Macross (Shinsaku Animation)

The year is 2009, and humanity has narrowly averted an alien invasion, thanks to the timely intervention of a colossal alien battleship dubbed the SDF-1 Macross. Now, with the vessel repurposed for Earth's defense, a new city has sprung up around it, only for the entire population to be inadvertently folded through space during a retaliatory alien attack. Stranded far from home, the crew and civilians alike must adapt to life aboard the Macross, preparing for the inevitable confrontations that lie ahead. Amidst the chaos, three lives become inextricably linked: a hotheaded fighter pilot, a burgeoning pop idol, and a seasoned military officer. Their intertwined destinies will play a pivotal role in the ongoing conflict, as the power of music, the complexities of love, and the harsh realities of war collide in a high-stakes battle for survival against an alien race utterly bewildered by human culture.
