Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt the time, the producers were not legally allowed to make a sequel to Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982), or use any of its main characters. Characters like Minmei ("Minmay" in the original Japanese) and Lisa Hayse ("Misa Hayase") were scrapped due to their similar-sounding names. The character Rick Hunter returned because his name sounded nothing like the original Japanese ("Hikaru Ichijô") and his appearance was drastically altered. It's also why Maia gave her heritage as "half alien" instead of being more specific (half Zentraedi, being the daughter of Max and Mirya).
- GoofsVince Grant eventually orders the abandonment of the Icarus and evacuation to the Ark Angel. However, when the Ark Angel takes off, the "abandoned" Icarus is shown flying right beside it.
- Quotes
Vince Grant: If we make it out of this alive, my wife's gonna kill me.
Scott Bernard: Looking forward to it, sir.
- Crazy creditsThe end of the broken film at the beginning of the title sequence fits with the other end of the broken film from the opening credits of the original 'Robotech' television series.

Featured review
Where's the ending?
My problem with Shadow Chronicles is where's the ending? It was touted as answering the question of what happened to Rick Hunter and the SDF-3 but we still don't know.
I have no problem with the animation like other people seem to, though it does come off as being a little too slick. The film itself seems to be more of a prologue setting up the storyline for a series which has not eventuated.
I agree with other reviewers on the feeling of being ripped off and not getting to see our old favorites from the Macross Saga. I know a few of the characters were killed off in the Sentinels novels. Why not finish off the Sentinels story arc? There's so much they can do with Robotech.
