I Do Remember (Streaming) Love

Certain notices there’d just happen to be a one-time and altogether unofficial streaming screening of “the Macross movie” Do You Remember Love? managed to reach my eyes. In the midst of another “quarter,” working my way through multiple anime series according to a self-imposed weekly schedule (although I did manage to watch a few movies in the first weeks of this year before my schedule filled in altogether), and last having seen Do You Remember Love almost five years ago, as a somewhat impulsive addition to returning to the original Macross anime and a great number of other titles I could link to it in tenuous ways, the thought of just happening to drop in on the stream grew on me. One comment that showed up early on was that the movie would be streamed with its old English dub of uncertain provenance, linked with the more peculiar name “Clash of the Bionoids.” Having dared just short clips of that dub before might only have been an odd encouragement this time, although there was a thought or two about “leaving early” should the late night get to me. For that matter, I was uncertain about promises of a double bill that didn’t name the second title.
( As it turned out... )
