Namco Bandai Games has confirmed with ANN that its July
26 Japanese Blu-ray Disc release of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do
You Remember Love? film will have changes from the film's original 1984
version. The Chō Jikū Yōsai Macross: Ai, Oboete Imasu ka Hybrid Pack will
contain two versions of the film, a "Complete Edition (HD Remaster
Edition)" and the "Theatrical Release Edition," which the viewer
can select between.
Both versions in the Hybrid Pack will have changes from
film's original 1984 version. According to Namco Bandai, the two Hybrid Pack
versions both have shots altered as part of the retakes and restoration under
the supervision of director Shoji Kawamori.
The Blu-ray Disc release is called a "Hybrid
Pack" since it also contains a PlayStation 3 game, My Boyfriend's a Pilot
2012.
To promote the Hybrid Pack's release, Namco Bandai
screened a new version of the film in a Tokyo theater earlier this month.
Audience members reported that at least two violent shots of the film were
altered in the screenings, but Namco Bandai did not specify at the time if the
Blu-ray Disc Hybrid Pack will also have changes.
Namco Bandai Games will release the regular edition of
the Hybrid Pack for 7,140 yen (about US$88), and the limited-edition 30th Anniversary
Box will cost 13,800 yen (US$171).
