The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (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 Macross: Do You Remember Love? (commonly referred to by the acronym "DYRL?" among Western fans) or Super Spacefortress Macross, is a 1984 Japanese animated space opera film based on the Macross anime television series.
The movie is a film adaptation of the original Macross series, with new animation. The storyline of the film does not fit directly into the Macross chronology, and was originally an alternate universe retelling of the story, but was later established as part of the Macross universe. Within the Macross universe, it is a popular movie (in other words a movie within a television series), shown in Macross 7. However, later Macross productions like Macross Frontier have used elements from both the first TV series and this film. In Macross tradition, it features transforming mecha robots, Japanese pop music, and a love triangle. The movie gets its name from its romantic themes and also by the song sung during its climactic battle sequence by Lynn Minmay (voiced by Mari Iijima). In Macross Frontier, a later series in the Macross universe, the first few episodes use re-animated key scenes from this film and Flash Back 2012 too gives viewers glimpses of past events.
