Macross - The Movie ( Japanese 超時空 要塞 マ ク ロ ス 愛 ・ お ぼ え て い ま す か , Chōjikū Yōsai Makurosu: Ai, Oboete Imasu ka , also known as The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? ) Is an anime feature film from the 1984, which among other things founded the mecha genre in the anime and toy sector and made it known worldwide. The film is based on the recently produced and very successful manga and 36-part anime series Chōjikū Yōsai Macross ( The Super Dimension Fortress Macross ) and should therefore appeal to a larger international audience in a more compact form as a feature film.

action

The Zentraedi, a race of high-tech, male giants who believe that the human-owned spaceship Macross is controlled by their archenemies, the Protodevlin, begin a war with humans and pursue those who have fled the earth spaceship hurrying back there.

On the return voyage to earth, the crew repeatedly comes across formations of the Zentraedi and learns to know and use the overtechnology of the ship. While the Zentraedi let go of the earth and exclusively pursue the spaceship, there is a conflict among them between those who want to get to know the people and their culture and those who see the ship, the people and their culture as a prey that it should to succumb. In the following weeks there were constant fighting with the Zentraedi, with the people using "Variable Fighters" of the Valkyrie series (fighter planes ( mechas ) that can be transformed into combat robots ), and then with the suddenly appearing deadly enemies of the Zentraedi, their female counterpart Meltrandi, at the end of which a peace is made with parts of the attacking Zentraedi and Meltrandi fleets. A song found on earth about a race that used to live there, which turns out to be the ancestors (protoculture) of all three groups, plays a major role. Together they finally proceed against the Commander-in-Chief of the Zentraedi, who planned the extermination of the people and their culture.
