@@tashadent150 More like the other way around. However, beware favoring idols as they can lead you astray and make you less capable to do right for yourself.
@asian dude It's phenomenal, but to enjoy it properly you should watch the Macross television series first. The movie works best as a companion piece to the show.
@asian dude Basically the production team had exactly the same grievance as you, tho they had their hands tied with weekly production schedule. Originally planned for 48 ep, shortened to 24 AND then extended to 36 ep did "damage" to QA. The movie was their answer with no schedule pressure.
I feel so bad for her and for Hikaru being torn between her and Misa... but I loved seeing her overcome her sorrow to sing with all she had to save them all 😊
Your comment put a smile on my face so I've allowed myself to translate it to japanese. Instead of "a lot of bullets" I've found "rain of bullets" more fitting :) 愛がすべて直せる (ai ga subete naoseru) 愛と弾雨ね～ (ai to dan-u ne~)
Literally every last human in existence was on the Macross. This was literally an all or nothing scenario and Minmay’s song managed to touch the hearts of their enemy to help secure their future.
Not every one earth died though 85% of humanity dying is still brutal and 15% of the population were to rebuild earth and in the consequent years that followed Humanity colonized and terra form different planets using the SDF Macross battleship to prevent humanity from being wiped out completely
Because sometimes shooting a giant alien in the face with an auto-cannon whilst a beautiful girl sings a moving ballad is the most romantic thing ever.
@@captainr800 Big West and Harmony Gold settled. Macross can now finally leave Japan and come to the west officially. Funimation is already working on trying to get a dubbing contract
Today it has been 40 years since the release of SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love. An absolutely unforgettable installment of the series and still ahead of its time.
Can we just all appreciate how this is one of the most beautifully cliche scenes in anime history? And I mean that in the best way possible. This scene has everything - An amazing insert song, some of the most well animated action in cel animation history, an emotionally charged and satisfying character arc resolution, awesome moments from the main cast with no dialogue and a conclusion that is so heartwarming and positive it can make anyone happy cry. I remember when I first watched this movie the day after finishing the TV series, satisfied but disappointed that it got cut short the way it did. And despite popular belief this isn't a summarising of the original story, it's totally different just following some of the same narrative beats consistently enough for people to fall back on calling it a retelling because it's easier to. But despite that it takes the investment the viewers of the TV series have, bringing the character arcs that were left resolved unsatisfying with a scene preceding this one that makes for an unbelievably cathartic moment. Hikaru's confession to Misa is all we wanted to hear - something that cemented their love for each other in a way that was conclusive and without demeaning Lynn too much. And when it gets to this scene in such an emotional journey... Tears, man. I can't even stop them no matter how many times I watch this scene. There are few things I could really say that are CLASSIC, both contextually and personally. But DYRL is it. It's a classic in the same way It's A Wonderful Life or The Wizard of Oz is classic. Maybe it'll never earn that prestige those movies have but in my eyes it deserves it. It's fucking classic.
I like to imagine that it's only considered clichéd now because this movie did it so well that others tried to replicate it with mixed levels of success. Enough so that the market saturation resulted in it Being a bit overused
IIRC - DYRL is explained in the Macross universe as being a movie version of the "real" events from Super Dimension Fortress Macross. In other words, this movie exists in the Macross universe. This explains why it doesn't exactly match the "real" events of the First Space War - it's a dramatization.
same here. i first known macross when i was 5 the time that gundam seed was so populars and its also havve a scene like singing in the battlefield too.... then my father said its nothing compared to macross ....well he absolutely right
At 2:33, Minmay realising the song is turning the tides of the war, At 2:50, overwhelmed, she lost her composure for a bit but regain it back to continue on singing, 2:50 is the bit where it always gets me misty eyed, the realisation of how such a simple love song can change everyone's hearts.
MinMay with a broken heart and steel ovaries fucking sings this for them while holding her sadness at bay. That's some though shit, I can't even watch/listen to this without crying because I've been in her shoes way too many times. This was my song during my 1st break up back in highschool, and it all comes back now.
