They were the poor shmucks Dommel was pasting before he was called off to deal with the Yamato threat. Oops. I forgot about that moment. 😅 7 hours ago, Thom said: For 2205 I will miss the long story arcs, but after 2202 a tighter schedule and storyline would probably be best. The shorter story arc makes a lot more sense if 2205 is a reimagining of the classic movies The New Voyage and Be Forever Yamato. That also means the Dark Nebula Empire is the big baddy instead of the Bolar Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalvasflam Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 At least Masterson is still alive… 😅 I hope the fall of Gamilas has a little more detail than just this. In the original, Gamilas had been abandoned, undefended. Here, it just feels odd that the population is there and the enemy just waltzes right in.

I'm extremely curious for this season (can we call it that?) as i know so little of the original (although 3 seasons were aired in some parts of the US in the late 70's, only Iscandar and The Comet Empire seasons were aired on local TV in Cleveland in 1979 +/-).

This short series/OVA is a reimagining of Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage, a film from 1979 that takes place after the war with the Comet Empire. There’s no word yet on if we will get an update to Yamato 3 (aka Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars). All that said, I was thinking we were going to jump right into a modern retelling of Yamato 3 too, so getting this side story instead is a nice surprise.

Dynaman Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The English BD for 2202 came out six months after 2202 finished in Japan. I thought it was longer than that, maybe since I was waiting for a streaming option I could buy. So six months to a year sounds about right if there is no problem with licensing or such.

Keith Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I think the real question is did the first two seasons sell well enough for funimation to continue the license. I want to hope it's yes, but they never released the movie inbetween 2199 & 2202. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalvasflam Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 A battleship escorted by two carriers. Is there a subtle message that's being sent with that one? Especially considering the battleship is Yamato? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehPW Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 First, is that Smiling Captain sitting behind the new Cheng (Chief Engineer) at 0:22? Second, did they change the arrangement of the classic 2199 stations? That clip generates nothing but excitement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always fault the trainers for that.

Lexomatic Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 For the moon (0:16), it resembles Mimas, the "Death Star" moon of Saturn -- I'm guessing that's a recent bombardment crater (by somebody's superweapon) with four concentric walls of ejecta. FWIW, the first caption line 演習1日目 reads "exercise first day" -- I thought it might be the name of the body. Yamato 2199 et seq. has put some effort into its astronomical realism -- at 1:57, on Day 7, they seem to be conducting exercises around a pulsar. Also, I don't care for the animation of the space fighters: IMHO, it's too Macross-y for this milieu. (My benchmark in this respect are the Starfuries from Babylon 5.) The Cosmo Pythons (that's the new-model Earth fighter, according to Yamato superfan site OurStarblazers.com) ignite engines and are instantly at full speed (0:45), rather than accelerating; they've got RCS thrusters but aren't consistently showing "thrust/counterthrust" (0:50), and make aerodynamic-style moves without thrusters (0:52, 1:06) such as scissoring/swooping (1:04). I do like that the console displays at 0:39 are more concise than in Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-Zero Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Yamato... I have a really deep love from the bottom of my heart for Yamato Anime and Manga. I am a soldier's boy who grew up in Military Lodgings until i was 13. When i was 9 or something, at one of these Military Lodgings, there was a Unripe Almond Tree, which the children including me called, The Yamato. We climbed on it, 4 boys and 1 girl and played Yamato most of the time when we were outside in Military Lodgings, playing. We would eat the unripe almonds on the branches of The Yamato on summer, it was our space battleship Yamato. Those were really fun times which will never come back... I wonder if The Yamato is still alive, i hope they didn't cut it down. I would like to climb on it one last time and scream ''Yamato !!!'' ...one last time, before i die.

TehPW Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 This. At a glance, this appears to be a fan version of SBY 2199 Episode One (an actually good re-telling of it) but there are parts that are clearly added to the story (side expressions from other crew members especially). What exactly does that add to the story telling? If someone could cliff notes a translation, i would love to know, as i was very intrigued by the whole effort...
