Macross 7

Macross 7 rockets a civilian rock band into the heart of a deep-space colonization saga, following hot-blooded singer-pilot Basara Nekki and his group Fire Bomber aboard the Macross 7 fleet. When mysterious Varauta forces and the energy-parasite Protodeviln threaten humanity by draining “spiritia,” Basara refuses to fight with guns alone, turning his custom VF-19 Kai “Fire Valkyrie” into a flying stage to blast songs straight into enemy lines. Between arena-worthy dogfights, city-ship politics under Captain Maximilian Jenius and Mayor Milia, and a love triangle with bassist Mylene Jenius and ace pilot Gamlin Kizaki, the series fuses space opera, mecha spectacle, and concert energy. Themes of communication over confrontation, the transformative power of music, and the search for “Anima Spiritia” drive a story that swings from slapstick to soaring melodrama, all to Fire Bomber’s thunderous setlist.
