Macross forms the template that Nadesico uses. The love triangle, the singing idol, the macho friend of the main character, and the influence of culture on the alien enemies. The big difference is that the overall theme of Macross and Nadesico are different.
Martian Successor Nadesico is actually a comedy series, which by and large is a major tribute to the entirety of Macross. On it's own, Nadesico is already a very competent classic, but to have viewed Macross before it, you'll be able to pick up a lot of the referential jokes and observe where the majority of the tropes Nadesico parodies come from. Aside from that, both shows are sci-fi space adventures, where a single ship has to fight an alien enemy on it's own, with mecha, where the protagonist is in a love triangle with two girls, one of whom is an idol of some sort, and the protagonist has an very important mentor pilot. And a lot of other similarities....

Combat, Drama and Adventuring - (And your occasional share of laughs)
Starzinger and Macross shares these entertaining aspects and delivers them to you with their unique 70's and 80's charm that cannot be achieved by modern day anime, whether its in space or on solid ground :o)

Both show's follow a group of peole piloting Large Mecha. How ever there are some diffrences such as the main bad guy in the anime.

So do you like Fighter jets that transform into Gerwalk and Battroid mode that fight aliens? If so then you'll like both of these series. Both of these series are unrelated in terms of universe but were both adapted into the Robotech universe.

Do You Remember Love feels like the staff excised everything good from the TV series and squeezed it into a movie. So you get more "SHAO PAI LONG" and Itano Circus and Max being awesome, and less stock footage and weird filler. There are a few plot discrepancies here and there, but at times, it's better for it. And you only have to wait two hours to see Minmei get the junk slapped out of her. (Sorry, Minmei fans)
