Megurine Luka in CR Space Battleship Yamato English Version

[starsiegeplayer]

Lady has a pretty voice but is hard to hear her.

[brunovoxxx]

fuck shit music

[jonbonzo97]

There is no real need to bash any of this guys. After all, it's just science fiction, good ol' fashioned FUN science fiction. It's meant for fun. There is a vast variety for all different tastes. In the end, it's all good and fun, so just enjoy it; life is already hard enough without having to argue of which came first or which one is better. In the end, if it brings a smile to you, it's done its job. Peace everyone!! :)

[Owyheemud]

@RX78

The argument is of no significance, but I don't think "many people" think "Star Wars" is a copy of a silly japanese cartoon. Maybe just a few, like you do, but I dare you Mother F****r, I double-dare you, to say Ralph McQuarrie used your silly japanese cartoon as an inspiration for his "Star Wars" art work (btw, Lucas first discussed his concept for what would become "Star Wars" with McQuarrie in 1972).

[Owyheemud]

@RX78

Supposedly, but he was also following the formula for mythology written by Joseph Campbell ("The Power of Myth"). I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that Lucas borrowed some ideas from "Battle in Outer Space" (Toho Studios "The Great Space War" 1959), itself probably borrowing ideas from the 1930's "Flash Gordon" serials. My (irrelevant and unimportant) point is Lucas wasn't copying some silly 1975 Japanese animation.

[RX78]

@Owyheemud

I think the reason why many people assume Star Wars copied Space Battleship Yamato is that a lot of Hollywood movies copied Japanese anime. The Matrix copied Ghost in the Shell for example. if you don't know about it, look at my favorites (The Matrix vs Ghost in the Shell).

btw Space Battleship Yamato came out in 1974.

[Owyheemud]

@Zanseikyu

You do realize Star Wars was in post-production before this cartoon was released. Lucas had all conceptual storyboard and artwork completed, and his Dykstraflex studio had started filming miniatures and pyrotechnics, about a year before this cartoon was released.

In the grand scheme, its a trivial thing no doubt, but the claim that the first Star Wars (live action) movie, in any way, copied this cartoon, is purely stoopid.

[RX78]

@Owyheemud

George Lucas is known as a fan of Japanese movies. and he acknowledges that the plot and characters in the 1958 Japanese film The Hidden Fortress were a major inspiration. if you don't know about it, look at my favorites (George Lucas talks about the influence of samurai movies on Star Wars).

[sanngetalsson]

Nicely done. I love seeing updated animations of Star Blazers. :-D

[67irishfire]

the singer sounds like she's under water.

[patricksavalle]

Why is Heidi singing?

[Zanseikyu]

@SciFiGuy001 öh...you know that the space battleship yamato was created before star wars don´t you?^^ so ..if you want to say something...then say...the death star has the same weapon like the yamato not the other way^^

[niklashbg]

Nice. It's basicly a boat with a HUGE thruster strapped on to it... -.-

[leo20789]

anyway its from the 70s so it feels kind of ancient

[leo20789]

no im just kidding this is anime

[leo20789]

wait a second but this is not what really happened  in the movie

[dalexandru20]

The war from the movie started because of this song.

[JaXXon80]

btw Megurine Luka (the singer) is a computer program -.-'

for sure it cant sing very good :D

Shes a vocaloid... google it..

[Naoko1960]

Science fiction...Requires imagination ! - Yamato takes the original series

and Makes what look like a good movie ..Alot better than that Thunderbirds

thing years back.

If you dont want to watch it then go watch the dog on a skate board video !

If you want flaws look at the Space Shuttle and the President that cancelled it !

For the Children !

[jdwizard99]

Airplane thingies: We are SO flippin' awesome!

*Big huge boat thingy comes up*

Airplane thingies: Crud

Big huge boat thingy: SCREW YOUR CRAP!

[rlrutherford1]

For those of you looking for Star Wars comparisons, the original Space Battleship Yamato aired in 1974.

[akipon181]

まだ映画版は見てないけど、これ見たら映画を観たくなったなぁ。



[kilz7]

guys where to download it ???

[falcondesigns]

Please give me the japanese version,this is torture......

[nejilee19]

me cagaste la infancia

[SynthPenguin]

What are those jets escorting the Yamato?

I'm not familiar with the Anime, but is there any info on them?

[jhelmsorig]

I am getting chills watching this I WANT MOAR!!!

[Drumzarias]

Lazers that dammage can be seen. Only weak red lazers and not so weak IR lazers are not visible to the naked eye.

[sholantelepath]

............. SINGER CHOICE FAIL!!!!!! This is like... the way layed back version of the song. the vocals are so melo and hard to understand that the Music makes them almost unhearable. Get Isao Sasaki to do the theme and give the series justice. Just listen to his version!

