This kinda chocked me up. We were talking about our shows when we were kids. I was the only one who watched this, cuase im old now!! The next oldest could only go back as far as pac man cartoon. Sigh....
Couldn't even remember the name of this cartoon 'till a colleague mentioned it by mistake a couple days ago. It's a good thing he did. I'd still be trying to remember!!
what a hoot...I used to stay at the house until the end of the show and JUUUST catch the bus to school in time. Those were the carefree days...won an art contest out of NHFOX23TV with a sketch I did of the Yamato when I was like 7 or 8...man, I wish I got that picture back.
my Grandma bought me the whole first season when i Was about 7 and since then I have been trying to find all of the episodes past that. Is it wrong that I can sing along with this and I was born in '96 god I'm in a family of nerds, lol
I picked up the DVDs a short time ago. If you loved it as a kid, you'll probably enjoy it again. Even the bonus material was interesting. The guy who was the voice of Desslok used a sort of Boris Karloff impersonation according to his interview. :-) Go for the series and not the movies though...I didn't see the movies until years later and was disappointed in those.
I haven't seen this show for over 25 years....I need to find a copy of the first series and see if I still like it. Something tells me I will love it. Shoot, I probably sound old now, but I'm only in my mid-30s...
God I remember watching this as a kid in the 80s and being absolutely awe struck at the spaceships. Retrospectively they where a bit silly (basically flying boats) but at the time my mind was blown as hell. Probably only G-Force's phoenix fired my young imagination up as much. Now damn it I'm getting old :(
@poothewinnie I thought the Yamato was the coolest ship ever. <<<=== This is because you were NOT in the US NAVY in WW2.. The Yamato was a REAL JAPANESE BATTLE SHIP..
@DarthDemaric Star Blazers always manage to make me feel better. The 70ies style, animation, music and story and the ship itself, it's impossible not to like :)
I can't belive! Well I'm 36 now and even the italian version used this amazing intro...really cool version!!!!!....thanks for posting:-)...I'm cryng too!!!!
Omg, I feel so old but at the same time this cartoon was ahead of it's time and I'm happy that I was around when this came on tv. Rushing home to watch this, Gi Joe, Transformers and Voltron lol. Feels good to hear that theme song. I'm 39 yrs old and it made me feel like a kid...wow.
We didn't know we were all united around the Star Blazers during our childhood. Who does not give a smile after watching this intro? Come on man, we were all fighters in space. Greetings from Brazil!
Kinda ironic I think....I can remember watching this as a young kid. Always wondered why I liked battleships....funny how cartoon called Starblazers, which is actually a remake of a Japanese cartoon called Space Battelship Yamato could get me so interested in the Iowa class and many other battleships. Ya just never know...thanks for posting that!
This show is like the prototype to mobile suit gundam. the alien uniforms are zeon uniforms, the ships are zeon green battleships and the main ship is a salamis class space battleship...
i love this seris and im a yungon yeah ima freakin teenagager and i think after watching the seris like twenty times theey should reanimate it keep all the old audio and the same thing frame for frame just animate with todays tools we could see a starblazers rebirth!
gilligan, brady bunch, bugs, tom and jerry, happy days, horror movies, good times, reruns after reruns after reruns and I forgot all about this one. The path to remembering started with seeing an episode of Batman with Julie Newmar. She was in an episode of Jason of Star Command, so I started thinking back to sci fi stuff from the 70's and so on
God--for some reason this theme song popped into my head today so I had to look it up. Wow--I don't even remember if it was a good show but I watched the hell out of it. Man, I'm getting old!!
Why di the american version change the name? It should have been Yamato. There's a meaning behind the name Yamato. Why give it a lame name like Star Blazers?
@ethelion2317 Yamato was the name of a Japanese battleship that served during WWII that's probably why ,it was also the name of an ancient japanes province for wich the ship was named after...
WOW! We were just talking about this on Facebook. One of the best cartoons from back in the day. These kids today don't know what they've missed. Thanks for posting!
were off to outer space.were leaving mother earth. to save the human race.our starblazers.searhing for a distant star heading off to iscandar.leaving all we left behind who knows what dangers will find?we must be strong and brave.
Can't wait!!! They must be priming everyone for the new American live adaptation. Still hoping to see the Japanese version, if we ever get a chance...
There was no such serious amime before in Japan. I just could not wait for the next episode. The first broadcast was a failure because it was too mature for japanese kids at the time. But the first repeat was phenomenal. The anime boom started then. I did not know this was broadcasted and so popular in other countries until today. This is the most beloved amimes in Japan. Truly awesome.
Moves just curious, do you know about space battleship Yamato? Because I've watched the original series and movies on YouTube and statblazers. Igotta admit, Starblazers cuts slot of stuff out,,
My favorite all time cartoon growing up. Just managed to get all 3 series, thats 17 dvd's (1800 mins) worth for $90AUD. Absolutly freaken stoked! Will be watching it w/ my kids.
@1drkangel Hey totally agree we all split for home when this came on! (shows are age!) hey have you seen the Live Action Movie that came out in 2010? It ONLY came out in japan.....wish it came out here!
