The classic mecha anime movie Macross: Do You Remember Love? will take a Release 4K remastered next year in Japan and will include English subtitles.
Macross: Do You Remember Love? originally released in 1984, it was a retelling of the original Long TV series. Yes, regarding her Long saga canon, the film is actually a documentary of its events Space War One is released within it Long timeline around 2031.
The latter is a fun point because many characters in the Long saga cite the film as something that influenced their lives later timeline of the saga.
That aside, Macross: Do You Remember Love? is arguably one of the best anime movies of the 80s. Co-directed by Shoji Kawamori, who also did the film’s mechanical design with Kazutaka Miyatake, Macross: Do You Remember Love? it is rightfully regarded as an anime classic.
Facing an invasion of giant aliens, humanity is almost extinct except for a few very talented variable fighter pilots and the power of music. The original Long has a fascinating cultural case and Macross: Do You Remember Love? he handles it very skillfully.
What makes this version different, apart from the 4K remaster, is that it will also include English subtitles.
The new remastered trailer (seen below) says it will be released on 4K Blu-ray and regular Blu-ray on January 29th, with theatrical releases in Japan a few days earlier on January 25th.
This is also a Japan-only release for now, but The Japanese Blu-rays share the same region as the USso you will be able to import this 4K remaster just fine.
To date, in addition to the VHS and DVD releases, this is the third Blu-ray release Macross: Do You Remember Love? as we had one in 2012 and another in 2016. The 2012 version also contained a small video game for PlayStation 3 developed by Artdink.
Artdink has done a lot Long games over the years, with some on PlayStation Portable, Vita and much older Makros 30 on PlayStation 3. These days, Artdink worked the extraordinary Triangle Strategy and SD Gundam Battle Alliance.
