> [@Tengu](#): > > Sounds like you’ve muddled the plot of Macross Plus (the second sequel series (5th sequel)) - that involved a computer generated singer, but she’s not hacked (at least not as part of the main plot - I think one of the characters messes with her at one point) - though she is illegally upgraded - and her emotions came from one character, her ‘producer’. It could also be the 80s anime “Megazone 23”. I believe that also had a VR pop icon entertaining a bunch of people stuck in a Dark City style habitat.
