I thought they had pulled the same trick as they did with Kato or it was just a similar character, given Matsumoto-based characters do have a tendency to look similar. XD But no, it is Yamamoto, i checked my game art books and there it is, his name in all it's kanji glory. Don't know how they did that.

With previous releases no files have been uploaded until the standard release has hit stores. It's true that the Limited Edition comes out when the movie hits theatres but those are bought either by collectors that won't post the files on line or by people who will sell them in the auction market. So don't expect those files to pop up before the end of February.

If it follows Yamato 2, Shima is presumed dead by that point (having been lost during the last battle with Dessler at most just a day earlier), so she might decide to go out with honor with no one left for her anymore. Or being the honorable pilot she is, would die to cover her commanding officer to save the mission. (in both Yamato 2 and Farewell Yamato, Yamamoto directly places his plane between the enemy guns and Kodai's plane. In the Live Action Film, he is just one of the first pilots shot down.)

He died covering the land vehicle just as he covered Kodai in the animes.

Yes they did, that doesn't automatically mean that hardcore Yamato fans will throw them up online. Just because something is on sale doesn't mean a copy of it exists on the internet.

Thanks! I scored one of the last three first printings of Volume 3 at CD Japan.

I also placed a preorder for Volume 4 with Amazon Japan.

Congrats, Pinoy78 — SCORE!

I think I'm gonna reconsider following the official twitter account.

A playtest for a convention later this month based on the opening two minutes of Episode 11.


Condensed because it is long and has lots of images.

TL;DR…

superb battle report !

Just caught up until ep 10. This show is just too good to be true. There has to be a catch somewhere

[Ithekro]

We still have 16 episodes left to see if we find one.

The Japanese wikipedia page on Yamato 2199 suggests that the show will start airing on April 7th at 5pm on something like 27 TV stations (various MBS and TBS stations throughout Japan).

The Story page for Episode 14 updated with some pictures finally.

Also some Pixiv images, some for Valentine's Day.

There are many others and as Valentine's Day approaches more come up every day. Dommel's wife is also starting to get some sexy pictures as well.

Turns out that Taku Kitazaki, a manga author that generally does more pervy stuff ( Kono S o, Mi yo!) is also a Yamato 2199 nerd

Hey, just started watching the series a few days ago and I've really grown to like it. As someone who really liked Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 and the associated One Year War media, this is really what I want out of a Science Fantasy War Story (Gundam having become way too full of itself over the past several decades to me for the most part). It has the right mixture of great art, interesting characters, creative concepts and solid worldbuilding.

One of the things that strikes me, seeing a lot of reviews of this series, is they talk about it being pretty much a straight adaptation of the original. Now I've been sort of skimming the original series as I've been watching this show (It's... not exactly my cup of tea), and I notice that while in broad strokes it mirrors the progression of the show and some scenarios are taken directly from episodes, the way everything is portrayed, tonally and structurally, is pretty radically different. It's kind of what Evanelion 2.0 was to its respective episodes from NGE.

Also, to go back to something I saw from several pages ago; Space Fighters are total rule of cool honestly; they wouldn't be practical in actual space combat. For one the entire aerodynamicism of planes is pointless in space, so you'd be better off building Space Fast Attack Craft. But even then, all the FACs really are are missile buses, and in space missiles can fit that role perfectly fine, without having to worry about the costs for fuel and upkeep of fighter vessels.

Unless you want a vehicle that is multi-mission and can be deployed in any environment. What works in space is not so good in an atmosphere due to drag, etc., so aerodynamics would be required.
The fighters in Yamato are intended for multi-mission roles as we saw examples of the recon plane and Cosmo-Zero being used both in space and on Mars & Earth.
So for a multi-mission combat unit it does make sense. Squadrons of them being used as combat platforms during a battle (assuming they are fast enough and have proper ECM to avoid being hit by larger vessels) in quantity. Even with long range energy weapons that move near light speed, you can only hit so many targets at once, and a fast one to two man fighter capable of extreme-Delta-V maneuvers would be excellent in close combat I would think.
