Space Battleship Yamato 2202

Has anyone dug into this to know if the Trek III plot was lifted or the similarity is just a coincidence? I've always wondered about it...

Regardless, I think both stories are very effective in tugging at the heartstrings.

nothing that Starfleet has could stand up to a direct hit from Andromeda's twin WMG's.

WMGs are so powerful I'd even guess they could do some serious damage to V'Ger.

After watching Chapter 4 SBY 2202 really starts to pick up.

The ending credits make it seem like Dessler is the coolest person in the galaxy.

 

[Wyldmaxx]

He certainly has lofty goals than what Dessler had in Yamato2(OS).

The ending credits make it seem like Dessler is the coolest person in the galaxy.

He probably likes to think so.

Maybe you checked already when you were there but the big electronic stores usually have toy sections where you can find some good Yamato stuff.

I went to a shopping district that was primarily electronic stores. I forgot the name of it, but they had a bar there with women dressed like French maids. That area is where I found the Cosmo Tiger. I'm going back to Japan next year so hopefully I will find something interesting.

A Cosmo Tiger? Full size or scale model?

It appears that Yamato 2202 (aka Star Blazers 2202) will be coming to Funimation and Crunchyroll this spring (well as much as it can, since as of today there are only 14 episodes out of 26 released). Funimation with an English dub while Chrunchyroll will have just English subtitles.

Cool! Nice to know!

 

[137th Gebirg]

Honestly, I prefer subtitles. The dubbing may be better than average, but even if one doesn't understand Japanese, you can still get more of the emotional quality in the native performance than when it's overdubbed, IMO.

This brings up an interesting question then - if officially licensed subtitling is going to be done for CrunchyRoll, does that mean DVD and BRD releases will be made available with the same? Streaming is good for convenience when broadband is available, but I prefer cold hard plastic on my shelf.

 

[Ithekro]

If they do a North American (or wherever) DVD or BR release it will probably have subtitles. But the Japanese discs still will not. I expect the Chapter Seven to come out around January of 2019.

1) Yay, seeing as 2199 is getting to the end run so i need something for my weekly space anime watching

2) What about the movies?

 

[Ithekro]

Not heard anything about the movies as of yet.

 

[Ithekro]

Funimation will start selling their DVDs of Space Batttleship Yamato/Star Blazers 2199 at the end of July. Yamato 2202 won't finish airing until around January, so I don't expect to see those DVDs until sometime next year.

The DVDs have both English and Japanese dubs. and English subtitles.

 

[TrekMD]

Great, thanks for letting us know.

 

[137th Gebirg]

WHOOT! BRD's too!

 

[Starscream2112]

^^The pre-order page says "Blu-Ray/DVD"

Hopefully it will be available on iTunes around the same time.
