This is an old TV animation in1974 as you know.
Almost Japanese traveller players love this content.

Last year, Yamato was remade as real action movie.

In this april, remade again as new animation.

You can get information by youtube using keyword "Yamato 2199."
You can see Japanese space battle ships.

I saw the trailer for it the year before last, and was tempted to get a passport and spend money on a ticket to go see it in Japan. I obviously never did, but I plan on buying the DVD.

I used to watch the animated show as a young man.

The trailer for the Yamato 2199 remake is freakin' awesome and there's a 10 min sample (with subtitles) on youtube here:

And the trailer:

The music has been remade but uses the same melodies. Listening to that majestic intro always makes the hair on my back stand...who could ever forget it?

Saraba...chikyuu yo
tabidatsu fune wa
uchuu senkan
YAMATO!!!

or if you prefer., with a somewhat loose translation...

Farewell, Earth
this ship now departing is
The Space Battleship
YAMATO

uchuu no kanata ISUKANDARU e
unmei seoi ima tobidatsu
kanarazu koko e kaette kuruto
te wo furu hito ni egao de kotae

It departs now to Iskandar,
at the end of the cosmos, bearing its fate.
To the waving people we answer with a smile
"We will come back, no matter what it takes"

ginga wo hanare ISUKANDARU e
harubaru nozomu
uchuu senkan
YA-MA-TO!!!

Going far from the Galaxy towards Iskandar
A faint gleam of hope
The Space Battleship
YA-MA-TO!!!


That darn song gets my eyes moist every time. Even as I type this.

Hurry Yamato and crew! You only have 365 days to save the Earth!

Well that brings back pleasant memories. Sound effects, music, characters...

This looks a good series to look out for.

Be glad you didn't.

It was pretty. Effects were solid, Yamato looks amazing. Acting was wooden, plot was predictable (I'm accounting for the fact that I watched the show in that assessment), and the pacing was poor.

Watch it. Definiatly watch it. But it is not the awesome we were promised.