Man, that must've been such a difficult time in your life... I've been in two relationships and neither ended well, but I have the strength to keep fighting on and I know that the woman of my dreams is out there somewhere. I pray every day that God brings her into my life ☺️
@@wilsonjonah same here. I broke up my last relationship definitely about a year ago after almost 5 on and off years, and it was the most toxic ordeal ever. Now I may be lonely and a bit sad, but I'm also waiting on God's will, and He knows exactly what I want and need.
@@LupusDei777 *cyber hug* I felt that... but like Minmay, I believe that you're strong and can fight through your sorrow. I look at my past relationships not as failures or lost someone, but I see it as I've discovered what NOT to look for. Seeing what I don't want and what I don't need will make me understand what I DO need and want in a relationship. I know she won't be perfect or holy, but like that song says, "I love you so". I'll love and cherish her regardless of her flaws or weaknesses and I'll do whatever I can to strengthen and protect her, no matter what. ☺️
@@wilsonjonah thanks. That's also exactly what I think. The way I see it, had I not gone through hell I wouldn't have become the person I am now. All that pain and suffering ended up being necessary to polish me into the best version of myself, and that experience and wisdom are very rare and valuable in today's hypocrite and honorless society. I used to be so romantic and idealistic until all the mistreatment broke me and desensitized me to the point of not remembering how it used to feel to be in love. Only in my own solitude had I come to realize that I needed to love myself first, and videos like this one reminded me of the pure and innocent feelings I once had, bringing back painful memories that helped me feel something again. Now just I wait for the time when I finally meet the right girl and be the best husband I can be for her and the family she will give me. In the mean time, patience and hope hold the line.
With the level of details, animation, resource and storyline I can't believe that Macross was created in the 1980s by the Japanese. Our childhood will be so dull without Japan's animes and superheroes.
I watched Macross when I was a kid, a teenage and as an adult. Each time I saw with different eyes. Now I'm in my 40s and not only this anime, but this very song I dedicate to my wife. Every single part of it shows how I feel about her and how she changed my world. I'm not alone because she's with me and not only that, I can remember every single day I had with her since we met. This anime will be forever be in my memories. Thank you Macross.
I remember seeing this when I was 10 years old. I forgot how beautiful this song/scene is. Now, 20 years later, I can't stop watching it! Is culture returning to me?
Gol Badolzar wasnt expecting an enemy fighter to appear in front of him like that and timed perfectly with Minmey's hand as if presenting him his tool of death.
Technically the Zentradi and Meltradi are not master race, just mass produced clones from the Protoculture which they died out billions of years ago, who where the real master race. They are the one's that put life onto all the planets that have life form via genetic mutation and research, before they went into a galactic civil war which killed both sides. Leaving the Zentradi with one command left to complete, eliminate the remaining Protoculture ( if there was any left until they found humans which resembled a lot with the Protoculture) Now the humans are left to explore and find out more about the Protoculture. The remain remenets and super weapons the Protoculture had. Fun fact the Protoculture are called the Galactic Empire
Even better when you realize that the SDF-1 Macross is what's left of the humanity since the earth reduced into radiation wasteland by the Zentraedi. They were fighting an impossible war for humanity's survival, and the scene sparks any hope's left in them.
I swear, anime songs from the 80s feel.... I don't know. Feels like something. Soft, smooth, calm, unforgetting. Hard to say, like trying to describe love
In this case, my friend, that is the flower of love and hope that blooms on the battlefield. In other cases, that would be positive feelings born from having experienced the worst this world could offer (WW2 and cold war), and then surpassed that desperation. Without that kind of unique experience, the 80's artists couldn't have left us such masterpieces, engraved with the signs of their era, yet still proved to be so charming to us.
That's 80's in general. It's was filled with youthful ignorance and hope, heart break and love ballads that just make you nostalgic whether you experienced that time or not.
Too many new Jpop songs strike me as shrieking or kiddy. This was obviously also sung by a young woman, but she didn't overdo it. It is clear, it is heartfelt, and it is beautiful. I just don't feel this when listening to most Frontier and Delta songs.
Did you know: As an inside joke among the animators, when Hikaru fires a barrage of missiles on his way to Boddole Zer, two of the missiles are drawn to look like cans of Budweiser and Tako Hai. You can see them here (5:40) and here (5:41) if you go frame by frame!
"It is strange, This song... It feels as though i've heard it eons ago." Well i did not.. and i have no idea why it moves me. Watched Macross the first time a month ago and this songs don't leave me.
