Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again, a 1992 OVA, was the first animated sequel to Super Dimension Fortress Macross to feature an all-new storyline and cast of characters. It was also the only entry in the Macross franchise which didn't have any input from original creator Shoji Kawamori or the original production studio, Studio Nue. (It did contain work from Haruhiko Mikimoto, the original character designer, and was produced by Big West, which produced or co-produced everything else in the Macross franchise. With animation production by AIC, who did some animation and paint subcontracting on the original series, its movie, and some later entries) Either because it wasn't as well-received as expected, or because Kawamori and Studio Nue weren't involved (probably both), other entries in the Macross franchise have ignored the events of Macross II; Studio Nue has declared it a "Parallel World".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The story takes place in 2092, eighty years after the end of the original SDF Macross. Humans and Zentradi have made peace and rebuilt Earth's society. Earth's prosperity is interrupted only by the occasional rogue Zentradi fleet, which is easily defeated through a combination of Valkryie-type transformable fighter jets and idol singer music. When the solar system is invaded by the fleet of a new alien civilization, the Marduk, Earth's usual strategies are ineffective, since the Mardook have singers of their own — Emulators, whose songs are used to control the Mardook's enslaved Zentradi warriors.During the first battle, Intrepid Reporter Hibiki Kanzaki rescues one of these Emulators, a beautiful woman named Ishtar. He takes her back to Earth, and introduces her to culture. Feff, one of the Mardook commanders, heads to Earth to try and retrieve Ishtar. Meanwhile, Ace Pilot Sylvie Gena and the rest of Earth's military try to fight off the invaders.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })It's followed by a manga sequel known as Macross II: The Micron Conspiracy, where Hibiki and Sylvie investigate a terrorist attack against civilians of Zentradi herirage. | |

| Macross II / int_1ae52ae9 | comment |
Exty Years from Publication: Produced in 1992, takes place in 2092... which doesn't help its place within the main Macross universe, which has barely got into the 2070's. | |

Wave-Motion Gun | |
| Macross II / int_263bb4ec | comment |
Wave-Motion Gun: The original Macross, which has been left on Earth as a museum ship, discharges its main gun into the air at random intervals. Its successors, the Macross Cannon ships, and several Mardook vessels, have main weapons of similar power. The Macross Cannon ships brought the trope to the logical extreme: ships with FOUR WMG. Ouch... | |

Hand in the Hole | |
| Macross II / int_39128678 | comment |
Hand in the Hole: Hibiki sticks his hand in the mouth of a face carving claimed to bite if someone tells a lie with their hand in its mouth, and tricks Ishtar into thinking it bit his hand off. Possibly a Shout-Out to a similar scene in the film Roman Holiday. | |

Zeerust: It's 2092, and Sylvie still uses what seem to be 5 1/4" floppy discs to start up the SDF-1 Macross — which would be anachronistic even for the last time it flew in 2012. | |

| Macross II / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Studio Nue has placed Macross II in a "parallel world." All other Macross storylines, starting with Macross Plus, have ignored Macross II — except Macross 7, which reused some of the songs and included a similar female lead (in a Discontinuity Nod). | |

Crazy-Prepared: The UN Spacy had long stopped taking Zentradi seriously thanks to the Minmei Attack, not even conceiving the idea it could fail... But, just in case it happened, they had actually prepared warships capable of wiping out a Zentradi Main Fleet in a few salvos. | |

Bridge Bunnies: Saori, Amy, and Nastasha make up the rest of Sylvie's flight team, Faerie Squadron. Though they're usually fighting in Valkyries as opposed to running the bridge on a capital ship, their personalities and their positions in the storyline are similar to those of Kim, Shammie, and Vanessa in the original Macross. | |

Ace Pilot: Sylvie Gena and her commanding officer, Nexx Gilbert. Unlike almost every other Macross series, the male lead (Hibiki Kanzaki) isn't an ace combat pilot, and never becomes one, though he is fairly skilled flying an unarmed civilian Valkyrie. | |

Transforming Mecha : Ubiquitous, since it's a Macross story. Earth has several types of Valkryie variable fighters, including the unarmed civilian model Hibiki pilots, plus the original Macross and the Macross Cannon ships. The Mardook's Zentradi also have a type of transformable power armor. | |

Flanderization | |
| Macross II / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Of the defeat of the Zentraedi — actually a plot point. The UN Spacy has turned their discovery of culture into the "Minmei Attack", or just broadcasting a no-name Idol Singer at the enemy until they collapse in disarray. The Mardook counteract that with their own singing, but Hibiki introducing Ishtar to human culture the old-fashioned way is what saves the day. | |
