(L+CR) Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (movie & TV)

[Ithekro]

Not so sure. Have to see what happen on the last leg of the trip to Iscandar.

Spoiler for Answer?:

So far Yurisha has been there to explain what was previously unexplainable. Things like, how was Yamato built so fast? How did they build a wave motion engine in just a few days? How did they get out of a trap set by the Gamilas were there was only one way to go? In that one the explaination was Starsha has took over their astro-navigaton system and pointed them the right way. Also to add to the rumors that Yuki could be an Iscandarian.

Adding Yurisha gives the Earth a year to build a wave motion engine into what was the Izumo Plan's escape ship design. Addig Yurisha makes her the navigation system. So when things go wonky, she's doing it. And since she's around, there can be rumors that Yuki is Yurisha until it finally comes out that Yurisha is onboard as well as Yuki Mori.

I have no idea what she does after waking up in her own body. While in Yuria's body she was there to give answers to questions that no human would have the answers.

Spoiler for What in the Yurisha?:

She's doing the same.

I only noticed a line of dialogue in episode 17, while translating it to portuguese, that plugs another hole in the original, i.e. "How did they build those underground cities so fast?".

Spoiler for Underground Cities:

"The rumor is they've upgraded Inner Planet
War shelters, and everyone's evacuated."

Well done Mr. Izubuchi, very well done. It doesn't totally make up for that "10 month before" sign, which pretty much fracks the whole established timeline but still...

[Traece]

Even though it was, my second? This is a freebie for anyone who wants a Yamato signature.

So the impression I'm getting from some very hesitant reading is that this remake hasn't done too much in the way of completely annihilating the source material. As someone who hasn't actually seen the original series, is it even worth it to go back and watch the original or does this pretty much cover it?

Quite the contrary, this respects the original in many ways. They did away with some of the sillier stuff and the rest was expanded with materials Either cut from the original, when the show went from having a 52 episode order to only 26, or from other sources Like the many manga versions of the original. In the end, though the story sice chapter 3 has taken a massive detour from the original, keeping only some of the most important plot points, it is changed for the better.I would watch the original just to understand all Those differences but it is by no means necessary. Us, older fans, who saw the original back when it came out, love it inspite of its huge flaws. I fear that anyone watching it just for comparison's sake won't feel the same.

Someone has already put the just released second soundtrack album to use in rescoring the first Girls und Panzer episode on NicoNico:

So she'll stay an underdeveloped charlike Akira, after all . Oh well was kinda to be expected since she wasn't in the original series :/

On another note:

Spoiler for Q:

Sanada made it sound like there was a reason why Yuki looks like Starsha, Sasha and Yurisha. From what I remember it was a pure coincident though.
Has this reason Sanada didn't get to tell us due to the plot convenient robot been revealed?

[Ithekro]

I still don't know the detail bits (which usually is the character development parts) in episodes 19-22, so it is entirely possible for her character to be expanded on. Though I have no illusions of them adding yet another love interest to the story. Yet that is a possible path.

There is always the chance that Yurisha could replace Be Forever, Yamato's Sasha, but if the story is heading the way I think it might, I doubt it.

Spoiler for Be Forever, Yamato, the orignal series ending and 2199's ending.:

Sasha in that film was Starsha's and Mamoru's daughter half-Human and half-Iscandarian. She was said to have grown up to at least teenager looking age within a year's time due to her being from Iscandar. They gave her a cover story of being Sanada's niece, even though it was mentioned in the original that his sister had died in a amusment park crash that also took his arms and legs. (this event has not been mentioned in Yamato 2199, and as far as we know, Sanada has normal arms and legs).

At the end of the Original Series, the Gamilas attack as Yamato reaches Earth. During an, unscheduled, boarding action they release a deadly gas that starts killing the crew. Yuki goes to the recently finished Cosmo Reverse system and turns it on as the gas reaches her. The Iscandarian device nuetralizes the gas and causes the Gamilas to retreat. But Yuki is dead.

A little while later, when Yamato is on its last approach to Earth, Okita died in his bed having seen the Earth again. At that same time, for unknown reasons, Yuki comes back to life.

The speculation is, that since they have two women that look like Yuki on the ship, there is a chance that Yurisha might head to Earth with Yamato. Perhaps to be sure the Cosmo Reverse system is built properly. If events happen in a similar way, it could be Yurisha who gives her life at the end to save the ship. Or to save Yuki. Or they become one person so both might live.

The other option is that she stays on Iscandar, and when Yamato finally returns in "A New Voyage", she goes with them at that point.

EDIT:

And something interesting. Did you know the original theme song for Space Battleship Yamato had four verses? We usually only hear one or two. I've never heard the third or fourth verses before. But that changes.

Well the triangles are highly overused, so I definitely don't mind that no new one is created.
On the other hand its kinda sad that they dismissed the first one so soon again after having even bothered

-creating her character in the first place
-changing her brother's name so she could be Akira Yamamoto (which was originally her brother)
- giving her a background story

I too doubt she will replace Be Forever's Sasha btw, we already got hints for the opposite.

Spoiler for Endings:

I wouldn't mind if they came up with something entirely new for a possibly second and thrid season.
I would also like starsha to abandon her empty planet and move on, but it will most likely not happen .

I'm actually afraid they will go for farewell Yamato's ending similar to what the 2010 movie did...

Edit:
tbH I THINK I even heard the japanese intro for the first time; as Japan used to give the licenses for intro/outro separately from the main story.
I also think they just translated the english version into german back then. As said I'm not sure though its been a while ssince I last saw the original work...

Or I saw it in english on cartoon network no idea anymore ><

[Ithekro]

Usually one would only hear the first verse as the opening for the show. For all its seasons, despite them not heading to Iscandar in later seasons.

In concerts sometimes the second verse would be sung as well as the first. Reportedly this version is a sound-a-like singing the third and fourth verses, but they are the correct lyrics. A very good sound-a-like. As far as I know there are no official recording of those verses on any album or single. But the lyrics were released over 30 years ago for all four verses.

I thought that the third and fourth verses sounded off.

Episode 20 Preview:

Spoiler for E20 PV:

and the finale of episode 19. If you see this sequence and your heart isn't pumping like a maniac, see a doctor...you're probably dead.

Spoiler for E19 finale:

[Ithekro]

The fighters launching looks like footage from episode 5 just with a different background and a few different transition cuts.

That's not a bad thing since they've not launched fighters all that much, and it saves time. Also it was well done the first time.

Still confirmation on how they land those things.

[macdawson]

Nothing on how they land the Falcons but judging on how Kodai launches his Zero (the catapult on is side was desteoyed só he improvises, just a wicked cool launch) to chase after the UX-01, i'm guessing that the opposit might old for the Zero's retrieval. My theory on the Falcons is that they are collected by the starboard side dock and craned back to the hangar. There's what seems to be an access door on the rear wall só, maybe. Hopefully, either they still show it or at least the Earth art book will have some material on that.

[Ithekro]

Perhaps the only real fault in the Gamilas plan is that they didn't all attack together. And that might have been a calculated risk. Especially considering what Yamato has done to other Gamilas fleets so far in the show.

Escorts would have been nice, but I suppose none were avalible.

Spoiler for Gimleh:

Or the head of the Imperial Guard is a prick and attempting to take over all space forces now that the fleet is more or less away from the center of the empire. He probably could have detached at least of few destroyers to escort the old carriers. Might have saved at least one of them and given Dommel some extra firepower towards the end.
