Wow, that's some serious classic Japanese singing there. And I'm all sorts of Yamato win in that preview.
Some old nostalgic material from original Yamato coming back. More KodaixYuki. Character focus for Analyzer? I can't help but chuckle at that.. I couldn't help but laugh a little at Kodai's echoing "WE'LL COME BACK HOME!" for some reason. And some HAWT Yamamoto fanservice. *drools* ...........oh right, some Yamamoto character focus too.

Hmmmm. So many things.
Spoiler for Episode preview stuff:
The Gamilas warpout is different from the Earth warpout. Aside from the red in it, there is also that spiral effect. I'm not sure if all the scenes are finished. The scene with the Type 100 recon craft seems uncomplete somehow. Though maybe that is because I am trying to place where on the ship that is and why there is so much curve to the hull openning. It does look like Yamato will get into a proper fight with the Gamilas fleet. No telling how or where though. Of course this is basically a minute and a half out of 100 minutes of episodes. They have a lot of room to shift things around.

The hangar is seen on episode 6 but from the inside with no hint as to where on the ship it is. Here, we can finaly see the hangar open and its location. That's what i meant.
You might be right about the holography room since that looks like a room like the ones shown on Earth in episodes 1 and 2 (though i doubt it would rain in the underground cities). I doubt that they would shift the focus of episode 7 from the goodbyes to Earth to capturing an enemy pilot... but then, this show has thrown a couple curve ball so far so i guess anything is possible.

After what has transpired in the first six episodes, I don't think it's a stretch; the synopsis already states that while the crew is saying their goodbyes, there is a non-human among the crew — that's exactly what this is (it has to be, to fit into the next four story synopses).

Well there is also Episode ten where they are trapped with that other Gamilas ship. That pilot could be from their.
Though if the fighter or whatever craft is not a Gamilas ship the Humans have seen, they might not learn until late she is a Gamilas.

Interesting. More condensing if that is the case. Though that also means the Orta plot will not be as close to the captured pilot plot from the original, if they us that part of the plot with this female pilot and her interaction with Yamamoto.
Though I wonder about that. Since they have more crew to show off in communicating with Earth, plus possibly Yamato Radio to show off, will there be time for a Gamilas subplot? As I recall the original was one of the few episodes that nothing exploded. There was no fighting, just character development.

That all changes. As Supervising Director Izubuchi said, after episode 6, everything changes. But, that seems par for course with 2199. So, we shall see; we already know that the "Farewell to Earth" episode, already has a subplot of "one amongst them is not human".

From the preview, I get the feeling they will use the winged Gamilas ship to open a small hole into the edge of the dimensional sea they are in, and then blow it up with the Wave Motion Gun to get free. Or perhaps they will use one of the many other dead ships in there for that and then use the Gamilas ship to tow Yamato out through the rift.
I saw this because it looks like thre is a target that Yamato fire at to open the rift. If they use the Gamilas ship to escape,they would (probably) have to take the crew off. If they just both use their own traits to helf both ships escape, than the Gamilas ship can go off on its own as a "friend", or at least a ship that will hesitate to fire later on. (Allies for Earth on such a long trip into the heart of the Empire might be worth it). (Pixiv artist are fast) (source: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.p...st_id=29655860)

Oh yeah, that was announced last week, and was reported over on the Official Star Blazers Website's Facebook page, and my blog. Here's Amazon Japan's link: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B008YINR6E

The drawing of it reminds me of a mix of Gamilas and Galman designs, but that might just be because of the artist rather than the actual CG model.
macdawson already screencapped the preview, so these are from his set of images. Being so heavy into sci-fi ships, I am very curious about this ship.

The Yamato is AWFULLY close to what looks like a hostile Gamilon ship. The Yamato agreeing to parley work with some party in the next episodes?
would explain hot alien pilot ace being onboard the Yamato.

The Yamato is such an overt threat to the Gamilon civilization that it's pretty much dereliction of duty to not pursue a surefire way of destroying it...even if that means the total loss of a single ship. It'd be like a US Navy ship cooperating with an enemy boomer submarine that they KNEW was going to launch dozens of MIRV's at America. The severity of the threat posed by ship makes stopping the threat more important than what pursuit of self preservation military discipline normally allows.

We don't know the situation. That Gamilon commander might not either. Earth, as far as most of Gamilon knows, does not have faster than light capable ships. The Humans don't know they are heading into the heart of the Empire, and the Gamilons probably don't know what a Yamato is yet. I imagine this Gamilon ship may have been in wherevere they are from before Yamato launched, so it would have no idea of anything that has happened to Pluto and the like.
So it would be more like a temporal displaced World War II American heavy cruiser helping a 1970s Soviet boomer out of the ice field they were both caught in. The Americans would either think the ship is a new weapon to use against the Germans, or just something else. The Soviet sub might not be on a mission to take out Washington, D.C., (they are on their way to Cuba) but those orders might come after this event and the Americans could stop them here. The Gamilon ship may have no idea what has happened on the outside for a while now. Spoiler for Wild idea:

As I said. If they had ANY idea of what the Yamato was.
The Yamato's particular mission at the moment doesn't make it any less of a threat either. Even if they can get to Iscandar without running into Gamilon space...the Gamilons have to assume the first thing earth leadership will do is order the Yamato to initiate offensive operations into Gamilon space. They're still a threat, and the Yamato is the only offensive option. There are really only three ways this scenario can end. -The Gamilons decide to sue for peace -The Yamato annihilates Gamilon civilization -The Yamato is destroyed ...of course if the Iscandar earth rescue operation fails, then the Gamilons and the grief stricken Yamato crew are stuck with the last two options, aren't they? Quote:
It'd be more like...The Soviet Union invading a small and obscure land locked country...who through convoluted means gain access to a boomer submarine, and they plan to use that to nuke the USSR. They and a soviet destroyer get caught in an ice-field, and not knowing that they're enemies armed with nukes, agree to help each-other out.
