Choujikuu Yousai MACROSS (超時空要塞マクロス), translated as "Super Spacetime Fortress Macross" (or more correctly, "Hyperspace Fortress Macross"), also known in English as The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, is the first anime television series of the MACROSS franchise that first aired in Japan on October 3, 1982. The weekly series lasted 36 episodes.
According to concept and fictional story creator Kawamori Shouji it depicts "a small love triangle against the backdrop of great battles" during the first human-alien war. It is set in a fictional alternate history of Earth after the year 1999 and during the period of the years 2009-2012.
It is a famous science fiction series that combines transformable real robot mecha, epic apocalyptic space combat, wartime romance, and music. It features mechanical designs by Miyatake Kazutaka and Kawamori Shouji (both of Studio Nue) and character designs by Mikimoto Haruhiko of Artland.
Macross also created one of the first anime idols Lynn Minmay, turning her voice actress Mari Iijima into an instant celebrity, and launching her musical career.
Most of its animation (with edited content, revised dialogue and a different soundtrack) was adapted outside of Japan for the first saga of Robotech.
In Japan the TV series were adapted into an acclaimed anime film called Macross: Do You Remember Love? that was released in japanese movie theaters during 1984.