I've always been hooked by the duality of this scene: One of the most beautiful love songs ever put in a movie or anime coupled with one of the most brutal space battles in all of sci-fi history. And that's after 39 years of being hooked on anime and sci-fi.
It is kind of a sombre though that all those explosions going off in the background which look like fireworks are probably ships and people being blown up.
I was thinking the same, Macross was pretty brutal and watching this scene again after many years made me remember it hahaha, good ol' times... Minmay, Queen of Idols
I have never watched anything Macross related but why does this song get me everytime?! Damn grown man tearing up in a train at 6 in the morning. DAMMIT.
I remember seeing this as a little kid, I think I was in the 4th grade. I didn't know Japanese at the time, but I still thought this song was so beautiful, and it stuck with me. When I learned Japanese, I think this is one of the most beautiful love songs in the world.
At 3:18 that little part when Max and Milia are supporting each other it's another sign of love in the song, those little things are amazing and you can see how they trust and love each other.
It's good for Macross to be released in the North America but it's sad that there are still a lot of forgotten anime that Harmony Gold hold IPs with during the time of 1990's to early 2000s. It took a court ruling to settle things Big West (Japanese Company in the US) releases everything under the Macross banner and Harmony Gold on their own thing with Robotech licenses. But It's so infuriating as Harmony Gold was still holding off the licenses of a lot of anime IPs so no one can profit from them except themselves in North America.
This makes me cry every time, the song is so intense and the action is mind blowing. The message of Macross has always been "love conquers all" and that it takes love to end war.
Never mind the Budweiser missile and the destruction of the galaxy's biggest aquarium--there are maybe half a dozen songs that consistently bring me to tears. This is one of them, and Mari Iijima and Kazuhiko Kato absolutely earned a lifetime pass for this.
i will still always love the part in the final episode of Macross Frontier when Britai Kridanik is holding the locket with Lynn's picture in and you see his face to see he is an old man. was a sweet homage to him
@@des-geek Oh ok, when i saw the fact plate and the picture of Minmei, i thought it was Britai. Wouldn't you agree it would have been a bit more emotional if it was Britai? thank you for correcting me, i hate getting info wrong
this is not a fucking joke. i am bawling my eyes out and I can't stop. goddamnit why is this so impactful. I fucking love this movie. I have an eternal debt of gratitude to all who made this. fucking masterpiece fuck.
Kids today: Oh my god when Robin started singing at the end of that boss fight in the Honkai Stair Rail patch I cried, it was so epic. Me: *Quietly nodding, but inside a storm rages on.*
it only takes a lovely song of a pop idol to unite 2 different race and end a war. this was so beautiful. top notch quality animation here. full of passion on how they made this
I loved this song for over 30 years. Today, I'm taking Japanese language lessons and learning about the lyrics of this song and it's making me cry. This movie, this scene has so much emotion so much drama. It is so good. Even to this day. Even though I'm sad that this movies time is over I'm very very happy that this moment in time took place. Mari Iijima touched millions of people worldwide. I'll remember love forever.
I remember stumbling across this video years ago, and while scrolling through UA-cam at 2:45AM I found it again. I've never even watched the anime, but I remember this video. I'm so happy that I found it again!
No way, I saw this movie in 1998 and I swore it was from '94 and it turns out it was from '84, when they made it I was 2 years old. I'm 42 years old and I just watched it again last weekend and I still think it's beautiful!
Misa Hayase wrote the lyrics of this song and thus eternalized her feelings for Hikaru. Minmay sings this song while ackowledging she and Hikaru are not made for each other. So romantic and poetic.
When i first saw a glimpse of this opening battle scene on VHS, my eyes widened so much, like a kid in a candy store. I knew I wanted to be an animator. Now I'm still animating. :-) Hope people are enjoying my work. So nostalgic this song. ahhh 🥲

Check out the entire genre of citypop.
Too many new Jpop songs strike me as shrieking or kiddy. This was obviously also sung by a young woman, but she didn't overdo it. It is clear, it is heartfelt, and it is beautiful. I just don't feel this when listening to most Frontier and Delta songs.
Did you know:
As an inside joke among the animators, when Hikaru fires a barrage of missiles on his way to Boddole Zer, two of the missiles are drawn to look like cans of Budweiser and Tako Hai. You can see them here (5:40) and here (5:41) if you go frame by frame!
