new footage/cuts - OVA v movie
It should be noted that although the movie version has new footage not used in the OVA, the movie also cuts some scenes originally seen in the OVA. Jigen III 06:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposing merge - Project Super Nova
Proposing merge of Project Super Nova into this article. After a merge, the end product will look similar to Haruhi_Suzumiya_%28franchise%29. KyuuA4 (talk) 18:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Idoru
Anyone know if there's any direct connection to or influence on Gibson's novel Idoru (in which a rock star falls in love with and marries a japanese AI Idoru that has become self aware) that came out two years after this? I'm willing to guess that Gibson must have seen Macross Plus or at least been familiar with the concept behind it. Anyone know if Gibson has ever mentioned or acknowledged having been influenced by it? 75.0.203.52 (talk) 03:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Toys
There is no evidence of an ongoing legal dispute involving Big West and Tatsunoko or Harmony Gold. The legal disputes in the past settled the matter in that the Japanese court determined Tatsunoko purchased an international copyright to the SDF Macross footage and the right to create merchandise based on it in exchange for paying for the rest of the cost of producing SDF Macross. Big West retained the international copyright to the designs for the show. This has no effect on Harmony Gold's rights to distribute the SDF Macross footage and make merchandise based on it. Alan Letz, the former Executive Vice President Business Development of Harmony Gold USA, stated this at the time. http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=87

In addition to the rights they purchased, Harmony Gold has registered the international (American?) trademark for Macross. The trademark is what blocks Macross Plus internationally. Big West's position is that they have no interest in the internation market for Macross. It's my understanding that Kawamori Shouji said this in a Japanese language interview. Harmony Gold's position is that they deserve a Macross Plus license. They continue to regularly answer the question of bringing over more Macross at conventions by stating they're waiting for Big West to cooperate. This contradicts their vague implication that there's a current legal dispute. They seem to switch between the two stories whenever it suits them. Armobomber (talk) 22:55, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Japanese episode titles
Anyone got a list? In English they are: AD 2040 Brain Waves Investigation It's Time To End This The Japanese wiki doesn't seem to have a list of episodes just a full on synopsis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.104.4 (talk) 16:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Japanese Home Video
Would like to cite a couple corrections regarding the original article's information. As someone who owns a (relatively) small number of select imported R2 Japanese and Blu-ray animations, I can confidently dispute certain misinformation. E.g. Street dates In regard to, "...both the OVA and the Movie Edition were remastered into HD and released as part of The Super Dimension Macross Blu-ray Boxset Complete Edition." If they're (the author) referring to a U.S. release: Macross Plus has NEVER been given a remaster here in the (United) states- any supposed "remaster" is a bootleg/fan edit, as there is no official source that can confirm such discs.

And if the article's referring to a Japanese release, that's incorrect as well. No such official bundle exist, containing, "...all the Macross series and films produced to that point." That's just straight up fictitious. Lol.

Plus, like many Japanese animations, received a R2J HD remaster back in 2007, catalogue #BCBA-3048. Blu-ray's date is correct however, catalogue #BCXA-719, but said edition uses the same video as 2007's HD box set.

Source is CDjapan.jp, and both box sets are still available in the form of Proxy Search Shopping as of this writing. Pioneermac (talk) 02:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
