Uchuu Senkan Yamato Opening

[liamvg]

Hadouken!

[MoguMoguMagic]

thumbs up if your watching this in 2011

[johnianflores]

i remember this from a looong time ago, anyone here remember the name of the enemy's gun? that big huge gun that sent it's laser to wherever yamato battleship was?

[Battleship009]

The space battleship Yamato with SDF 1 fighting side by side would be awesome.

[enterprise160]

@Battleship009

I'd love to see the Yamato fighting alongside Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Defiant.

[Battleship009]

I prefer SDF 1 thing better.

[stylianyt]

NOT SO FUN FACT: Iscandar the name of the planet is the way Alexander the Great was called in Persian (middle east) and Central and South Asia (Indias and the rest)

[darkhoogan]

apparently this was voted the most memorable anime song of the 20th century so i just thought i would check it out. its not that bad a song.

[ricardosavagestrike]

Three people are deaf. And Blind. And thick as a plank ><

[CCharmanderK]

FUN FACT: The man who sings this opening, Isao Sasaki, also does the voice of the narrator in the 2010 live-action film! He also played Hajime Saito in Yamato 2 and Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato, as well as Daisuke Shima in Final Yamato.

[BarracudaSP1]

@CCharmanderK I still think they should've brought him back to do the theme song. I didn't like the Alfee version in Rebirth, and "love lives" sounded like it was done for award bait. Isao Sasaki's rendition will always be the best though.

Sasaki-sensei, kanpai!

[TavikToth]

3 People work on the 3rd bridge

[yoavcool1]

3 ppl don't realize geniousness even if it was under their noses

[NoobSnoopy]

THIRD BRIDGE OF DOOM!

[Buemmo]

@NoobSnoopy If you are having service at the 3rd bridge you can be sure you pissed someone off really bad

[X13APro]

3 Dislikes. Get them!

[sledge27]

This opening is EPIC! Listen to that music!

[CityHunter769]

This looks like it came from a Central Anime fansub...

[Iscariotbga]

3 ppl have never sailed through the galaxy on a ship.

[Forysan]

I just now revisited this page and I think I may have been the one to accidentally flagged this. I was trying to embed it to my FB and I accidentally pressed the button. I even tried getting YouTube to unflag it. Sorry everyone.... ^^;;;;;;

[Kalnafein]

@sideim 0/10 try harder

[galloway6204]

@sideim How narrow minded

[galloway6204]

Im 14 and im Completely addicted to this!

[CookyMonzta]

For a majority of animation fans, it is this epic saga (1974-83) that began the golden age of animé. What followed were Galaxy Express 999 (1979-81), everything Gundam from the original series (1979) to Char's Counterattack (1988), the original Macross (1982-87), Vampire Hunter D (1985) and Dirty Pair (1985), and many other classics. To most people, the golden age ended with 'Akira' (1988), which erased all doubts about the power of animé.

[sega31098]

@CookyMonzta

It restarted with Neon Genesis Evangelion in 1995.

[jdbrown24]

can anybody tell me where to find this this is my shit i was aleast 8 ys old wasn't it a english version?

[CookyMonzta]

@jdbrown24 Try eBay, for the original Yamato movies or the English-dubbed (and --cough-- heavily-altered) 'Star Blazers'.

[pchiare]

It's not lost on us westerners, the significance of raising a ship that was originally sunk because it was sent on a suicide, desperate last-ditch mission from the seabed, so it can be sent on a similar mission.... Across the galaxy.

[pchiare]

Some flaggot flagged it.

[berserkgr]

to Iscandar ! Yaaaa maaaaa tooooooooo !

[chobits389]

3 People seemed to have missed the Like button

[ChoppedLiver44060]

I think that we in the U.S. missed a lot of the intended significance behind the series, but it was still awesome. Perhaps to us we wouldn't understand the pride that the Japanese people put into the Yamato. It was a good show for the era, even though (I feel now) that the english voice acting, script and editing gave us an inferior product. It's a much better show in the original format with subtitles.

[322978743]

Who the HELL flagged this as INAPPROPRIATE for youngsters? What an idiot... The TV show was aimed at teenagers anyways ><

Is there a way to unflag videos?

[ErikRuggeri]

Whoever flagged this one deserves the title of : " The Great Moron". There is nothing wrong with it. Also, 5 stars to Yamato. Will the retard (if he has the guts) who flagged it come forward ? Long live Yamato. ErikRcosmictiger1960

[jsm666]

Speaking of flaggers and deleted stuff, does anyone know where I can find the part in which the original Yamato is sunk?

[Gunlord]

Why is this flagged? Also, 5 stars for Yamato

[yolsen1]

wait, this is the opening of the first chapter, I remeber that the initail chorus was faster ; )

[mynameizsofia]

i was almost afraid to look bcs of the birth confirmation i had to do .. wtf,why in gods name is this innapropriate?? --'

[JustyHakubi]

Who's the retard who flagged this?

[chikeeducky]

or maybe they're just jealous, that they never heard of this show.

[Stevemaizuru]

why would anyone flag this video?

[iilija64]

Great video! Long live Yamato!

[FirstSeconds]

mucho loko

[JukeboxHero12345]

This was obviously flagged for being WAY too cool for people under 18 to fully appreciate.

[Stevemaizuru]

Why has this video been flaged???

[ilurvekimba1967]

Some loser who didn't like it must have flagged it.

[inverse2k1]

I think it happened due to its peak of excellency

[schnellbomber87]

I wish ppl could have a way to unflag videos.

