As far as I can tell Yamato 2199 has not been licensed in the United States, or anywhere outside Japan. Probably because of the way it is currently distributed and the slow pacing of the series release. At the current expected rate, the series won't end until Fall of 2013 after 26 episodes (7 theatrical releases followed by BD releases). Either around that time, the summer before, or afterwards, the series is expected to be shown on TV (which is when the majority ofthe English language anime bloggers might pick it up, if they don't think it is old news or something).
Thank you Ithekro.
I appreciate the clarification.
If this show turns out to be as good as the original, I will certainly purchase the DVD set (not fond of blue ray myself).
Let's hope the show lives up to its reputation, so far it has IMHO, but I'm still going to wait and see.
