The tension heightens upon the arrival of Myung, a mutual ex-girlfriend. Myung is now the producer of Sharon Apple, the biggest virtual pop idol in the universe. Macross Plus is set 40 years after the original Macross series. It's a brand new cast of characters and a totally different storyline. Everything is nicely connected, and the pacing is just right.
Character development is solid.
In the 4 eps that comprise MP, Isamu, Guld, and Myung are depicted very clearly and with much depth. Even the elusive Sharon Apple develops into a breakthrough character by the end of the series. She is an antagonist but not really a villain. A perfect example of artificial intelligence gone astray. The art and animation are superbly rendered.
