At one point in Space Battleship Yamato (the first film of the series), for example, the crew of the Yamato is attempting to engage with an alien attack force, only to be stymied by the intensity of a star that blocks their passage.
In Be Forever Yamato (Yamato: Eien ni, 1980), the fourth film of the series, the ship is forced to go into the center of the terrifying Black Nebula, where it are bombarded by both asteroids and enemy forces in a virtual visual and aural symphony of destruction.
Yoshida Mitsuru, himself a survivor of the Yamato’s sinking, insists that, “Fortunately the space cruiser Yamato is decisively different from the battleship Yamato.” [12] The same may not be said as easily of the Japanese appropriation of the Seabat, clearly a symbol of the desire for Japanese autonomy from America.

So, we restructured Space Cruiser Yamato, not only in terms of specific language on a scene-by-scene basis, but some of the basic series elements as well." One problem Griffen-Bacall faced was that the Japanese had made the ship, Yamato, the hero of the series, or so it seemed from the scripts they provided.
Two movies, Yamato: New Journey and Be Forever Yamato, each continuing the saga after the first two television seasons, were produced in 1979 and 1980.

 Space Cruiser Yamato (1977)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
This comes in a long line of Japanese space opera, both live and animated, that stretches back at least to The Mysterians (1957).

 20 Years Later: The Legacy of Star Blazers by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
Buoyed by an enthusiastic response, the "Yamato" franchise quickly expanded to include two follow-up series and a number of theatrical films, and also helped lay the foundation for other popular space-based series that followed, such as "Macross" (known in the West as "Robotech") and "Space Pirate Captain Harlock".
With interest in space operas high from the monumental success of "Star Wars" the year prior, Westchester Enterprises and Claster Television saw that the market was ripe for "Yamato" and purchased the syndication rights for the first two series in 1978.
In this deleted opening, the original Yamato is sunk by American fighters during a fierce battle, which has numerous parallels, in terms of specific sequences and music, to a later scene in which Gamilon fighters attack the space-faring Yamato.