yep without starblazers (space battleship yamato) there would be no anime in america today, space battleship yamato is the greatest anime ever created, and i pray the movie that just came out (that is apparantly really really good) comes over here, but leave the ships name yamato, and not the argo, screw nostalgia, that ship's proper name is YAMATO, but you can rename the movie to starblazers
I remember religiously watching this on the ABC in Australia during the 80's when I was about 8 years old for God knows how long and I bloody well waited until there was three days to go in the story line and the bastard ABC TV station started it again at 365 days...BASTARDS!!!!!!!! what ever happened ...BASTARDS!!!! Now I have more issues than Time Magazine...BASTARDS!!!!
@jackmasterdick agreed indeed. i have all three series on oldsKool VHS..i actually have a room in my basement that has nothing in it but Starwars, Starblazers, and Superfriends shit in it. DESLOK DESLOK DESLOK!!!!!!
@FREDDO239170 i know what happened. they ran into darth vader who shoved a bunch of bubble gum in the argo's wave motion gun..and when they fired it at the deathstar, it only blew out a huge bubble, so they had to rename it the wave motion gum. **corny joke of the month**
I saw this at my ANime Club and I meet the Voice actress for Nova. Seroiusly I meet her. Shes not older than when she did the series but yes I did meet her
Check out the youtube video Zu0FMaEneO0 at 0:13 through 0:16 and compare it to this Star Blazers video from 0:37 though 0:40 and tell me Ron Moore wasn't inspired by Star Blazers/Yamato.
@lancetexas999 LOL...Ya, I know what you mean. I'm 42 and after watching this on TV the other day, I thought I'd rev up the old time machine and take a sentimental journey back and so here I am. Wow, I must have been in 4th or 5th grade when this was hip.
@lancetexas999 It does seem like yesterday I was rushing home from school to catch Star Blazers while and eat captain crunch out of a the largest bowl I could find....memories...la la la la and diabetes...la la la la
Although Robotech(Macross) will always be my favorite space war soap opera, I will acknowledge that Starblazers is the original and without it, Robotech(Macross) wouldn't be what it is.
Wave Motion Gun. I have one thing to bring back Star Blazers on Saturday Morning. I think kid these would just love Star Blazers Are you Listening Cartoon Network
It was like a soap opera and you had to watch every episode. At the end, they would show a map and how long they have left to save Earth. This was after Star Wars came on the scene along with Battle of the Planets, Space:1999, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rodgers. Flash Gordon doesn't count.
OH EM GEE!!!!! i did a search for this purely on a lark and freaked when results for star blazers actually showed up! i used to watch this show as a kid every morning at 6:30 a.m. in chicago on channel 9 before getting dressed for shcool! star blazers brings back some wonderful memories of happier times. thanks to you oggmonster and you tube for allowing me such a sweet trip down memory lane!
@erdavis7@erdavis7 I have to disagree on the theme. Listen to the Japanese theme. It focused more on the ship itself than the crew and the mission. The American theme is much improved in that it focuses on the mission to save Earth and the crewmembers' sacrifice.
Of coure, that's a difference in viewpoint between Americans and Japanese in the '70s.
@pjamese3 Oh yeah in that respect you're right. I just like the sound of the Japanese singers better. Probably because it was the first version I heard and I was like "WOAH THIS IS SO COOL!"
Man I use to rush home as a kid and sit to see if they would ever make it?! OK PLEASE ANYONE are they making a movie been looking on the Internet seen lots of things but I can't really find it a movie is being made, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. IF YOU WANT A MOVIE CLICK LIKE!!! This would be sooo cool!
Goosebumps. If you grew up with this show, the music stuck with you forever. Not just the Star Force's theme, but Desslok's theme, Starsha's theme, the Comet Empire's theme, the battle theme, the trippy music they played during warps, etc. Nobody will pay for a full orchestra to compose and perform cartoon music anymore. This show ruined me for anything that came afterward.
Liked it as a kid. But then I realized that Japanese animation is terrible. And the scripts are pretty bad even for a kids cartoon. Nostalgia can't save this one.
@KristaMachine It totally does. I'm fortunate to have the first 2 seasons on DVD and if anything, you may appreciate it more as an adult, for exactly the reasons bigblue1986 listed below. I recognized the tone of the cartoon as a kid and it really struck a nerve, because it was a cartoon that didn't talk down to kids and addressed some heavy issues in a straightforward manner. If you watch it as an adult, you really have respect for the way the creators did this and still made an exciting show.
I grew up with this show, getting home from school to see it. It was a great demonstration of sacrifice, honor, bravery, sadness, emotional nothing like any other show of it's type at the time. I had and may still have a fleet of lego ships that mimic the Argo, Andromeda, Gammalon ships, Comet Empire...etc.
We're off to outer space We're leaving Mother Earth To save the human race Our Star Blazers Searching for a distant star Heading off to Iscandar Leaving all we love behind Who knows what danger we'll find? We must be strong and brave Our home we've got to save If we don't in just one year Mother Earth will disappear Fighting with the Gamilons We won't stop until we've won Then we'll return and when we arrive The Earth will survive With our Star Blazers
@delbard1 mhhh...honestly I sing this song sometimes when I facing a danger or a trouble...even a simple bloodgivin' or a night trip on a city bus plenty of drunken bad people...another one is Imperial march (dart vader theme)...bye.
I used to wake up early to watch this before school. This was in 1980.

