Star Blazers: The Quest for Iscandar (1979) was adapted from Space Battleship Yamato (1974). Star Blazers: Comet Empire (1980) was adapted from Space Battleship Yamato 2 (1978). Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars (1985) was adapted from Space Battleship Yamato 3 (1980).
oh yea this aname is full of WW2 refrences, that's why i love it. i want to try to find the verry first episode of the first season and watch from there, but i'm not sure if i already have or not. i've heard so many diffrent names for this show it's hard to keep them straight.
@THEGREATITANICCHICK Look up sute7899's channel on youtube. It has the first 13 or 14 episodes of the first season, and links in the related videos will lead to his/her other account which has the rest of season 1.
This series I believe the translators for Starblazers stayed closer to the actual translations for the first half and only editid out people dying directly on screen. After about episode 18...whooo boy!
stf the design from the 2. world war battleships match with every single inch that of space battleships that earth could build today. besides my personal gues is that the bouth world powers already got plans for it (the 2 most powerfull technologie lands on earth are Japan(they got android's already and theyre working) and america (germany is just place 3 because we dont have the money to research such technologie first hand)
So Zordar thinks Earth is pretty? I wonder whether he would have said that one year earlier, too. Pity he just missed the meteor bombing, or he would have left Earth alone and turned to conquer Gamilus instead.
FYI - Yamato carries a very significant meaning for most Japanese people. Actually, Yamato is the term Japanese people use for their own ethinic identity (= Yamato people).
Wow I didn't realize this was from '74! When we finally got this in the US it was dubbed for a kiddie audience and was cheesy. But now I see that it's darker and way cooler than ever, and the soundtrack is awesome. Thanks 4 bringing back this good sh**...
i love how desslock just shows up here alive and well. last we saw him he was obliterated by his own energy cannon.......i believe we dont find out how he survived till episode 11 here Ijust befoer he goes after the star force, after the defeat and death of comet empire general torbuck)
That was weird. So Earth was to be invaded and used as a "stepping stone" for the rest of the invasion? Kind of like using Midway as a stepping stone to invade America? Like the panzer commander uniforn....German by ant chance? I would like to see more of these. When did they first start?
imo yamato 2 (star blazers, comet empire) was the best of the 3 seasons. besides the obvious comet empire threatning earth, you have the plotting of invida against both desslok and zordar, and desslocks "captain ahab" quest to destroy yamato/star force. plus the in fighting between knox and wildstar that leads to mutual respect (and knox ulitimate sacrafice)
Ive been trying to find this for ages now! First I found Battle of the planets, Voltron etc and I was trying to remember the name of this show. All I could remember was the ship with the big gun in it! Google as ever is our friend.
watched starblazer religiously as a kid growing up in the early 80's and I just recently ordered the Japanese version. I can't wait to see all of the cool shit that was censored out of the American version. Finally I will see it the way it was meant to be seen!

Thanks for sharing the original Japanese Comet Empire saga. For somebody who was raised on the English Star Blazers version, it's nostalgia AND something new at the same time. Hope you'll post more episodes soon!

''I beg to disagree, Leader Desler is one of the most awesome leaders of Japanese anime of the 80's. We called it Star Blazers here in the
Statesw but this was such an awesome show, with areal bias for powerful alien races that made it so much fun.

Just a part of the lyrics from the Space Battleship Yamato Theme:
We are charged with a mission to save the Earth
Fighting men, burning romance
Someone must undertake this
We are expected to do so
Leaving the galaxy, heading toward Iscandar
We face a great distance

A novel point of Yamato is an attempt of the surface vessel of making space sail like the shape. It is reformative as the SF animated cartoon.
