The first Macross movie will have a new release that includes English subtitles, even though it will still be only formally available in Japan. Bigwest has revealed that it will release the Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? 4K Remaster set on January 29, 2025. The regular set will be available at ￥9,900 (~$67.75).
The set will contain two discs with the same general content. One of them will be an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with a 16:9 2160p resolution, and the other will be a regular Blu-ray disc with a 4:3 1080p resolution. The English subtitles for Macross: Do You Remember Love? will only be available on the Ultra HD version, as the regular Blu-ray disc will only contain Japanese subtitles.
As a reminder, when Bigwest and Harmony Gold signed a historic deal that allowed the worldwide releases of Macross titles in 2021, it did not include the first Macross TV anime and its movie adaptation, Do You Remember Love?, which the latter had localized as Robotech. That causes subsequent releases like the Macross -Shooting Insight- video game and Disney+ title lineup to omit content related to those titles from global releases and make them exclusive to Japan.
Bigwest has also provided a link to the Macross Spirit Fan Club webpage where people can place a pre-order for the Remaster set. However, the website only supports domestic shipping inside Japan. That means people who reside outside the country will have to find another way to obtain the set.