[spellbreakerko]

What if Piko sang the original version of that song?

[NoobSnoopy]

0:47 andromeda <33

[hosmanocosta]

que esse povo ta falando que nao entendo nada...rs

[Crashbandicout]

@hosmanocosta LOL eu tb nao...

[flagelobraz]

derek widstar go ahed , great cartoon , great series , good times!!

[PJMontoya]

Those that are looking for "realism" in a cartoon that originated in the 70's need to look elsewhere. The ship has the bow of an oceanship because it was the original Yamato converted for space travel. Of course it's impossible. Just like Star Wars, Star Trek, Transformers, Avatar and most every other movie. So shut up and enjoy it or ignore it altogether. Bashing it by pointing out it's flaws don't make you seem smart.

[michaeldublg]

@PJMontoya THANK YOU !!! i agree ! geeeez, I'm reading some of the comments on here and there pretty stupid, if they want realism then they should go watch a documentary on world war 2 ... ugh !!

[kineticdeath]

@PJMontoya yeah huh, in my opinion its one of the sexiest sci-fi starships created. very few have a real "wow" factor". Starwars and startrek all have horribly unimaginative ships (a big sphere or a big cube so thoughtfull) Even some ships from my beloved babylon 5 dont score points with me. But this Battleship Yamato is hot! Love the broadside rapid firing guns and turrets = win

[irR4tiOn4L]

@PJMontoya Well youve got to admit, it could be mildly less ridiculous..

Its like Tin tin vs Astro Man - something about manga that makes it that much more absurd

[SCaitan]

What do they do when an enemy comes from below? All their massive and overpowered guns seem only to work in a very limited angle. Not to mention the anti aircraft guns which are good looking at best but utterly useless.

Also, even modern cars put all the sensor and comm equipment into the hull. The first volley would totally cripple this ships antenna...

[galloway62042009]

@SCaitan Cosmo tigers or just bank sideways

[nyantaruuu]

Empire of Japan BANZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIi！！­！！！！！

His Majesty The Emperor BANZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIII！！！！！

[jboweruk]

I agree the idea of a normal 'ship' modified to space capability is a bit more than just far fetched. Still looks cool though. And as to having gun turrets well.... Why not?

[michaeldublg]

@jboweruk actually its not far fetched at all, submarines are just as capable of keeping humans alive in space as they are under water ....

[McCbobbish]

The ship seems a little overpowered.

[Hatzi89]

quite nice main gun

japanest death star? ^^

but one question: why does a spaceship need a bow like a ordinary ship?

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

What I don't get is why they use sad jerky character animation while they managed to make everything else awesome

[steeloavenger]

I just screamed with GLEE like a little girl!!!

[PJMontoya]

That chick at the end of the video. The one where it looks like they're gonna sail the ship into her face. You know her dad used to drink when she was conceived. You can tell by how wide apart the eyes are. I'm just sayin.

[mudguts]

Ack! That broke my awesome meter. Gotta watch that show now!!

[matleyz]

I first watched this a few months ago, and naîvely thought that Megurine Luka was a person. I have learned much since then.

[sirwuff]

Light in the common spectrum yes, can not be seen. In concentrated plasma or ion jacketed control is visible. Rail-guns, plasma canons and particle injector streams are visible. The colliders used to slam atoms together is the same energy based concept when aimed outward and not in and is visible.

As for the shaky cam, they are using the format that was used in Battlestar Galactica. It gives the effect that you are there and not just watching another distant even

[teamsterjeffrey]

is this from the video game they had in japan? it seems like a mix of cgi and cartoon i wonder if these are clips from the game for ps2

[teamsterjeffrey]

is this from the video game they had in japan?

[ryugyoku]

昔を思い出すなぁ。

[AtiaRotias]

wait a minute, so is the ship called Yamato in English version as well or wut?

[Capt777harris]

The Yamato is supposed to have wings that fold out.... but it's not important :)

[mehigh2marsiansky]

the first half of the video, is it an upcoming yamato anime?

[CapyGuy]

No offense to Ms. Luka, but I don't think she really displays the power this theme (& the visuals) call for. I mean, I can barely hear her and it just doesn't have the bad-ass quality the song usually has.

[matleyz]

@CapyGuy Don't worry. Ms. Luka won't be offended. Look up her name in Wikipedia.

[Capt777harris]

OH man, this brings back memories.

[VulpisFoxfire]

Huh. Looks awesome, other than the shakeycam. I'm just hoping the Japanese are smart enough to just go with the original story, rather than turn it into another Battlestar Galactica-type screwup.

