SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love (plus promised Macross Meal culinary tribute)

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: December 30, 2009

I hope everyone enjoyed the Christmas holiday, and after my week off (and the site undergoing work), it’s time for the Macross movie, Do You Remember Love. In it the series has been altered (in ways that change the story and aren’t canon) and shortened into movie format. The familiar characters and mecha have gotten [...]
