 One Ton of Anime Reviews - Yamato 2520
After the destruction of the Yamato in the year 2105, the human race sets out towards space, beyond the Milky Way.
Sadly, Yamato 2520 is largely unconnected to the classic Space Cruiser Yamato - a totally different look for the ship, completely different characters, no Gamalons, none of the extremely cool music - it's Yamato in name only.
Not even close - the worst entry of the Yamato saga is still superior to 2520.

When shown in theatres, as the Yamato flew into the new, unknown area of space, the curtains on each side of the screen opened, revealing a wider field of view as the movie itself switched to Panavision.
Epic in scope and vision, it is most certainly the biggest story of the Yamato saga, with a stylistic change from all that had come before it and would influence the features and series to come after.

 Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Be Forever Yamato (1980)
The Yamato saga is long, complex, and at times baffling, given that there were multiple series and several feature films...but the quality of the stories is rarely questioned, and in Be Forever Yamato, once again, we get to see why.
A second featurette collection is "1980: The Summer of Yamato," which includes a highly detailed event chronology for the premiere and release of the film, a photo gallery of the premiere and individuals involved, information on the radio drama on All Night Nippon, and an illustrated text interview with publicist Masayo Tokuyama.
The Yamato saga is so beloved and venerable that hiring English voice actors would have been seen as tampering, and surely Voyager was aware of that.

The story is to follow more closely the original Yamato manga comic novel in which Matsumoto has Mamoru Kodai (Alex Wildstar, Derek's older brother who was presumed to be dead) turn up as the phantom pirate captian, Harlock.
The Captain Harlock saga, as readers may know, takes place roughly in the late 2900s, and, so, moving the date of the Yamato story up by 1000 years brings the timelines to within about 200 years of one another.

The Japanese title is Uchuu Senkan Yamato which translates into English as "Space Battleship Yamato", though the Japanese themselves wrote it in English as "Space Cruiser Yamato".
The original Japanese versions of the Yamato movies are now available from various Anime dealers and also from Suncoast.
Because American TV audiences had mostly never seen either the TV Film "Yamato, New Journey" or "Be Forever Yamato," both of which occur between TV Seasons 2 and 3, those audiences could not know about Desslok's and the Star Force's cooperative battles against the Black Nebula Empire.

 Quack Experimental Anime Excel Saga
Quack Experimental Anime Excel Saga proves that in anime at least, the source of energy is not only terrifyingly inexhaustible it actually demands a certain educated awareness to properly appreciate it.
Amidst all that chaos there is a certain amount of skill involved, a knowledge of the vagaries and histories of anime and manga enough to impress even the expert otaku.
And perhaps that is Excel Saga's only real flaw - some of the references are obscure in the extreme for the average Western anime fan so be prepared to utilise that pause button and the extremely handy AD Video Notes, which appear in the form of the much valued, possibly tasty, emergency supply Minchi.

Secondly, the original theatrical ratio of the Yamato movies was in fact, 4:3 (aside from "Be Forever," which switches to a widescreen aspect ratio mid-feature, something which VEI preserved).
And worst of all, just like all the voyager releases of the yamato films it is not presented in it's original theatrical widescreen aspect ratio.
The development of the relationship between Desslar [Desslok] and Kodai [Wildstar] which turned from enmity to subtle sympathy in the Series Two is the underline of this story.

 SongBook | Yamato 2520   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In 1995, without the help of Leiji Matsumoto, who was instrumental in the creation of the original Space Battleship Yamato, Yoshinobu Nishizaki tried to launch a "Yamato: The Next Generation" of sorts, Yamato 2520, set 100 years after the original Yamato's adventures came to a fiery end.
The original Yamato music isn't even so much as quoted here, with the Yamato 2520 score favoring modern-day synth precision, and frankly it's dull in places.
It's not a total loss, but like the short-lived series from which it originated, the Yamato 2520 soundtrack fails to live up to the legacy to which it would inevitably (and yes, perhaps unfairly) be compared.

Arrivederci Yamato was also darker, with many more deaths and noble suicides of major characters.
Arrivederci was less confusing than the sometimes choppy plot of Space Battleship Yamato the movie, except for the ending where you can completely misinterpret what happens w/o some kind of translation if you don't speak Japanese.
Differences between the movie version and the TV version were not too subtle, as the subsequently produced TV version spares the lives of most of the cast, contrary to the original ending of Yamato 2 movie.

Voyager is apparently owned by Nishizaki's Westcape Corporation, the original Japanese producer of the Yamato saga.Voyager has also reseased an English version of Yamato Movie #2 (Arrivederci Yamato) using the Starblazers character names (although not without some error).
Even though the English names are used, the ship is referred to as the "Yamato" (with one exception when Desslok slips and calls it the "Argo").
A: Because American TV audiences had mostly never seen either the TV Film "Yamato, New Journey" or "Be Forever Yamato, " both of which occur between TV Seasons 2 and 3, those audiences could not know about Desslok's and the Starforce's cooperative battles against the Black Nebula Empire.

 Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars (1980)
Many a Yamato-fan otaku will refuse to watch this set, much less admit to liking it, because of a couple of quibbles: the voices are different than in previous segments of the Yamato saga, and during the show's original run on TV, they used the theme from the "Comet" story arc to open the show.
The year is 2205, and a new danger has appeared for the venerable warship Yamato.
It seems that during the war between the Bolar Commonwealth and the Galman Gamilas, a stray missile flew into Sol and rendered it unstable; the crew of the Yamato is therefore pressed into service to find a new Earth--and they only have a year to do it before Sol explodes.
