Macross Zero

There is an unwritten saying among all anime fans, it is obvious and sad in a way. The saying may be different in words, but it means the same thing. Why all really good anime are short? Probably everyone has said this more than once. They have the highest ratings and you can watch them many, many times and still be fascinated.

Macross Saga is one of the most popular sci-fi anime out there. It has been through out the years, and there are many reasons for this. Macross Zero is our favorite from a long list of Macross titles.

This is an eye candy from Satelight, worth every penny. This work can only be described as amazing. The story, animation and the soundtrack are one of their best creations out there. You know Satelight will produce amazing results from anything, these OVAs are no exception.

The story takes place one year before original Macross series. First OVA starts with a short back story of the main character, Shin a cold blooded U.N. pilot as he takes off for another mission. Their gruop encounter enemy fighters and barely survive the attack. Suddenly, they are attacked by another, but this time an unknown fighter jet. As they are fighting in the vast clouds, Shin is shooting his target to a point were the shots were supposed to hit the enemy jet. But in a flash the fighter changes in to something of a human bird form and shoots down Shin's fighter. It drops into the sea.

Won't spoil the fun too much for you. The story is very well told and has very deep meanings. Will make you think about the way we humans live our lives, very sci-fi...

Since most of the story takes place on an island and the sea, there are not many characters. There are no big mass scenes and different in the environments. That does not make this anime any less interesting. The beautifully drawn island really makes you feel like your there in the tropics.

The animation is very high quality and very detailed. Macross always have amazing fighting scenes that never disappoint. You can watch this anime again and again, because it really is not boring and you will see many new things each time you watch it.

Macross Saga always have a great sound track to all their movies and series. In every Macross anime there was at least one song that is sung by a important character. The songs are connected to the story in some way, makes you feel music is really imporant.
