Official Synopsis
The crew of the Space Battleship Yamato set out on a journey to the planet Iscandar to acquire a device that can heal the ravaged Earth.
What We Learned:
Anime connoisseurs in the USA call it Star Blazers. The Japanese know it from the 70s as Space Battleship Yamato. We’re calling it a space opera epic begging to be seen.
Why We’re Gonna Watch:
The gauge for the melodrama is likely to break on this one. But we’re gonna have to choke back our natural revulsion for such theatrics. It’s a battleship cruising the spaceways on a mission to save the world. Watching it is an imperative.
When’s it coming?
They say December 2010 in Japan.
