I would say start with 2199, the new ones, you will not miss much by skipping the original.

TZoli · 2016-08-30, 11:45

Well if you watch the first original series than the new one, you will not also see how it was improved but you can look after more for the important parts. Though maybe a mid 70's anime is a bit too old nowadays, but that is the person to decide.
Like how I prefer more the art style of the first Hellsing anime (the 2001 one) while the story and brutality of the 2nd one (2009) is better.

Kamijou Touma IB · 2016-08-30, 14:34

True, I have always shown my friends the end of episode 3 when Yamato lifts off and then episode 2 of 2199 as a comparison.

Ithekro · 2016-08-30, 15:13

The differences in the new series will likely get greater as in continues. The second series had a lot more ship to ship combat than the first one did, so I suspect that will need a large amount of updating to keep up with the improvements from Yamato 2199 in regards to ship to ship combat.

Ithekro · 2016-09-02, 23:54

There is some sort of event happening on the 5th.

Bask in the glory of Gatlantis. First teaser trailer. Chapter 1 will premiere on February 25th 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwLfcUEnQKs

Also, the official page has been upgraded and features the new key art and new sections

Ithekro · 2016-09-05, 05:43

Interesting voice over choice.

Teresa is naked again.

Kodai's got a captain's jacked and hat (though doesn't seem to have a promotion)

Yuki's back to her reddish uniform coat from before they left Earth (logical).

(Little teasing trailer)

I guess there might be a longer one in the next several months, as they did this for Yamato 2199 as well.

There are 174 days left.....

(Blu-ray will be out March 24th, 2017 for episodes 1 and 2...at least if I read it correctly)

Aside from new versions of figurines of Yuki, there will definitely be a 1/1000 scale model kit for Andromeda early on.

EDIT:
Yamato's hull line his higher now...up to the middle of the torpedo doors and just above the wings.

Yesterday I ran a Star Blazers game at a convention in an effort to simulate a possible combined fleet action for 2202, with an Earth/Gamilas force against a Gatlantis force. Gatlantis won this time. Earth ship's couldn't hit the broadside of a barn when they needed to, and the Gatlantis ships managed to get in close and use their larger numbers of guns to overwhelm the wave motion shielding. Yamato was the last Earth ship to be destroyed in the game, with a Magna-shock cannon from an enemy battleship. Andromeda was the last Earth ship on the table that couldn't escape, and would have been destroyed easily the next turn. The remaining Gamilas ships were two large battleships and a battlecarrier. While they are powerful, they were vastly outnumbered by that point simply because chance failed them too many time in the six or so hour game. (The playtest was an Earth/Gamilas victory, but a costly one. This was the first time Gatlantis has defeated the upgraded Earth ships with wave motion shields, which means I think I'm finding a balance point.)

Ithekro · 2016-09-05, 15:26

A little over six months away for the Blu-ray release for those who can't be in Japan to experience it first hand. Release date is March 24th.

No information of subtitles and languages at this point, but if they are consistent, their will be English subtitles on their region free blu-rays.

Kamijou Touma IB · 2016-09-05, 19:25

I hope the blurays have subs.

YF19EX · 2016-09-06, 00:42

Well I hope the 2199 blurays sold well enough to warrant continued subtitling. Voyager disastrous release aside, I bought every single volume including and the movie with a few of them being limited editions picked up while in Japan last year or so.

Feb 25th might warrant a weekend run to Tokyo!

If you watch the PV you'll find Starblazer within the title.

Ithekro · 2016-09-07, 12:57

It seems that Kodai is captain of the destroyer Yuunagi with a mixed Earth-Gamilas frontier defense task force (38th). So my recent combined Earth-Gamilon fleet action against the Comet Empire for the Battle of Saturn might not be too far off the mark.

skaianDestiny · 2016-09-07, 13:44

The 2202 character descriptions have been translated!

Quote:

SUSUMU KODAI (CV: Daisuke Ono)
Former Yamato tactical officer, head of the tactical section. After returning from the great voyage to Iscandar, he is currently serving as captain of the destroyer Yuunagi in the Earth Defense Forces - Frontier Defense Task Force 38, a mixed Earth-Garmilas fleet. Leery of Earth's dash towards rearmament, he carried out his duties while bearing almost unbearable feelings.

YUKI MORI (CV: Houko Kuwashima)
Former Yamato operations chief, now serving as navigation chief in Earth headquarters, central command. Grew to love Kodai during the voyage to Iscandar and became publically engaged to him after their return to Earth. Currently awaiting their marriage.

HAJIME SAITOU
Space Marines (lit. Space Cavalry) 5th regiment, commanding officer. Rank: space master sergeant. Assigned to Far East sector underground city security, lunar garrison, he is currently stationed on planet 11. He thought he was doomed to spend his days free from battle, but…

ZORDAR
Based on his personal belief that he must be the supreme ruler of space, he is the great emperor of the battle nation known as the Imperial Planet Gatlantis. He has captured the planet Terezart in order to gain Teresa's power. In addition, he has dispatched soldiers to Earth, the world to which Teresa has sent a cosmo wave.

TERESA
A goddess who continues to pray for universal peace. Releasing a powerful "prayer" in the form of a psychic energy wave (a "cosmo wave") from the planet Terezart, she warns the former Yamato crew of the danger to space. Whosoever should gain this power, it is said that they may have any desire granted.

Of particular note is that we have confirmation of Earth-Gamilas cooperation! So much excitement!

macdawson · 2016-09-08, 04:08

Kodai popped the question a lot sooner this time... XD

Ithekro · 2016-09-08, 05:21

Weren't they waiting for there wedding day when Kodai got back from patrol only to have stuff happen in the film? I'm not certain I recall how the series version went, only that they announced they postponed the wedding following the survivor's recovery from the hospital and the eve of Yamato taking off as a training ship (A New Voyage)....or roughly a month after the events of the Second Series.

It was suppose to be soon from what I recall from Kodai's return from patrol.

macdawson · 2016-09-08, 18:59

As far as I recall, the wedding only came up in Final Yamato but its been a long time...

Ithekro · 2016-09-08, 21:46

The actual wedding was delayed until 6inal Yamato, but they had had plans for it to be rather soon at the start of Farewell to Yamato. Like weeks or months away I seem to recall. Though I have not rewatched that film in a while now.

Side note: this is the series/story that gave Yamato the reputation of having to ask the question "who is going to live?". Should we have a death list? The two versions of the story do not have many survivors.

Kamijou Touma IB · 2016-09-09, 17:15

It will be interesting to see who they kill this time. I am sure Yamamato and Kato will survive this time. I just feel there will not be so many major players dying this time.

Tri-ring · 2016-09-10, 03:06

You can't forget Saito/Sanada duo at climax of this series.
