Damn...was it really a doomed mission? No fuel for a return trip?

[Piedone]

Yeah, this clip is showing a very real episode of history, despite that it is a cartoon - therefor sometimes not very accurate, but nice anyway.

[Sammyoak]

this was made before her wreck was found and just like the British thought the Titanic sank in one peace the Japanese thought the Yamato sank in one peace.

[Piedone]

Yeah, of course the clip is historycally not precise. But it's great anyway - especially for someone who likes WW II. history :-).

あれが戦艦大和だ。日本の男の艦だ。

This is one of the most important scene in Space Battleship Yamato. Without this, it is going to be Starblazers... I am for omitting it in the US version. Starblazers was "just" a Starblazers, not enough the name of Yamato. "Yamato" should not be easy to be used. Because its name is "the soul of Japan" so to speak.

I heard Hollywood wants to make Starblazers live action. I hope they don't disgrace the Yamato.

i wonder, why did they cut it out?

the US Navy was so afraid of one ship that they sended all planes they got on it.

Yamato took neer to 20 air bombs and torpedos, not counting plane-based rockets, and sunk becouse of floding.

a most simbolic "Kamikaze" mission (or Kammakkazi for US sailors).

All Hail to the ones who lost their lives on the seas, skies and lands of WWII!

Thank you.

This is actually a clip from the Space Battleship Yamato animated movie! There are also scenes in the one of the movies about the Arizona being converted into a space cruiser as well! Great clip though.............

I got all 5 videos of the Yamato movies in a package in 2000 (didn't have them on dvd at the time) and saw this. Really great backdrop. As for the distance to the Megelanic cloud (i.e. Iscandar and Gammilon or as the Japanese called it: Gammilus). The opening of the Star Blazers tv show said it was "148,000 light years and back" or a 296,000 light year round trip.

they have some on netflix.

Honor to the Fallen!....

"Uchuu Senkan Yamato"

[Qusza2007]

Today when we known how Yamato wreck look in reality such conversion to spaceship is simply impossible because Yamato was tear apart by explosion of ammo chambers.

Entire Ten Go operation was a call of desperation because many Japan Navy officers known that this mission have very small chance of success BUT Crew of Yamato deserve respect for thier bravery.

They show something what was lacking on the other side of front line and i mean Honor.

May they Rest in Peace.

They were heading for a planet in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which begins about 157,000 light years from Earth.