Mikimoto Haruhiko's character design is so original and iconic. Love his work not only in Macross but also Gunbuster and War in the Pocket.
I could die happy if this got a fourth anniversary theatrical release.
Was wondering how I could be nostalgic for a series I’ve never seen before, but I guess that’s a major plot point!
It's like how 80s city pop gives you nostalgia for a time before you were born, in a country you've never visited.
because the culture gene within you is awaken. thus creating the butterfly effect.
This is classic and forever will be. I’ll never forget this. Never forget how she sings with broken heart…
"It is strange, This song... It feels as though i've heard it eons ago."
Well i did not.. and i have no idea why it moves me. Watched Macross the first time a month ago and this songs don't leave me.
I've always been hooked by the duality of this scene: One of the most beautiful love songs ever put in a movie or anime coupled with one of the most brutal space battles in all of sci-fi history. And that's after 39 years of being hooked on anime and sci-fi.
It is kind of a sombre though that all those explosions going off in the background which look like fireworks are probably ships and people being blown up.
@@joshanator21If you've ever seen Babylon 5...
"...and the sky was full of stars, and every star was an exploding ship - one of ours."
I was thinking the same, Macross was pretty brutal and watching this scene again after many years made me remember it hahaha, good ol' times... Minmay, Queen of Idols
@@joshanator21 What with one person getting decapitated by falling debris, neither a pretty sight or a nice way to go out.
This movie is utterly amazing and should be MANDATORY viewing for anyone even remotely interested in Anime.
Seriously, it's epic.
Everything was hand drawn. No CGI. This anime stood the test of time.
A timeless masterpiece. I watched the original TV series in the past decade and Macross Plus OVA shortly thereafter.Great times.
Happy 40th anniversary to this song and movie!
July 7, 1984. Happy 40th anniversary to Macross: Do You Remember Love. No doubt one of the best anime movies ever made.
One of the most defining moment in anime history where love prevails.
Love was the key.
always has been!
The art style of this anime is gorgeous!
Can’t believe it’s been almost 40 years since I first saw this movie, even more that it still looks and sounds good asf
I have never watched anything Macross related but why does this song get me everytime?!
Damn grown man tearing up in a train at 6 in the morning.
DAMMIT.
I remember seeing this as a little kid, I think I was in the 4th grade. I didn't know Japanese at the time, but I still thought this song was so beautiful, and it stuck with me. When I learned Japanese, I think this is one of the most beautiful love songs in the world.
This song kept looping through my mind during the final ruck of Infantry OSUT. I was so happy to finally make it.
Lynn Minmay is why I love this era of Macross so much. Her voice is so beautiful.
*Her
Happy 40th anniversary!
At 3:18 that little part when Max and Milia are supporting each other it's another sign of love in the song, those little things are amazing and you can see how they trust and love each other.
Yea I don't really get how Juliet and Romeo fall for each other, or even Marius and Cosette. But I totally accept and understand Max and Millia.
This is what todays cartoons/anime is missing.

Thanks to my dad, he is the one who showed me this when I was little. Never knew how much I would love the Macross series until now
One of the greatest works of art ever, it never gets old and is aging like old wine. Everything about "Do you remember love?" is perfect.
I love the absurd amount of lasers and explosions. It actually makes you feel like a giant battle is taking place
Thanks for uploading this. I remember watching this on a Saturday morning when i was a child.
I still get goosebumps when I see this part. AND at the end when Carla put her hand on Misa gives her that look . Such a touching scene.
So incredibly lucky to have grown up with Macross when I was just a kid, back in the 80's.. What a wonderful time for anime!
"Is culture returning to us?"
muh goosebumps
Hell yeah
This is what Harmony Gold does not want the world to see
It's good for Macross to be released in the North America but it's sad that there are still a lot of forgotten anime that Harmony Gold hold IPs with during the time of 1990's to early 2000s. It took a court ruling to settle things Big West (Japanese Company in the US) releases everything under the Macross banner and Harmony Gold on their own thing with Robotech licenses. But It's so infuriating as Harmony Gold was still holding off the licenses of a lot of anime IPs so no one can profit from them except themselves in North America.
