About Macross: Do You Remember Love?

Here is what Macross: Do You Remember Love? (超時空要塞マクロス -愛・おぼえていますか-) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, mecha and music anime by Tatsunoko Production and Artland (1984). What the story covers: 2009 - The human race is in the middle of a three-way war with a race of giant humanoid aliens called the Zentraedi (male) and Meltrandi (female). After executing a space fold that sent it and part of South Atalia Island to the edge of the Solar System, the space fortress Macross is on its way back to Earth.

Along the way, during a small skirmish with Zentraedi forces, young pilot Hikaru Ichijo rescues idol singer Lynn Minmay and their relationship develops as they're stranded somewhere within the ship. Shortly after returning to Macross Metropolis, Minmay is captured by the Zentraedi, and Hikaru and female officer Misa Hayase end up back on Earth - only to view the aftermath of the destruction of their civilization. Only a song discovered eons ago - along with Minmay's voice - can determine the outcome of the war.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Mika Doi as Misa Hayase and Mari Iijima as Minmay Lynn. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
