You know what this movie is lacking? Some kind of wacky glowing space alien broad that makes life difficult for the Yamato crew...oh wait...nevermind.
Cyberium, your comments are so insiteful, they really help me look into this and appreciate it even more. my dad who first got me started with these told me that he loved seeing these as a kid because the emotions and personalities are so realistic and i have to say i totally agree.
hey wtf, cmon you stupid cosmo tigers, at least drop some bombs on the energy plants before leaving. and you need to make a whole new gun to shoot down some missles? o_o
The Aquarius Goddess takes care of that,personally i always thought she was bitch for letting Dengiul build a energy plant on her planet and giving the StarForce a brief curt explaination and telling them to split.Desslock should of capped her ass instead of Phanthom.The best space goddess in Yamto was Trelania........
Aquarius looks like a nice place to live. Maybe the Dinguil could live THERE? No, they would rather live on a flooded Earth, where 100% of all landmass is submerged beneath the ocean. Too bad their planet EXPLODED (yeah right) after getting flooded, or else they could've stayed there. Man, this movie.
A planet like Aquarius keeps moving... it could be very close to a sun or very far from it, such unstable 'paradise' is technically the WORST choice for residence.
Somehow all those beautiful trees and lovely flowers find a way to grow on this planet. Doesn't need to even be that big, since almost ALL the Dinguil race are freaking DEAD. That last little fleet that Desler wipes out are IT. So anyway, what if Earth EXPLODED after being flooded. Man what sense does that make. And why do the explosions in Final Yamato look so wimpy? Just one single shade of blue with no bossy white core like back in the day. Shrapnel too hard to animate now?
@TokyoXtreme I've learned Yamato is one of those things where you'd better discard your common sense at the door - because no one in the show seems to have it!
It's kinda like why earth seems to be a constant target for invasion. I guess that's why the third series is my favourite, it seems to suffer least from the clichés.
There really is no description on how much I adore Captain Okita. When Aquarius spoke, everyone was like "WHO? WHO? WHO?" and he merely raised his eye brow. When the ship was consumed by enemy's attack (9/15) he was the only person remained calm on his seat while everyone else was screaming hopelessly.
In the first movie, queen Starsha was deceased before Yamato arrived on Iscandar, she greeted them with mere image as well. In many of Reiji's work women are often presented as elusive, powerful, and spiritual. Aquarius here is like that, an object with great spirit embedded inside, like Yamato itself.
I don't think we watched the same movie. Starsha in the original first Yamato was a live human being who married to Mamoru, Susumu's older brother. Sasha is their beautiful daughter in "Be Forever Yamato".
(Continuing)I realized that since 1982, instead of making good story plots, Japanese anime makers increasingly started to press down their worldviews on viewers; their specific opinions on the nature, politics, history, and religions. No thanks to anime's spirituality.
Strange... I know that in TV series Starsha was a live and sound and yes, married Susumu's brother and had a child. The movie I remembered was that Starsha greeted the crew of Yamato with a mere holographic image of herself and she told them rest assure, the machine had been prepared even without her presence. Might have been an alternated version, who knows...
Wouldn't it be nice if the queen of Aquarius was a human who was in fact a distant descendant of Gamilus or Iscandar and ends up marrying Desler? (I just love the man's composed manner!)though it'd make the movie 6 hours instead of 3. I wanted see Desler's happy-ending romance in Yamato series.
Have you seen the comic series on starblazers dot com? It was pretty nice, story was set twenty years after the end of Final Yamato. Desler appeared also, same old stylish man.
I finally got it:thanks! I knew the story existed because I had read various Yamato novels but never have seen the film. It was literally like time-travel to me!! Very depressing, though. Some say Japanese beautify death. Maybe. But I think they are in tune with Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
lso, the theme of heaven = hell is persistent in Yamato series. Iscandar and Galmon were neighboring planet, one presents redemption and the other destruction, yet the Iscandar is dying while Galmon is prospering. Aquarius gives life but also takes life with its water. Yamato saved earth with the death of Galmon (quoted the crew from first season). What is Garden of Eden without Adam and Eve's exile?
Redemption is a huge word. It involves fundamental changing in human nature and change of one's eternal destination. Even though Iscandar's CosmocleanerD saves Earth, if the mankind continue to engage in selfishness, immorality, abuse and cruelty, that's not redemption at all; it's just a rescue. I think Mr.Matsumoto did not have the full concept.
Matsumoto had greater influence on the first series (Journey to Iscandar) and did not intend to have a series #2. The company saw the popularity of the first movie and intended to have sequels. However, even in the second, Kodai and crew agree that current (as in #2) human society of material-focused life is not what them or Captain Okita had pictured to become when they return from Isacandar.
What's the music that starts at 8:21 called? It's AWESOME!!

@nosorab3 この曲の曲名は、”未知なる空間を進むヤマト”と言います。The title of this music says Yamato "going ahead through the" unknown space.

I think that there is the star which resembled Aquarius somewhere of the space.
The star which attached a hair ornament.
However, the person seems not to have been able to live for a long time in Aquarius.

In the end, Yamato set sail again for what they believe to be right, refuse to give in to the corruption, I think the theme is still there.
