In the next century, a reconfiguring ship (think "Transformer" with a pilot)
called Macross carries fifty thousand refugees within its hold as it returns to
Earth pursued by giant humanoid warriors. A young pilot in the military
named Hikaru rescues his idol, the beautiful singer Lynn Minmay, from the
giants as they break through the ship's hull during a concert-during which
the giants are shocked to see females on a male vessel-and they are
trapped for days in an aft hold of the ship. After their rescue, Hikaru and
Minmay continue on good terms until a joyride in a fighter trainer gets Hikaru,
his squadron leader, Minmay's brother, Minmay herself and the tough
female
operations controller captured by the giants, who grill them on how males
and females can survive together without fighting. The giants' female
counterparts arrive to wreak havoc on their male foes, and in the ensuing
confusion Minmay and her brother are detained while the others make an
escape that costs squadron leader Roy Focker his life and strands Hikaru
and commander Misa Hayase on a now-totally-lifeless Earth, which leads to
revelations on all three sides of the conflict regarding their past and future as
well as the origins of mankind and the power of love and song, while Hikaru
tangles with his feelings for both Misa and Minmay and all builds toward a
final battle between the Macross and both giant fleets...
