A high-energy space-war epic that weaves mecha combat, romantic tension, and survival stakes into a visually striking meditation on love as a force against destruction.

It is A.D. 2009 and the human race is caught in a war between giant humanoids, male Zentrans and female Meltrans. Returning from the edge of our solar system after making a space fold, the SDF-1 Macross makes the long journey back to Earth with survivors of South Ataria Island.
