Get your flight suits ready because “Macross Zero” is about to transform and roll out onto Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia on September 27th, 2024. This prequel OVA series, which originally took off between 2002 and 2004, is finally hitting a major streaming platform. Whether you’re a seasoned Macross veteran or a fresh-faced recruit, this is your chance to experience a crucial chapter in the Macross saga!
What’s the Scoop on Macross Zero?
Alright, let’s break it down. The year is 2008, and the U.N. Wars are raging. Our story kicks off when U.N. Spacy pilot Shin Kudo crash-lands on Mayan Island. But this isn’t just any old tropical paradise – it’s got a secret that’s been chilling there for nine years, left behind by a massive alien spaceship. Talk about your unexpected luggage!
Shin doesn’t get much time to work on his tan though. He’s quickly drafted into the elite Skull Squadron, and finds himself smack in the middle of a high-stakes battle. Both sides of the conflict are duking it out to control some seriously cool (and potentially world-altering) alien artifacts. And caught in the crossfire? The island and its peace-loving inhabitants. Classic Macross drama, am I right?
