It all really depends on your taste for each Macross is a little different...

Macross is a classic late 70's mecha following close to the now even more classic Gundam series. Overall it's a Mecha show but with Minmay's influence there is a considerable amount of music. I'm going to ommit love from any of my discriptions because 98% of Japanese stories have something to with love.

Macross II is more or less the same. It was simple OAV/Movie that was more about a character driven story than mecha or music.

Macross Plus was definately more of a Mecha fans delight (the final dogfight is pretty awesome). Though the show if full of funky tunes and techno beats and Sharon Apple's eclectic music stylings. I liked Plus but mainly for the Mecha and fan-service rather than the music, though I own all the Plus albums.

MACROSS 7!!!! If you can't tell I love this show. Definately a Music show! But more than that the characters are awesome, or at least my animated hero, Basara, is to be idolized. Producing more lyrical songs than any other Macross ever and it's J-Rock stylings are to my taste. The story may seem a little immature for the series norm even though we're talking about a series whos major war ended because a teen-idol's singing.

So if your a fan of J-Rock/Pop, a little fan-service (few&far-between some episodes), stubborn characters Takahashi-sensei could've created, mecha that don't kill, and little furry things then Mac 7 is for you! It's for me!!!