[WindwalkerOldwolf]

It was created in 1973 and the singer usually sings the themeson in japanese

[WindwalkerOldwolf]

It was created in 1973

[PeterRSewell]

i have seen this vid so many times(with out the singer) and it is awesome, but i was wondering, dose this mean there going to remaster the entire first and second series like this or is it just a fan creation?

[ShadowDarter]

loose the singer............. its pure murder

[ShadowDarter]

loose the singer............. its pure murder

[KrazyKommieKiller]

You know that at some point a bunch of executives got together and one said something like, "It's the battleship Yamato, BUT IN SPACE!"

[geepchaser]

FUCKIN SWEEEEEET !!!!!!!!

[JaXXon80]

WTH is this?! whats the name of the series? :D AWESOME

[kb7rky]

@JaXXon80 In Japan, it was called Space Cruiser Yamato. In the US, it was called Star Blazers.

[Sage2000]

By the way: I aways dreamed of been a Black Tiger Squadron Pilot as a kid!

[Joedoha]

What is the exact name of this movie and what year was it released? the Graphics are unbelieveable!! Awesome tribute to Yamato...

[DLAbaoaqu]

Great! Now let's hear it with an Engloid.

[sphinxrising58]

I'm puzzled, according to Wiki, Star Blazers first showed up in the states in 79, which would have made me 21, but I clearly recall watching this show when I was in Jr. High so it had to be shown in the states earlier than 79.

[Sage2000]

@sphinxrising58

There is the possibility of you had seem "Yamato" and not the cut-off/edited/renamed "Star Blazers".

The true Yamato is a homenage to the Japanese resistance in the final momments of the WW2. USA was not quite ready to say to their kids that the japanese are the hero, and US is the villain (metaphoric speaking of course).

^^

[sphinxrising58]

@Sage2000 Possible, it was a very long time ago, but I recall being impressed by the art of the cartoon, which as you know, blew the art of regular cartoons being shown in the USA out of the water, as well as action.

[kb7rky]

@sphinxrising58 I remember it coming out shortly after the original Star Wars was released. I was in Jr. High in 79, so it (the US release date) isn't too far off.

[sphinxrising58]

@kb7rky I recall being in Jr High and it would come on at around 6-6:30 AM every weekday so it had to be in the states before 79.

[kb7rky]

@sphinxrising58 It is possible...damn my old age >:P

I remember the furor that arose when the comparisons to Star Wars came out. It was reported that the anime was released in Japan *before* Star Wars (I think in '74).

Needless to say, it was an awesome cartoon that came to the States in the late 70's, so let's be glad we grew up with it ;)

[avernikas]

It's 1982, I'm that 5 year old kid, watching this again. Good times.

[kb7rky]

@avernikas It put a lump in my throat, as well...

[sphinxrising58]

Damn, only took them 30+ years to get around to making a real life version of one of the best cartoons ever, lol

[ferelg]

O_o!!! oh myyy!!! Sound very alien this voiceeeee!!!!

[SpartanG61]

LOOOl go to the battle with the big bazooka flying ship:P

[akillerofklngs]

was deric wildstar born in america ? i demand he run for prez we need a guy like him in the white house .... although he looked freakisly deformed back in the 70's hes got my vote

[TwilightRageX]

Anime or not it still falls under science fiction. Realism doesn't matter. Science FICTION not Science FACT. It's Starblazers, can't we just love it? lol.

[lessQQmorepewpeww]

It makes me smile when I see people arguing about the realism of anime. You guys do realize a ship just flew out of the damn ocean and launched into space and then WTFLAZER'd something in that same space? A fucking battleship with a ballast tank. This is almost like the cat pushing a watermelon out of the lake, it makes all arguments invalid.

[artheric1]

@ everyone arguing about realism.....

If you don't like that it's not being realistic THEN DON"T WATCH IT. End of discussion. Go find a realistic show that suits your needs and leave the people who actually appreciate this show ALONE

[Lumotaku]

Lol best comment Iove it for what it is nothing in star trek or star wars is realistc either.

[sphinxrising58]

@artheric1 Well said :)

[artheric1]

@sphinxrising58 :) 

[arcanjodebronze]

Deu vontadade de rir, chorar tudo ao mesmo tempo. Lendas não morrem!

[songcharoen]

This is amazing! I love it. Great job :-)

[StealthWS6]

is this a tv series or something?

[XBxUxTxCxHxExRX]

Man that thing must be going like 500 million barrels Per Barrel haha

[Quixpeed]

outstanding .... can't wait to get my eyes on this ....

[demurebeppe]

English or not, I can't understand a single thing this person is saying...

