Macross

Macross combines transforming mecha, epic space warfare, and music-driven storytelling in one of anime’s most celebrated franchises. The original 1982 series follows humanity’s battle against the giant Zentradi and the rise of singer Lynn Minmay, whose songs become a weapon for peace. Blending romance, drama, and spectacular aerial combat, Macross redefined the mecha genre and inspired numerous sequels and redesigns. Its fusion of technology and emotion remains a defining hallmark of Japanese science fiction.
