on the Macross Mecha Manual?
Macross II: Lovers Again was produced without input from Shoji Kawamori or Studio Nue, the creative team that made the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross series. Macross II retains status as an official Macross production, but it is not part of the official Macross chronology created by Masahiro Chiba and Shoji Kawamori of Studio Nue. In the Macross chronology, all the Macross projects which Studio Nue created were included together while Macross II was set in a parallel world. Some fans have noted that previous Macross alumni like Haruhiko Mikimoto also worked on Macross II: Lovers Again. While true, Haruhiko Mikimoto was in Studio Nue only briefly until 1980 before moving to Artland prior to completion of the first Macross series. Scriptwriter Sukehiro Tomita worked on the original Macross series and Macross II, but was a freelance writer who was never a member of Studio Nue.
