      I found it at a store while I was stationed in Germany and started watching it. Eventually I found out it was a reboot and it turns out the oringal was one of my dad's favorite shows when he was a kid which I thought was awesome. But definitely doesn't get as much credit as it deserves in the west unfortunately

      Welp, time to ruin the party by saying that Yamato’s wreck is split in two (this wasn’t known when the oh SBY came out), so you can’t hide a space battleship inside it. Of course you can do what the 2199 reboot did by creating a fake wreck that is easier to conceal the Space Battleship itself.

      Yes. The attention to even the small details on the Yamato herself - gun turret swiveling, port and starboard lights and other goodies we get to see in later episodes are just...stunning. When she is at surface rest in an aquatic environment, she looks like she could sail into any port on Earth and tie up at the pier. She is truly a ship in the vast sea of Space.

    • @andrewtaylor940
      @andrewtaylor940 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Well sort of... once you get past the core premise that the Yamato is in any way intact on the sea bed. Somehow the Japanese Mythology surrounding the ship overlook that just as she was sinking the #2 Magazine went up triggering what was to be the long time record holder for largest man made non nuclear explosion. Not to be broken until the on the pad disaster of the Soviet N-1 moon rocket destroyed most of the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the early 70's. Yamato's explosion triggered a 10 mile high mushroom cloud, and registered on seismic monitoring stations around the Pacific. Needless to say the ship did not reach the bottom in one piece. There are 2 large pieces on the bottom with a huge chunk of the ships midsection that was once between them pretty much vaporized. Musashi is much the same. She also suffered a main magazine explosion as she rolled over. The only Yamato class hull that might be mostly intact on the bottom is the mysterious Shinano. The 3rd sister converted into the worlds biggest and worst aircraft carrier, that was sunk by a US sub torpedo about 10 hours after she was first launched. She sank from 1 or 2 torpedo hits due to her watertight doors having not yet been installed. And she was unarmed. So there shouldn't be that many holes in her if she is ever located.

One night at a bar in Roppongi and after a few drinks I noticed a group of 3 Japanese people sitting next to me. One of them had a "Captain Santa" T-shirt on, which I mistook for Okita-san. I yelled over to them: OKITA-San! Uchuu Senkan Yamato!! with my broken Japanese and they replied saying the same. I of course immediately started singing this theme and all 3 of them joined me, they even picked up the one part I forgot... We ended up doing the entire 1.30 minutes. It was a fun experience! Yamato truly is a cultural phenomenon.

The shock cannons would have a range of 100,000 km which would render carriers without instant matter transporters obsolete and the Yamato has insane missile point defence systems which shot down missiles from the comet empire fleet. The Yamato's transit wave motion gun is basically 1000s of times stronger than the death star superlaser which overwhelmed and did alotta damage to the ark of destruction in which could ram gas giants to dust. In general, yes the space battleship Yamato have went down swinging once and recovered, but the enemy that brought it down was a freaking space armada spambot which had billions of ships at their disposal and controlled the ark of destruction. Basically speaking, don't use space carriers and fighters without instant matter transporters or you're a Comet Empire fleet spambot that has God knows how many drones in a swarm or you have plenty of agile single use space battleship size stabbing knifes that impales space battleships and destroys them in which could easily be taken down by missiles.

    I am so happy that this was properly dubbed. Star Blazers as it was called here in the States is one those shows that is well and truly timeless. When I have children I am going to have them watch this show. Not because of the cool space battles or the quite frankly top notch animation, but because at its core this show is about the power of the human spirit and that no matter how impossible the task, we will prevail!

    I didn't know it existed! IMAGINE! Early '80's on a very EARLY Sunday morning. I would sneak downstairs trying not to wake my grandmother. I would use the black and white TV in the kitchen, sometimes adding tinfoil to the rabbit ears to get a better signal. At 6:30 sharp, I heard the words, "We're off to outer space..." BEFORE I know what Japanese animation WAS. Before I knew there was a thing called dubbed (in this case, badly dubbed) BEFORE any of all that, I fell in love with Star Blazers. So much so, that I decided to name my children Nova and Derek Wildstar. Flash foreward through hundreds of anime, both good and bad to the birth of my child, who's middle name is Wildstar. This IS my childhood. Without ths show, I wouldn't have watched Voltron, Robotech, Akira, Warriors of the Wind (Ghibli WHO!?!?!), Gundam Wing, Ranma 1/2, Bleach . Evangelion, Raxephon, Orphen, Sword art online FMA and FMP and so on... I have the live action movie, which was cool and all, but this FELT like it. I could almost see the fuzzy snow from bad reception watching this. I have asked...no DEMANDED... this for Christmas.
    Is it bad I still have the original English dubbed words to this song memorized AND sing along everytime? This VERY LONG TIME Anime fan cried.

A ridiculously scaled battleship; broken by warfare and hubris, that eventually rises to become the sole symbol of Humanity's redemption. In fact, it becomes symboligical of Humanity itself. Beaten down by combat but still persisting in the face of adversity. Long live Yamato and her crew!
