Comment:
The Macross producers treat Macross II: Lovers Again as a parallel world story due to the absence of Studio Nue's input on this part of the Macross universe. Although Studio Nue originally created and developed Macross, Big West owned the rights because it was the financial backer; so it licensed and created Macross II without Studio Nue's consultation (thus the DVDs credit to Studio Nue simply for design inspiration and association). The original series creators, such as Shoji Kawamori, Kenichi Matsuzaki and Ichiroh Itano did not work on it.
