I will never understand why someone decided to make a spacecraft out of a WWII battle ship. but I know how it happened. One collage student looked to the frat pledgeie and said, "Make this fly. IN SPACE!"
@ErikRuggeri I prefer music done in it's original language. Partially because the translations won't rhyme unless the song is reworked around the original intent, though that has a way of completely changing the song. The English version of Starblazer's OP had.. well very cliche lyrics and I think the meaning of the original Japanese lyrics were deeper.
Imagine if this theme was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Navy during its glory days... As much as I like Gunkan March, Uchuu Senkan Yamato has a much better "martial" melody in it.
AWESOME TRIBUTE!!!!! Anime at its best!!! I'm first generation anime, such as this, Speed Racer, Kimba, Gigantor and Battle of the Planets. Great stuff. Late.
I may only be 15....and i just happend to come across this anime by acident...AND IM GLAD I DID! THIS ANIME WAS GREAT THE NEW ANIMES SEEM LIKE SHIT! I WISH THEY WOULD PUT IT ON TV THAT WOULD REALY MAKE MY DAD HAPPY!
Yamato would blow a nice big hole through the deathstar with the wavemotion gun and use left over parts of darth vader for cosmetic touches for iq9 and third bridge...
@Barricade that'd be a good match actually, the white comet / comet empire vs the deathstar vs starblazers. It'd be like Jason Voorhees vs Michael Meyers vs Freedy Kruger. I'll put my money on derek wildstar.
@Barricade Yah, biut that's not hard at all. The Eclipse class Super Star Destroyer's eclipse 1 and 2 are much more destructive then the death star. Then there is the Sun Crusher which could obliterate entire star systems in a singe shot, the Galaxy Gun which fired anti matter misses through hyperspace to any other point in the galaxy... The list goes on.
Gods and Devils don't screw with the Yamato without getting fucked up. Just watch the new movie.
Hell they blew up the original Enterprise in ST2 as a tribute to how the Yamato died in Final Yamato. And then the Yamato beat that in they rebuilt the remains of the hull and took it out to fight again!
No seas ingnorante, Space Battleship Yamato es predecesor de Macross, no de esa cosa que dices que ni siquiera existe, me parece increible que a estas alturas del partido todavia exista gente que no sabe que onda entre Macross y el fraude que es Robotech, investiga ;)
I'd like to see the Yamato fight side by side with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Defiant. Kodai and Sisko would kick the villain's butt!

Japan should change their national anthem, "Kimigayo" to "Uchuu Senkan Yamato".

You damn well know that if the Japanese ever get a warship in space, it's gonna be named the Yamato. And it's gonna make the Death Star look wimpy.

You are right in the yamato 83 the old captain is already dead.. he appears here so it is the 70's Yamato.. probably 76.

The original Japanese Version of the theme is so much more powerful sounding. Expect nothing less from the legendary Isao Sasaki.
