The triangle love among Misa Hiyase, Hikaru Ichijyo and Lynn Minmei has then begun in the story......(Hope that isn't too much a spoiler.)

Review and thoughts
There is something you have to know if you haven't watch this movie before. There are a few version of this movie, most of them are pretty much the same, are called 'Do You Remember Love', or the Japanese version 'Ai Oboete imasuka'. But the one released in U.S. is called 'Clash of the Bionoids' which is thirty minutes shorter than the original version. The movie is pretty much based on the Macross TV series and the Robotech series. It is believed to be the first Macross movie. I think it is a fine movie, but the thing is that it is also an 'old' movie. Nowadays, if you watch it, it might not be that good to watch. It was consider a great movie when it first came out, but now this movie is over ten years old. This movie is like a sum up of the Macross TV series. I feel that a lot of good things are covered in this short movie: quite a few nice songs sung by Mari Ijima, voice actress for Lynn Minmei, in the interval of the story. The characters are well developed even in this short movie and there are other great things. Artwork and animation and all that are ok. And I would say it is worthwhile to watch even now, thirteen years after the movie was released.
