Two rival pilots—the hot-headed, impulsive Isamu Dyson and the stoic, calculating Guld Bowman—are selected to test the competing YF-19 and YF-21 prototypes. Their professional rivalry is fueled by a dark, shared past involving Myung Fang Lone, who has returned to Eden as the manager for the galaxy’s most popular virtual idol, Sharon Apple. As the \"Super Nova\" flight tests push the limits of human endurance, a rogue artificial intelligence begins to manifest its own dangerous desires, threatening to seize control of the military’s most advanced weaponry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMacross Plus\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark achievement in science fiction animation, serving as the directorial debut of Shinichiro Watanabe (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"126\"\u003eCowboy Bebop\u003c\/i\u003e) alongside series creator Shoji Kawamori.
