  Retroland | Starblazers
Starblazers was one of the many Japanese cartoons that were re-edited and dubbed into English for American audiences.
Based on the series Space Battleship Yamato, Starblazers told the story of earth's Star Force, who protected the planet from the invading armies of the distant world Gamilon, led by the evil Desslok.
In the 1980's, Starblazers premiered new episodes that were taken from the third Japanese season of Space Battleship Yamato, but this relaunch was aborted fairly early on.

And also, like Starsha, she is seen as the savior of the Earth.
The first Starblazers was all about travelling into unknown frontiers, overcoming obstacles and fighting to save the Earth.

One message of "Yamato" and "Starblazers" is that war is a sad thing where even the winners must make terrible sacrifices.
In the same breath, though, I thoroughly, heartily and fully recommend "Starblazers" (which is devoid of the naughty words and has all the good stuff the movie was missing) for children and even the occasional, curious parent.

Many now criticize this Leiji Matsumoto and Yoshinobu Nishizaki classic as being out of date, inferior to today's higher animation standards, but on a cold day in early January of 1978, I turned on to TV38, WSBK in Boston and my trip down the anime road was secured!
The american version, renamed as Starblazers, was a soap opera set in space with illustrations and animation that overshadowed other cartoons of the day like Woody Woodpecker or the Jetsons.
