Perhaps this has been asked and answered already, but, why is the Under Armor logo on Cosmo Tiger and the grey haired female fighter pilots uniform?

What else does it mean besides Under Armor?

 

Under Armor sponsored 2202. That's it.

It's pretty dumb not gonna lie.

That is based on the 2199/2202 design.

Bleh, it’s the OG version....the updated 2199 versions looks so much better to me.

Chris

It's a blend of 2199/2202 details and some OG proportions like on the fins.

Is 2202 done yet? I’ve been holding off on watching so I can binge it like I did season 1.

The theatrical release is done, however the TV release isn't.

I think they are over Mars.  You know, I seriously think that the Andromeda Yamanami is using is a new build ship, not the original.  Now unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever know about the exact time skips in each episode, but if I had to guess, if the situation is so dire, and the Andromeda these guys are using is the original, they aren't going to take the time to do a paint job, not when seconds count.   In this case, with their time skip factory, the Cosmo Navy is likely just to give Yamanami a new ship, and put the damaged Andromeda aside for later repairs.  

I'd be curious to see a more detailed explanation though.   The funny thing is given how Zordar is interested in killing the Yamato, he isn't just sending ships after the Yamato while it is being towed.  Instead, he'll trust Soto to do it.  It's just so weird.

Weeks apparently passed, and that is the original Andomeda. Apparently the walls are preventing Gatlantis from warping.

I haven't been keeping up with 2022 (I'll binge watch the entire series when it's complete), and I don't really care about spoilers. 

Is this supposed to be a completely independent ship of Yamato, ie a clone/sister ship of Yamato, or is it the Yamato from a different dimension/time?  I'll be pissed if that's the new Yamato....I hated Resurrection. 

Apologies if it's been covered already, and Google is not my friend.

It's a new ship.

Also Yamato will be getting another refit.

The new ship they're pushing in Chapter 6.

Also known to me as Kobayashi's regurgitated Resurrection design.

I watched 2199 on Crunchyroll and am almost caught up to 2202 on there. Right now CR only has up to episode 13. Does anyone know what the English release schedule looks like for the rest of the series? Or is Funimation further along?Thanks in advance

Funimation shows episodes 1-13 on their site.  I thought they were releasing an episode a week but I'm not keeping track - waiting for the whole thing so I can binge watch it.

They're waiting on the rest of the series to be released. Japan is only up to episode 18 right now.

yikes.

 

I recently finished Yamato 2199 (2012) and quite enjoyed it. I've looked into what's next but it's a little confusing. can anyone please point me to a list of what's next in release order?

If you haven't yet watched it, find a place where you can watch the Odyssey of the Celestial Ark movie for 2199. It's not critical, but it's a really great movie.

2202 is the direct sequel to 2199, so that would be your next viewing after Odyssey.

In other news, some sad news on the modeling front: on Facebook Minoru Itgaki said he talked with some Bandai representatives and they said the 1/72 line of planes models didn't sell well, so they're not gonna be continuing those. So if you're looking forward to new 1/72 models you're crap out of luck.

Is Yamato the show itself this fanservicy?

In 2199, aside from a couple particularly egregious parts, it's not that bad.

Looking at it more, it IS the Andy herself (and smiling Capt.... bites it finally :/ ) They just repainted it for the reason to make another andy variant for your collection

Look at this shot of Yamanami closely.

New trailer!

It's not that the bar is set too high, it's that the competitor decided to do a flying leap in the complete opposite direction.

Is there any good art books related to the second season yet?

 

I wouldn't expect any until the TV series is done.

Synopsis from someone who's watched it.

Quote

But my thunder......

Impressions from the cinema:

 

went there early in the morning, don't like crowded places. still a lot of otakus, mostly men, but also some women, also one white otaku.

there was a special give away and a long line formed. but something special Yamato related wasn't there
the cinema itself wasn't full, but still a lot of people for 9am in the morning, propable most of them were still standing in the line...

during the credits, one japanese person wanted to applaud
after the preview the crowd gave some brief applaud
I also saw one japanese woman washing away some tears
I think she liked it

 

so now some short summaries from what I understood
 

 

starts with a flashback to Dressler's past, as a child he was listening to some super secret meeting of some politicians,
his father? was going to execute him, but Dressler made a promise with his older borther and was allowed to live
next flashback, Dressler is a bit older and he is at the funeral of his older borther, his mother is crying a lot
then some flashback how Dressler becomes the leader
the whole flashback had an interesting drawing style, instead of black for the outlines they used gold

didn't get this part, but he is mad at Teressa for some reason related to his past
in the meantime Yamato starts an offensive against Dresslers fleet to save Kodai and the rest at the ground.
the gamilian Kiman? goes to the ground and meets with the rest
now the twist:
Kiman? is a Dressler and directly related to Boss Dressler, maybe even his son, but not sure on this
after hearing some of Dresslers reasons, he turns on his device which turns off Yamato's core and Yamato becomes a literal dead ship in water
Kiman shots Kodai

 

 

Kodai wakes up, the shoot hit his helmet and he was knocked out. The ground team was captured and now is on Dressler's main ship.
The dead Yamato is surrounded by Dressler's fleet. Kiman has some dialog with Dressler. He meets with Teressa again and ask some questions.
I think Teressa says something like, he should follow his heart and wish, I think Kiman wants to become king or something.
Kiman betrays Dressler, switches off his device, free's Kodai and they escape. During the escape Kiman is shot by the Gatlantian and crashes with his jet in the water.
He almost drowns, but is saved by Yamamoto in the last second.
At the end, Teressa gives a good bye speech and her and her whole planet disappeares somehow.