This makes me cry every time, the song is so intense and the action is mind blowing.
The message of Macross has always been "love conquers all" and that it takes love to end war.
Logro poner a 500 mil ciclos de luchas entré las mujeres meltradis y los hombres zendradis a unirlos para proteger la protocultura
Puso fin a la guerra entre las mujeres meltradis y los hombres zendradis
Never mind the Budweiser missile and the destruction of the galaxy's biggest aquarium--there are maybe half a dozen songs that consistently bring me to tears. This is one of them, and Mari Iijima and Kazuhiko Kato absolutely earned a lifetime pass for this.
I always have to fight back tears when the chorus and the repeated line hits.
2:07 Rest in peace head decapitated guy, you'll be forgotten in just microsecond
God, this brings back so many memories. I had the entire book series and the original Macross DVD limited edition box set until I lost it a fire
Man, this is painful to read. May your collections be at space, fighting to save humanity.
i will still always love the part in the final episode of Macross Frontier when Britai Kridanik is holding the locket with Lynn's picture in and you see his face to see he is an old man. was a sweet homage to him
I also loved in the final battle of frontier they showed Macross City and even Planet Eden(From the OVA short series Macross Plus)
He wasn't Britai, rather Richard Birler.
@@des-geek Oh ok, when i saw the fact plate and the picture of Minmei, i thought it was Britai. Wouldn't you agree it would have been a bit more emotional if it was Britai? thank you for correcting me, i hate getting info wrong
2024 i still listen this music
I find it amazing how Minmays song changed the tide of battle and helped deliver the final blow of the war
this is not a fucking joke. i am bawling my eyes out and I can't stop. goddamnit why is this so impactful. I fucking love this movie. I have an eternal debt of gratitude to all who made this. fucking masterpiece fuck.
Real
I can see why this was my dad’s favorite song growing up- thanks dad for introducing me to an awesome anime and anime in general
Kids today: Oh my god when Robin started singing at the end of that boss fight in the Honkai Stair Rail patch I cried, it was so epic.
Me: *Quietly nodding, but inside a storm rages on.*
it only takes a lovely song of a pop idol to unite 2 different race and end a war. this was so beautiful. top notch quality animation here. full of passion on how they made this
I loved this song for over 30 years. Today, I'm taking Japanese language lessons and learning about the lyrics of this song and it's making me cry. This movie, this scene has so much emotion so much drama. It is so good. Even to this day. Even though I'm sad that this movies time is over I'm very very happy that this moment in time took place. Mari Iijima touched millions of people worldwide. I'll remember love forever.
Everytime I come back to listen to this it still gives me goosebumps.
Here we go again
One of the best scenes in not only anime, or an animated film, but film history in general
After 40 years, still watching today, my favorite all time❤
5:13
This song still brings tears to my eyes.
To remember the feeling of being in love the first time.
So cool
Why can't this type of anime come back? This is top notch. I never get tried of this.
I remember stumbling across this video years ago, and while scrolling through UA-cam at 2:45AM I found it again. I've never even watched the anime, but I remember this video. I'm so happy that I found it again!
In 2025
Even after more than 40 years. This is STILL PEAK anime
I love how despite all the beautiful singing shit is still going down.
The song was so good, even alien forces wanted to protect it. Only in anime.
This film has aged really well.
Love Is A Universal Language Feeling And Emotion. I dun understand Japanese but I can feel the loving tune from this song.
No way, I saw this movie in 1998 and I swore it was from '94 and it turns out it was from '84, when they made it I was 2 years old. I'm 42 years old and I just watched it again last weekend and I still think it's beautiful!
Misa Hayase wrote the lyrics of this song and thus eternalized her feelings for Hikaru. Minmay sings this song while ackowledging she and Hikaru are not made for each other. So romantic and poetic.
"And now, appearing on the Macross stage... Lynn Minmei!"
Just watched this movie for the first time today. I must say Minmei's Japanese singer is MUCH better then her Robotech version.
When i first saw a glimpse of this opening battle scene on VHS, my eyes widened so much, like a kid in a candy store. I knew I wanted to be an animator. Now I'm still animating. :-) Hope people are enjoying my work. So nostalgic this song. ahhh 🥲
Happy 40th anniversary, "Do You Remember Love?"