Check out the youtube video Zu0FMaEneO0 at 0:13 through 0:16 and compare it to this Star Blazers video from 0:37 though 0:40 and tell me Ron Moore wasn't inspired by Star Blazers/Yamato.

Although Robotech(Macross) will always be my favorite space war soap opera, I will acknowledge that Starblazers is the original and without it, Robotech(Macross) wouldn't be what it is.

Old school anime before the wapanese ruined it for everyone.
Back in the days when you'd see kanji and say "what the hell is that?!" and actually believed they were getting drunk off of "spring water"

It was like a soap opera and you had to watch every episode. At the end, they would show a map and how long they have left to save Earth. This was after Star Wars came on the scene along with Battle of the Planets, Space:1999, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rodgers. Flash Gordon doesn't count.

this version sounds kinda like a sea shanty, the japanese on is more like a military hymn or something similar.

@milkkart The tone is relatively similar, it actually starts "Farewell to the Earth, from the Ship who leaves on it's mission"

erdavis7 1 year ago
@erdavis7 @erdavis7 I have to disagree on the theme. Listen to the Japanese theme. It focused more on the ship itself than the crew and the mission. The American theme is much improved in that it focuses on the mission to save Earth and the crewmembers' sacrifice.
Of coure, that's a difference in viewpoint between Americans and Japanese in the '70s.
pjamese3 1 year ago
@pjamese3 Oh yeah in that respect you're right. I just like the sound of the Japanese singers better. Probably because it was the first version I heard and I was like "WOAH THIS IS SO COOL!"

The English version actually has a wider range of voice if you compare the two.

Goosebumps. If you grew up with this show, the music stuck with you forever. Not just the Star Force's theme, but Desslok's theme, Starsha's theme, the Comet Empire's theme, the battle theme, the trippy music they played during warps, etc. Nobody will pay for a full orchestra to compose and perform cartoon music anymore. This show ruined me for anything that came afterward.

★Star Wars made in 1977 copyed the story from The Hidden Fortress made in 1958 Japan.
★And Star Wars copyed scenes from the Star Blazers(＝Space Battleship Yamato) made in 1974 Japan.

Liked it as a kid. But then I realized that Japanese animation is terrible. And the scripts are pretty bad even for a kids cartoon. Nostalgia can't save this one.

The name of the ship is Yamato. And the Japanese are the Yamato race. The Yamato is words to express Japan itself.

@KristaMachine It totally does. I'm fortunate to have the first 2 seasons on DVD and if anything, you may appreciate it more as an adult, for exactly the reasons bigblue1986 listed below. I recognized the tone of the cartoon as a kid and it really struck a nerve, because it was a cartoon that didn't talk down to kids and addressed some heavy issues in a straightforward manner. If you watch it as an adult, you really have respect for the way the creators did this and still made an exciting show.

I grew up with this show, getting home from school to see it. It was a great demonstration of sacrifice, honor, bravery, sadness, emotional nothing like any other show of it's type at the time. I had and may still have a fleet of lego ships that mimic the Argo, Andromeda, Gammalon ships, Comet Empire...etc.