 

Spoiler

mostly a dialog episode.
Kiman chose Yamato at the end, because on her he found/saw love and friendship
Gatlantis prepares for the battle and they build a new miko
earth also prepares
Yamato prepares, the want to turn their wave motion gun into some kind of Super-Mega-Giga-Wave motion gun
also remember the pilot who is the father of some sick child, the miko on board has some plans for him

can some explain to me who or what Teressa is?

 

 

the battle begins, a scout fleet meets the gatlantian fleet at Saturn
earth's fleet uses Wave motion guns, which are now one every ship
Gatlantis counters with, pause, literal sword ships which ram into the enemy
well, earth's main fleet warps in and they overpower the Gatlantians. to give you an impression how it looks, imagine Fate's Gilgamesh gate of Babylon, but just way more and instead of weapons ships.
Well, Gatlantis main base, this white comet, warps in and it is bigger than Saturn.
earth's fleet prepares to fire all their wave motion guns, they line up and fire. with the help of some kind of focus lenses the wave motion shots become 5 super-wave motion which combine into a Super-Mega-wave motion.
They destroy the gatlantis base.

 

 

just kidding, only the fog is blown away and the real base is revealed. looks  like a metal/crystal bird cage which has planets inside. The thing is bigger than Saturn. And by just moving though it, half of Saturn is destroyed.
Earth's fleet once again shoots its Super-Mega-wave motion but the gatlantian base only turns into the white black hole again and destroyes the fleet. with some help only the hurt Andromeda manages to escape.
Yamato warps in and starts to charge their new  Super-Mega-Giga-Wave motion gun at boint blank. it looks something like ssj4 Gogeta's big bang attack

now a short side story:
remember the miko and the father of the sick child. the miko gave him an example of a medicine which can save his son. she says it can easily be produced and she will give him the recipt, but only if he does something for her.

back to the plot:
the father has the disabling device control in his hands and switches it on. Yamato is a dead ship again and falls towards the white hole. the end.

 

 

a second earth fleet with gamilians aside fights gatlantis
there is a big Gin-Ga {Milkyway} at the end

bye bye god of heavens

Sounds about the same sort of ludicrousness and weird characterization I've come to expect from 2202.

 
From the size of Gatlantis, I'm assuming it's not gonna land on Earth any time soon lol. More like Earth lands on Gatlantis.
 
Also I love how 2199 was about "using the WMG is something that must be treated with gravitas" and yet 2202 goes "you get WMG'd, you get WMG'd, everyone get's WMG'd, do you want a super special deluxe ultra pussy crusher WMG? Here ya go!" Very amusing.

The only ship designs not seen yet is the Destroyers (no WMG visible) and the original BCV's. If i had to guess, they might still be designs to be used for next season?

what do those Quad Triple Barrel mounts do? Both the original Destroyers and Cruisers had those guns but that have never been seen used...

We also haven't seen the EDF battlecruiser.

The triple turrets are torpedo launchers.

Kobayashi posted the orthos for the EDF frigate!
https://twitter.com/makomako713/status/992557303160127488

Compared to the other EDF ships:

125 meters is a bit smaller than I expected, but it's still longer than the original length of 112 meters. Now I hope we can see the other EDF ships!

Keep in mind after the next chapter releases there's still 2 more chapters (or 8 episodes). The next chapter covers episodes 15-18. The original solar system battle started in episode 18.

Yeah I love 2199 a lot. I've spent hours combing through obscure lore stuff and miscellaneous trivia and Google translating Japanese blogs and drawing ships. That doesn't mean I'm not aware of its flaws, like egregious fanservice at times, frakking up stuff like the timeline, and Dessler's ??? actions toward the end.

2202 has just enough potentially good elements that I'm invested in seeing how it turns out (if nothing more than to rewrite it in fanfiction), but a lot of flaws that severely hamper my enjoyment of it.

Kobayashi posted details of the Yamato-colored Andromeda.
 
So some details:

• It's got "high maneuver" thruster nozzles
• The double WMG is split like the WMG on the Dreadnought

So Kobayashi didn't bother giving it an actual name, just the "Andromeda Yamanami Special" like it's some sort of ace custom mech instead of a military warship crewed by hundreds of people. The ID is also weird, ZZZ-0001YF-2203.
 
I like the design overall—Andromeda looks great in Yamato colors—but once again I've niggling issues that hamper my enjoyment.
 
Would like to see some models of it though. The only real thing that would need to be added is the divider in the WMG, which shouldn't be too hard.

Kobayashi be posting things.

Of note is "Neu Balgrey" as the name of one of the Andromeda carriers with a Gamilas insignia.  Also I guess the Shinano was real.
 
Oh yeah, and EDF frigate!
 
Mostly eh about these stuff TBH.

I wonder if Funimation is already subbing or perhaps dubbing season 2.

The producer mentioned talks with a licensing company yesteryear.  Given the dub and sub of 2199 that's ongoing, it's likely we'll get the official dub and sub when 2202's released as a TV series.

If someone is interested to fansub them, I have eps 11-14 of 2202. (Yes, I know C-A normally subs them, but I find them too slow).

Send them to Central Anime.

EDIT: The reason they're slow is because we have to wait for them to receive the Bluray/DVD rips to do work.  There's also no one else who's doing Yamato fansubs IIRC, so they're pretty much the only game in town.

Are the Dreadnoughts discontinued? I don’t see the listing on HLJ anymore.

Chris

There's no reason they'd be discontinued this early into the run given how popular they are.  They're still available on other sites.

Central Anime has uploaded Chapter 3 subs!
