Synopsis

By the year 2120, humans have successfully colonized other planets following the near devestation of Earth from the last great world war. However, on Gloire, one such colony are surprised and unprepared at the arrival of The Zor, a group of beings whom were the original inhabitants of the planet and left following similar near fatal events. Coming to reclaim their former home world, a relentless war erupts between both races that ultimately leads to a cataclysmic showdown and into a no-win scenario for either.

Something I've wanted to do for 20+ years.

Watch this, and the other three shows that robotech was based on. I started with this one as I figured I would do all of macross at one point, and it's the closest to the original. But this was was close, but definetly different, familuar plots and ideas, but then there was things different.

Southern Cross is an utterly forgettable show. It's only grip to relevancy is the fact that it's the third part of the super dimensional trilogy, and is the second part of the Robotech series.

There's really not much to the shows uniqueness from its plot and characters, the only thing of note is that the main lead is a woman.

There are three leads actually, and they are all women. The show however is more focused on one of them the most Jeanne. A capricious, spunky, stubborn girl who ...
