HOW DOES IT RELATE TO THE JAPANESE MACROSS?
Although “Do You Remember Love” is based on the Macross TV series, the events in the movie take place outside of the original story’s continuity. Some of the events from the Macross TV series are included in the movie, like Hikaru and Minmay’s time trapped in the SDF-1, Roy Focker’s death, and the final climactic battle against Bodolza. However, new parts were also added such as the Meltran forces and the Protoculture colony ship. While closely resembling each other, the Macross TV series and Macross Movie should be considered separate and unrelated stories. The original Macross storyline has undergone several revisions since the release of the original Macross TV series. According to the newest continuity a la Macross Plus and Macross 7, Macross ’84 is a fictional theatrical release based on the events of the original series. In other words, the movie is NOT part of the official Macross storyline. It is a historical fiction movie *within* the Macross tv series universe released in 203
