Okay, I've been considering picking up Macross Plus on DVD, but I'm not sure what version to get. I've heard that the feature film version fixes a lot of things and improves on the original OVA, but then people said the same thing about Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku-Hen and I disagree with that.
Can anyone help me with this? Should I get the OVA or the feature film? Thanks in advance. |

Personally I greatly prefer the OVA. The movie has one or two new/extended scenes that are worth watching, but it is missing several good scenes from the OVA, and the scene order is changed somewhat, which in my opinion has a serious negative impact on the quality of the movie.

So the movie actually has additional scenes that the OAVs don't? How strange... I'd just assumed they'd pulled a Polymatrix on it and condensed it from the original. I've never actually seen the movie version....
Being a purist in general, though, I'd say to get the OAVs.... |

Armitage III: Polymatrix had new scenes too.
Some say the director originally wanted to make a movie, but couldn't get enough financing. Anyway, both have their good and bad sides... The movie has a more dramaticly animated ending and a tighter, faster story, but has no dub, hardsubs and lacking video quality on the R1 release. The OVAs have more footage, a dub with a terrific lead performance (by the guy who plays Hal in Malcolm in the Middle), pretty good video quality, but a part of the ending feels akwarad due to poor animation. |

I'd definitely go with the OVA. The movie's not bad, as said before, and does have ...2 character building scenes towards the end of it that I would have liked to have seen in the OVA, but there's so much missing from it-- all the guts that gave real life to the OVA. The shell is still there in teh movie, but not all the details I loved. And the truth is.... the plot really isn't why I watch this-- it's the music, character interaction, and action sequences. Thus, although the movie is more tightly paced, that wasn't what I was really looking for in the first place. The ending is sort of not an ending in either of the two versions really, although I guess there is a bit more of one in the movie.
Still, I'd go with the OVA, hands down. |

I would pick the ova but if the other feature has added scenes that the ova dosen't have then I would pick that one. 
Just my opinion. |
