Plot Summary: In 1999, an alien spaceship crashes on South Ataria Island and makes the human race aware of other life in space. Ten years later, the ship is reconstructed and christened as the SDF-1 Macross. However, on the day of its maiden voyage, an alien race called the Zentradi make their appearance on Earth—thus beginning Space War I, a UN Spacy/Zentradi war that would change the history of both races forever.

Comment:
Historically, one of the most important anime ever created. Macross's North American influence comes from the fact that it was the model and one of three shows used to create Robotech, the big "gateway" anime title of the 1980s.

In Japan Macross was one of the most popular science fiction / mecha anime ever created. Although Gundam is commonly seen as the property that gave birth to the genre, the genre's popularity is as much a result of the success of Macross as the success of Gundam.
