and Zentraedi forces changed the lives of both races. On planet Eden, a top-secret project known as "Supernova" is being held to determine U.N. Spacy's next-generation variable fighter. Competing to win the funding are Shinsei Industries' YF-19 and General Galaxy's YF-21. Piloting the YF-21 is Guld Goa Bowman, a half-human, half-Zentraedi. Shinsei receives its new test pilot in the form of the unruly fighter pilot Isamu Dyson, who was once a friend of Guld. Meanwhile, as Isamu and Guld furiously battle to see which of their fighters is superior, a Virturoid Idol named Sharon Apple is to perform her debut concert on Eden. In charge of Sharon is producer Myung Fang Lone, another former friend of Isamu and Guld. When the three meet each other, old disputes spark from a troubled past. Little do they know that their past incidents - along with the Supernova Project and Sharon Apple - will somehow bring them together.

Where it came from
Macross Plus was originally conceived as a four-part original video animation series released between 1994 and 1995 to celebrate the franchise's anniversary. Studio Nue, led by creator Shoji Kawamori, sought to evolve the series beyond its space opera roots by integrating a more mature, psychological narrative focused on the rivalry between two test pilots and an artificial intelligence pop idol. This shift reflected the experimental spirit of mid-90s anime production, prioritizing sophisticated cel animation and complex mechanical design.
The 1995 movie edition was produced as a condensed theatrical cut of the OVA series. Kawamori and his team reworked the pacing and added new scenes to streamline the complex story for a feature-length format. Upon its release, the film was praised for its seamless integration of hand-drawn cel animation with early computer-generated imagery, specifically during the aerial dogfight sequences. It remains highly regarded in the mecha genre for its technical ambition and Yoko Kanno's influential, genre-bending soundtrack.
