Macross is a Japanese animation.
After it was introduced to the United States, the Americans adapted it when they re-dubbed it.
The plot has been reorganized based on the original world view, which is subtly different from the original version.
What we introduced in the 1980s was the American version of Macross, which was Battlestar.
Macross F is a commemorative work of Macross, which is of course different from Battlestar.
