Starblazers Yamato 3 - Japanese Opening

[Takeshi357]

I have to say that out of the three, I consider Yamato III to the best series. While I have respect towards the first series for starting it all, all the second series did was repeat so much of the first series they became clichés, and Yamato III enjoys the benefit if actually avoiding most of them. Earth not being under invasion! No one performs a stupid sacrifice!

[galloway62042009]

AARGH GOD DAMMIT WHY IS THAT SHIP JUST SO FRACKING SEXY?!

[dalelovelace1964]

who cares

[Lumotaku]

actually americans changed more than the name they redid the concept of the crew too instead of being about the ship the show is about the crew. It works very well and the theme song was drastically improved.

[videocrazier]

@Lumotaku Sorry, but the japanese song is much more expressive than the american version.

[galloway6205]

@Lumotaku Improved? heh

[Zerocal123]

In Brazil, the name of this serie was "Patrulha Estelar", somtehing like 'Star Patrol'.

I remember watching it, after school...

[wendelfranc]

@Zerocal123

He he , I too. "Patrulha Estelar" was the best cartoon in my infancy.

[j03cool]

AWESOME SHIP!!!

[45corleone]

Reading the lyrics gives more meaning to the song; and yes Yamato is the name of Japan of yore

[Gundamry]

there are actually real and good reasons for this "european look" to anime characters, especially in thier early days. one was a huge influence of western culture, Disney being one of them in fact. another is more rooted to the characters' eyes, bigger eyes equal things like more innocense and such, also it made animating expressions alot easier for fans to "feel" what the character is feeling. narrow eyes with small pupils often mean a character is evil (modern anime greys this area now).

[rx8wbm]

'Yamato' means 'Japan' in ancient japanese language.

[ComicBookShowGuy]

It's not censorship (that would be cutting people getting shot to death) that changed the name, but localization. "Yamato" has no resonance to Americans, "Argo" has some, being related to an epic voyage.

[anniesmyth]

Agreed. But there were still a lot of bad feelings towards Japan in this country in the 70's and 80's because of the war. And the Yamato *was* used to fight against American troops before it was sunk.

How would Japanese people feel if an American show about the Enola Gay was broadcast over there? It would go over like a lead balloon, just like Yamato here.

[Khultan]

Tell that to the remaining war world II veterans.

[mamakorekatte]

serch "ささきいさお 宇宙戦艦ヤマト"

[gourmetdragon]

Nice music! :D

[darkwhisper007]

Nice job.

However, why will the title be a cruiser?

[AquilaMagna]

From what I understand- uchuu senkan

Yamato- loosly translates as space cruiser Yamato, because the producer thought Cruiser sounded better than Battleship.

[darkwhisper007]

I see.

"Senkan" means a battleship in Japanese, but a cruiser seems to be preferable for a syllable.

[teleostomi]

I looked up dictionary,

cruiser means 巡洋艦

battleship means 戦艦

[yiman0501]

thank you your english translate

[iloveleeyoungae]

SUPPORT

[gfhjtrjh]

ネ申　由由

[royalpain88]

Why does everyone seem to confuse cruiser to battleship. COME ON! It's Space Battleship Yamato! Not Space Cruiser Yamato!

[lamnaa]

I think the chap who made it had a boat/yacht called a cruiser (not a real military one) and that is how he insisted it was translated.

But I might be wrong.

[MrGodzillafan13]

Technically due to american censorship it's Space Battleship Argo

[teleostomi]

Why? why? Is "Yamato" a bad word?

[Meyosan]

@royalpain88 When the series was produced, the producer instructed the english translation to be "Space Cruiser Yamato" because of his boat, despite the actual translation being "Space Battleship Yamato".

[yumeshimanet]

@royalpain88 Nishizaki, its creator along with Matsumoto, asked for it to be translated that way, in love of his personal boat that he considered a cruiser.

[sighsgkj]

@royalpain88

Cause nowadays frigates have mroe tonnage than cruisers in the past LOL

[animeultrafan]

Yay, I love Yamato. I have season 1 an 2, but where can I get 3?

[DropsOfIndigo]

The Star Blazers website has the english DVDs or you can look on here and find some.

[guyver778]

now that i think of it, again, okita sat in the chair in final yamato, and wound up dying again

[guyver778]

Everyone whoever sat in the captain's chair in the show died. Okita(Avatar) was the first, the captain yamanami( from be forever yamato) died next, maybe it was out of superstion

[dwayne0t]

I want to nail the girl singing backup

[eshaw2115]

I never understood why Kodai(Wildstar) never sat in Captains chair when the original captain died.

[richintalent]

probably out of respect

[BobbyDamiano]

He did but only in a few episodes of the Bolar Wars. He also did with Nova in the final episode of the Comet Empire Season.

[gigadred]

yamato 3,,es una nueva serie o una nueva animacion del original..??

[schnellbomber87]

Se trata de un original, realizado por Leiji Matsumoto. Y sé que mi español no es tan buena.

[Gigastorm24]

One of the best anime series ever made. A true classic.

[mrbird00]

This anime is called "Space battleship YAMATO" originally created by Reiji Matsumoto, a Japanese animator. Yamato was taken from a real battleship that existed and built in WWII to fight with America. No wonder why American changed the original title to the weird name, "Starblazers".

[royalpain88]

Who do people think its Reiji Matsumoto? It's Leiji Matsumoto!

[Hesuku]

royalpain88, Romanized Japanese spellings do not use the letter "L," although the sound is actually like "L" than "R."

