More than 100 package illustrations are included!

The “Super Dimension Fortress Macross”, a milestone in science fiction anime, celebrated its 40th anniversary since its first broadcast in 1982.

Its popularity began with the development of a wide variety of plastic models that reproduced the unique mechanics of the series!

The plastic model package art that captured the hearts of boys at the time was created by Yoshiyuki Takani and Artmic.

The illustrations still attract many fans today.

These package art illustrations have been fully reproduced using high-definition printing technology!

The shading and staining on the Valkyrie, Destroyed, and Regard, as well as the artist’s brushstrokes, are now vividly reproduced.

Box images of plastic models are also included as much as possible.

The box art of the Valkyrie, Destroid, and Zentraedi army mecha are also introduced, as well as the setting drawings that were used as materials for the box art.

Interviews with Kazutaka Miyatake, designer of the SDF-1 Macross, and Shoji Kawamori, designer of the VF-1 Valkyrie, are also included, as well as a conversation between Yoshiyuki Takani, one of Japan’s leading box art artists, and Kazutaka Miyatake.

The interview was conducted by Hideki Tenjin!
