SDF Macross - Do You Remember Love? 

I love how an idol song LITERALLY made them into men of culture

If you're watching this You're a man of protoculture

idol : *start singing* the aliens : ah i see im a man of culture as well

Fully hand-drawn animation, sweet old times. This scene was unforgettable.

Minmay was singing this song with all her heart while it was broken.

You all know why you’re here. After 35 years, we’re finally freed from Harmony Gold’s grasp. Macross...is finally... free...

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.

Love can fix everything. Love and a lot of bullets.

2024 STILL HERE DO YOU REMEBER LOVE? AFTER ALL YOU HAD GO THROUGH?

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.

POV: You’re an alien master race and the primitive species you’re conquering bumps an idol love song while destroying you

This year this masterpiece turns 40 years old...

Rest in peace to dude who got his head cut off. Always felt super bad for him

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.

Some random idol in space start singing.. Aliens: why do I hear boss music?

Today is the 36th anniversary of this gem! This was released theatrically last July 7, 1984.

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.

This anime was ahead of its time. Golden masterpiece.

Macross was my father's favorite anime in the 80s. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because I like this a lot.

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.

45 yrs old 1st saw this 1986 at 16 yrs old. NEVER GETS OLD KICK ASS SHIT NO subtitles.

This is what Harmony Gold does not want the world to see

I hope people will remember love now. Please love each other.

I think the part I love most of this is Minmay's realization that her singing actually HAS a made a difference for the sake of ending the war

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?

You can tell, just by looking, that this scene was a real labor of love.

"Just an ordinary love song..." This movie is great, guys.

This is what todays cartoons/anime is missing.

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.

Happy 40 years adversity of this song in June. This is the best memory I have of my childhood.

man that smile at 2:32 , knowing that her song has turned the course of things, always makes me smile.

5:19 Minmay’s voice pairs so perfectly with the rising scream of Hikaru’s thrusters

Jesus Christ, anime was fucking epic in the 80s...

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

It’s 2023 and I still get Goosebumps even after all these years 🥹

Almost 40 years old and its STILL an amazing animated movie.

This movie is utterly amazing and should be MANDATORY viewing for anyone even remotely interested in Anime. Seriously, it's epic.

Love was the key.

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.

Happy 40th anniversary to this song and movie!

2:07 Rest in peace head decapitated guy, you'll be forgotten in just microsecond

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.

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 pity the new generation who grow up without masterpieces like this.

hikaru entered the base in airplane mode, then in guardian and finally in valkyrie great scene

We all here are men of culture

This is the best story of macross... nostalgic im 41 years of age now. But this anime is one of may favorite❤

The movie is like 10 times better than the original séries

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.

This is classic and forever will be. I’ll never forget this. Never forget how she sings with broken heart…

I just hope whoever worked on this knows what a good job they did

The song was so good, even alien forces wanted to protect it. Only in anime.

5:13 This song still brings tears to my eyes. To remember the feeling of being in love the first time.

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.

Still love this song (& various other Macross music) 40 years later, & have them in my MP3 song collection. 👍

Que canción más hermosa por dios!!!!

Just watched this movie for the first time today. I must say Minmei's Japanese singer is MUCH better then her Robotech version.

The art style of this anime is gorgeous!

A timeless masterpiece. I watched the original TV series in the past decade and Macross Plus OVA shortly thereafter.Great times.

Lynn Minmay is why I love this era of Macross so much. His voice is so beautiful.

"Is culture returning to us?" muh goosebumps

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 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.

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

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

One of the most defining moment in anime history where love prevails.

I could die happy if this got a fourth anniversary theatrical release.

Maybe one of the greatest scenes in all of anime history. Truly epic.

Why can't this type of anime come back? This is top notch. I never get tried of this.

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

The "feels" of the old anime. Man you cant bring that back now, its all nostalgic and.. i just cant explain it. It feels like i was there at that time

NASA planning to name one of the chasma of pluto as Macross. I think its a great idea.

What a beautiful song

Everytime I come back to listen to this it still gives me goosebumps.

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.

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!

I always have to fight back tears when the chorus and the repeated line hits.

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.

This film has aged really well.

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.

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 🥲

A masterpiece at it's finest. I just wish Harmony Gold did not keep the license for Marcross, and bastardize it into Robotech, and keep this movie from releasing in the US. This still remains my most favorite anime movie, even though it was released a year before I was born.

Those mechas are so badass!!!!

There's a moment here at 5:48, where she puts her hand forward and the Valkyrie appears in almost as if she put him there, that's visual poetry. If you've watched Gurren Lagann, there's a very similar spot in the finale where Nia points her hand at the enemy and the mech appears.

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

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

One of the best scenes in not only anime, or an animated film, but film history in general

I remember stumbling across this video years ago, and while scrolling through RU-vid 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!

The woman's voice is a glorious thing🎶

It sucks that it's hard to make stuff that looks as cool as this.

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.

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.

the year is 2022... im still here.. i still cry whenever i watch this video...

I find it amazing how Minmays song changed the tide of battle and helped deliver the final blow of the war

"And now, appearing on the Macross stage... Lynn Minmei!"

This movie was dubbed and released on VHS (uncut) here in Sweden and renamed MACROSS - The Feature film about Robotech. Later, it got released on DVD with the title MACROSS - The Feature film about Robotech and TRANSFORMERS. I am not making this up.

Tomnuki 3.33K subscribers Truly one of the GREATEST cult classic movies from the 80's alongside "Predator" (1987), "The Last Starfighter" (1984), "The Gremlins" (1984), "The Little Mermaid" (1989), and "The Goonies" (1985)!

I love the absurd amount of lasers and explosions. It actually makes you feel like a giant battle is taking place

This song makes me crying. I don't know why...