[Manolis090]

@demurebeppe yeah me too

[SiegmarHenne]

MEHR DAVON>>>>

Danke 

[skyblazer7]

OMG,the first 15 seconds had me squee-ing like a true fan boi. The live action movie is going to awesome. Loved the Black Tigers, the Earth ships, the comet, the comet dreadnought, the battles. We're about to experience a Star Blazers renaissance. :D

[mattmanganon]

where did the footage come from?

[8UP1977]

@mattmanganon From a Pachinko game.

[moo3992]

@mattmanganon OMG WTF????? ITS FOOTAGE FROM THE UPCOMING MOVIE! WHAT ELSE WOULD IT BE? FOOTAGE FROM AN ACTUAL SPACE BATTLE?

[mattmanganon]

@moo3992 no, the new film is live action, all of the shots of the crew in this film are animated, also, the live action film is based in the first series, this is obviously based during the attack from the White Comet Empire.

[moo3992]

@mattmanganon this is footage from the upcoming movie. someone else added the animation. there are live people in some of the other trailers. looks great though!...can't wait!

[mattmanganon]

@moo3992 this video shows the attack of the white comet empire, the new film is based during the Gamilus war. it cannot be footage from the new film, my best guess is that it came from one of the games

[sprite0nation]

lol at music

[RJF1966]

holy shit this looks good hehe

[THEEND123321]

@wispers187 your greasie grand dad chevie!! p/s just for fun!

[mpakos18473]

In space there is no sound, so the explosions can't be heared.

Also there is no gravity, so they can walk or eat/drink etc.

And many other mistakes.

I can ignore them in the old anime but not in this newer and in the film.

[jboweruk]

@mpakos18473 It's a thing they still do in Sci Fi though, there is a reason for it, if you were to watch a real space combat it would be incredibly boring. No laser light shows (remember light travels too fast to really see), and no sound. So a little artistic license is always thrown in such as sounds and laser lights.

[Dylan553]

@jboweruk wow way to ruin it with shit people already know da hello star wars

[jboweruk]

@Dylan553 Hey I was defending it....

[demurebeppe]

@jboweruk

Actually, if anyone were to use a laser based weapon in a space fight, they would need to keep the weapon constantly firing, while focused on the same point, long enough to heat up and damage the target. While there are very few if any particles in space, there are still enough to reflect the laser light back and make it visible somewhere along it's path. Even if fired a fraction of a second, a laser of a weaponized magnitude made to destroy space faring quality hulls will be visible.

[demurebeppe]

@jboweruk

Couldn't fit this on the previous post but in reply to the speed of light and sounds being a factor... Laser pointer and you would still be able to hear everything emanating from your own ship, even louder than normal since the sound can't escape the confines of the ship. And if you're thinking 3rd person point of view, there wouldn't be one like in shows since you wanted to talk about realism. In a battle that would probably be suicidal to spectate.

[galloway6204]

@jboweruk Thatas the point of Science FICTION :3

[sirh0213]

@jboweruk Yeah... but a WWII battleship hull slightly modified for space? I still never get the "guns on top and maybe a turret on the bottom" crap of some space ship sci-fi.

[Potrimpo]

@jboweruk Actually if they used plasma bolts like on Babylon 5, then the weapons can be seen. As well as from the anime series Iczer 1, the first robot that was fighting Iczer Robo didn't have visible lasers itself when explosions were seen around Iczer Robo.

Especially in regular gun battles, we see the muzzle flash, but not the bullet whizzing by.

But don't worry, I understand your point.

[JoinJohnWoodman]

THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME

[mexgangsta1]

Oh hell yeah..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a new cartoon? When i was in my early teens i used to watch to this all the time!!!! I used to run home from school to watch this!! I have the first collection on DVD (Quest for Iscandar) That was cool!!

[retluoc]

This was amazing! It's from a game, you say...damn! Now I gotta find this game! I just wish they'd do a remake of the original with these graphics. And now that US censorship isn't as strict, bring back the light violence and the deaths...

[dswynne]

As well as the nudity. ;)

[Rodanscontrails]

I am in Awe.

[chris10023465]

this video would go great with orion by metallica

[FunteX]

That little squeek barely hearable voice is a disgrace to the series.

But this remake of the series is gonna be great.

[yumeshimanet]

It was not a remake, just CG from a game...

There'll never be a sequel, due to copyright issues among matsumoto and nishizaki...

And yes, it took me a while to hear such a faint and unfit voice...

[FunteX]

Iwas not talking about a sequel,

but a remake.

The ones voting negativly,

get you prioritys traight cause you just failed. =)

[yumeshimanet]

Ops, pardon: I meant "remake"; the sequel was the 2009 movie and it seems it was nicely done...

[FunteX]

Allthough i ment the Live action movie that we will get now,

i for one can't wait. ^^'

[TS7019]

Oh SNAP! This looks great.

[playerpage]

Fer cool!