[DauSjesn]

I agree.

[harpgos]

What idiot flagged this? It's fine and my kids can watch this...

[schnellbomber87]

I totally agree with you. I can understand the flagging of the deleted final Yamato scene, but this is nothing harmful or dirty.

[Neboolosa]

dear Yamato....always in my heart :O)

[maceinabox]

LONG LIVE YAMATO....and it will never die even if its 'flagged'...he,he,he...well done DauSjen.

[royalpain88]

Rock on man.

[GeneralOlde]

Fucking flaggots. Watch the entire video BEFORE you flag it! >:(

[Stevemaizuru]

Whoever flagged this video?? What an idiot

[DauSjesn]

If I could un-flag it, I would.

[wafflesan1]

@DauSjesn just reflagged this

[pookerville]

I would like someone to upload all the original Japanese episodes of the Quest For Iscandar series!

[PDXCHawk]

learn to Torrent and they will all be yours indefinte of this medium

[DauSjesn]

I would do it myself, But I don't really want to have to split the eps into pieces and upload it.

Central Anime is a good place to look at for aquiring them.

[noisedownloader]

@pookerville two years ago those episodes existed here in you tube, i watched and now i tried to find them, but it seems they are gone

[Xenofan29A]

Wow...I've only seen that bridge on GAINAX shows before. Hideaki Anno loves this show, I know for a fact.

[flaviotrue]

I guess, in the English version, they cut off the part when the Yamato is going to war (WW2) and is sunked by the americans.

[Kikowan]

Fucking flaggers.

[EVA01X]

I really prefer this version of the song to the other ones actually, it kinda made tear up a tad when I first heard it

Christ, I wish I was old enough to have watched Starblazers...

[Greyshader]

Maybe some overpatriotic shovinistic AMERICAN. They don't like the japanese version. But still, it is completely foolish. :/

[GrandMasterYodda]

why in the world did someone flag this?

[Ammazzadraghi]

Who is the crap that flagged this great video "inappropriate"?"?"?"

[Anakatsu]

Why is support for the Japanese war efforts in the first half of the twentieth century any more inappropriate than the films, books, plays, and songs created in support of wars of aggression by anyone? Bah, nevermind. This is not the place for discussion of history, unless you want to be called a faggot.

[radaemon]

Honestly that is something I would like to know as well....!

Whoever it was...imbecille doesn't even begin to describe it! Some people should be delt with at birth!

[garak156]

Who was the IMBECILE that flagged this vid as INAPPROPRIATE?????

[eng3d]

The "360 day left" is a true classic.

[Corzare]

Wow, you suck dick if you don't give a damn about all those men who died. Your ungrateful kind needs to go to the gulags.

[royalpain88]

Just to whom you are talking about? If you are referring to JKensuke, then yeah. I agree fully with you.

[Corzare]

I am, good chap. It's not cool to say such a loss of life "doesn't matter". Millions of men died on both sides for what they believed was right, you can't just dismiss that without being a complete faggot.

[revengefrommars]

What kind of idiot flagged this? Thanks for posting it.

[tsuyoshi15]

who the hell flagged this as inappropriate?!

[ReiPuma]

xntr has a small point, but that kind of knee-jerk reaction is inappropriate considering the tone and theme of the series. Basically, it's racism with an extraordinarily flimsy veneer of pariotism.

[jose2111]

no lo borres porfabor

[xntr]

The stories of this anime and the lyrics of its theme song are supposed to be highly based on the historical fact that the real (naval) battleship Yamato departed to Okinawa on oneway suicidal voyage to fight with US Navy, some months before Japan's defeat in WWII.

So, some might think this anime and its song glorify Imperial Japanese Navy, and hate it.

[CrippledPidgeon]

Well, that works as an argument until you see promos for Otokotachi no Yamato.

While I'm not going to defend Uchuu Senkan Yamato's occasionally blatant statements regarding the war, but at least it was an anime.

Otokotachi no Yamato is a live-action film, for which a nearly complete replica was constructed, and focused on the men who were sent on that suicide mission to Okinawa. So why aren't promos for that film flagged as inappropriate?

[zaku32888]

Space Battleship Yamato isn;t even about WW2 dumb ass!

[ArgentMoo]

Ok who was smokeing what when they flagged this as inappropriate?

[AlexDraco]

Great opening ; why it was flagged as inappropriate lies beyond my comprehension...

[EdealSjesn]

altfactor, thats because its a theme song. And anyways, that version of the themesong is dumb.

[tgarnett25]

@EdealSjesn There have been some horrible western translations of anime series;"Star Blazers" was not one of them.Griffen-Bacal handled this franchise with respect, and in some ways they improved upon it.I'll take Eddie Allen's interpretation of Leader Desslok over Masado Ibu's monitone Lord Deslar.I also prefer Avatar over Okita.And isn't it odd that the 2010 Yamato film makes reference to Gamilons, not 'Gamilusions' as they did in the original series.Both shows were good in their own way.

[Nabe3012]

これは、貴重な第１話～第３話までのＯＰではないですか！

どっからもってきたの？

[lionmaru]

DVD Box-set.

[altfactor]

No mention of the Gamillions (who were referred to in the English-language theme music).

[NewWaveSyd]

Why on earth would someone flag THIS as inappropriate?

Wow, complete blast from my childhood.

[bitchen01]

The Gamilons!!

[DarthAcroyear]

What a truely wonderful series.

[lionmaru]

This version of opeining was used just episode 1~3.
