![]() The series began its television run on Family Gekijo exactly one year after the first episode's theatrical debut. Following each of these releases, the episodes were distributed on DVD and BluRay. As the mission becomes increasingly difficult, two senior officers attract followers to their own plan to settle a new planet and re-start human civilization instead of finding Iscandar, and launch a failed mutiny.Īlthough Space Battleship Yamato 2199 was produced as a twenty-six episode television series, it was initially released in a series of seven weekend theatrical releases across Japan beginning on April 7, 2012, with each release consisting of two to four episodes each. Admiral Okita struggles with his own failing health as he fights to fulfill his most important mission. Yamato reaches Iscandar, and the crew learns about the dangerous potential of wave motion energy before receiving Starsha's gift and heading for home.ĭuring the long voyage, Susumu Kodai, Yuki Mori, and other members of the Yamato crew suffer, grow together, and find love. Elements of the resistance ally themselves with Yamato as it nears its destination in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and Yamato's crew eventually confront Dessler's forces on the capital world of Garmillas itself, leading to the leader's exile and the beginning of a new era for the empire. At the same time, a conspiracy to assassinate Dessler and seize the throne is attempted, and a resistance movement against Dessler begins to grow. The empire's unexpected defeat at the hands of a supposedly primitive race draws the attention of the empire's dictatorial leader, Abelt Dessler, who throws more of his empire's might against the Earth vessel in an increasingly desperate bid to stop it. The plans are used to build a new and heavily armed vessel capable of crossing intergalactic space for the device in the short time that remains-the space battleship Yamato.Ĭommanded by Admiral Juzo Okita, Yamato makes its way through the solar system, surprising and thoroughly defeating the Garmillan forces that have been besieging Earth. Queen Starsha of Iscandar delivers a message of hope to humanity, offering them a device that will restore Earth's ruined biosphere and plans for a wave motion engine. In the year 2199, Earth has been reduced to a radioactive desert through years of bombardment by an alien power, the Great Garmillas Empire, its space forces have been hopelessly outclassed, and the few remaining survivors have taken shelter in underground cities. ![]() even if you never saw the cartoon, I'd highly recommend this as a decent time waster.Plot For more details, see List of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 episodes and individual episode summaries. ![]() If you have fond memories of 'Starblazers', this is a MUST SEE. especially compared to the dreck coming out of Hollywood these days. When the 'Yamamoto' took off and the special effects were introduced, I almost crapped my pants! It looked FANTASTIC!! Exactly like my 9 year old mind pictured as if it were brought to life! This movie is FAR from Shakespeare, but for an action space romp, popcorn munching entertainment vehicle. Boy was I surprised! The movie does leap right into things without the background development of the main 'spaceship' or real character introductions, but to enjoy the movie, especially if you have any familiarity with the source cartoon, it really didn't hinder it that much. putting my hopes as high as a SciFy movie of the week or a campy Godzilla movie. I watched and loved the anime 'Starblazers' as a kid and now 30+ years on I find out they've made a live action version of the series that I knew absolutely nothing about! Well, I just HAD to watch it, not expecting anything great. ![]()