[Gigastorm24]

L and R are the same in Japanese. IOt can be written as either one.

[Hesuku]

Every nation does that, not just USA. "Yamato" wasn't even imported to much of Asia sooner. No natinal wants any particular perspective or sentiment of other nationals. History books must exist as many as the number of nations or tribes. The whole facts must be revealed and reminded regarding history.

[galloway62042009]

@mrbird00 #Leiji Matsumoto and Actually the Main Creator of this is "Yoshinobu Nishazaki" Matsumoto Just sorta put his Ingredients into the show Which Is Probably where it got its imagination and Originality.

Also Matsumoto is More Famous... and Alive

[TokyoXtreme]

Someone better tell the vocalist that Iscandar EXPLODED last year, and that he needs to update the lyrics.

[gikcp34]

I don't know why someone is saying the italy langauge is the best in song, I think also japanese is really good for songs

[herusardo]

the japanese lyrics are a lot more joyous and filled with hope.

[herusardo]

Xuxa presented the clidren's show where Yamato was aired.

[giroppon]

awful sub...

[redshirt71]

I LOOOOOVED Star Blazers as a kid...Glad to finally hear the original Japanese language opening. Thanks for sharing!

[djupsjo]

Yamato! vakert!

[talonfear]

In the second world war americans kicked this ship to the deep of pacific. But In the future it come back to save de humanity...

[AlexClarke01]

When I finally got to see Bolar Wars, I was extremely disappointed. It just didn't measure up to the first two story arcs in my opinion.

They should've quit at Comet Empire.

[bubbalufagus]

I couldn't agree with your more. There's a reason why they called these "The Lost Episodes".  They should have been lost and never found. They sucked!!

[bubbalufagus]

I couldn't agree with you more!!! There's a reason why these were called "The Lost Episodes". They should have been lost and never found!!! I'm also sick of the anchor on the side of the Yamato. What is the purpose of that??? This series sucked!!!

[Lumotaku]

wow you are a retard the thing docked in the water remember???? The american starblazers opening was way better the song made more sense.

[bubbalufagus]

Wow!!! Ain't nothing like talking to a genius like you. Eventhough, there was not one scene during that series when the Yamato was docked in the water, I just think that it didn't make sense to put that stupid anchor on the Yamato. The other 2 series, I could understand because they showed the Yamato in the water. Yet, there was no stupid anchor on the Yamato. The bottom line is that this series sucked!!! Nevermind the stupid anchor you dope!!!

[Lumotaku]

None of the series sucked and the anchor ruled so eat my man seethage you little shit. thank you.

[dufhatura]

Alguém por favor coloque legenda em português !

[Anakatsu]

What's great, is that this ship is in Star Trek: TNG It's just... so awesome.

[Kaiwynn]

This ship is in TNG?

Where? When?

[zuki1899]

the enterprise-d sister ship is named yamato. it was destroyed, i forget how exactly.

[ianwestc]

The sister ship is named the Yamato (destroyed when an advanced virus caused enough computer malfunctions that the ship breached its own warp core), but Star Trek: TNG producers have responded that it was not named after Space Battleship Yamato, sadly..

[zuki1899]

maybe it was named after the real yamato. something look up in wikipedia or a star trek encylopedia.

[007InMiami]

I'm sure It was named after the WWII japanese battleship Yamato that was sunked by the allies. The Yamato in the cartoon is supposed to be the real battleship who's remains are found by the Star Blazers kids and turned into the spaceship you see in the cartoon. Im sure Star Trek named it after the WWII ship, as Star Trek has always named its vessels after naval ships of many countries, not just US.

[jackspratt409]

actually, the insistence on "Space Cruiser Yamato" instead of the accurate Space Battleship is because Nishizaki is a devoted sailing afficionado and wanted his personal yacht included in the title. If I am lying about this, I am dying. Check it out.

[tsuyoshi15]

space cruiser? who translated this? everyone who knows how to read or understand japanese knows that it's "SPACE BATLESHIP YAMATO" not "SPACE CRUISER YAMATO".

[BobbyDamiano]

The third season was in syndication to limited cities in the US in 1985. That's why on DVD and VHS they use the 2nd Season opening and ending for this.

[kokujin1014]

The second season opening is seen only on the VHS format or aired on TV,my friend. On the DVD version,the original Yamato 3 opening and closing is used.Trust me.

[veterano1976]

This opening was passed here in Brazil in 1984, just like this one (original japanese version). Good times...

**

Essa abertura passou aqui no Brasil na versão original em japonês. Isso ocorreu nas tardes de 1984, na extinta TV Manchete, no programa Clube da Criança, quando a Xuxa ainda estreava como apresentadora de tv. Lembro- me bem do fundo vermelho da galáxia, e do grande Sol vermelho. Aquilo marcou a minha memória daqueles tempos de criança. Adorei rever a abertura novamente!

[SailorBarsoom]

In the part not written in English (I'm assuming Portuguese) I see Xuxa's name. I'm kind of a fan. What has she to do with Yamato?

[ultramenace]

The Yamato theme is somewhat an anthem in Japan. It doesn't change

[pjamese3]

In the 3rd season, they went back to Iscandar again.

[harlockmbb]

No. They went back in telemovie Yamato - The New Voyage. Maybe in old animes was not common change themes. In Gundam Seed, for comparison, the theme changes 4 times in 50 episodes (demarcating each phase of history).

[Cyberium]

Besides, what theme song could match the original one?

[Brooschlee]

Why does it have the Iscandar theme if it's the 3rd season's opening?
