Japan is releasing another Space Battleship Yamato this December, better known as Star Blazer! I was flipping out the first 10 seconds of the trailer. I thought I was watching another Godzilla movie trailer, but sadly I was hit with Star Blazer, which is also good.
Apparently the new film is set in in the year 2220, 17 years after “Final Yamato”. A 320,000-kilometer-wide black hole threatens Earth, so 300 million people set a course for Amaaru, 27,000 light years away. The transport fleet is attacked, and the new Yamato battleship leads the counterstrike. 38-year-old Susumu Kodai, the hero of the first series, is now a space captain, and he has a daughter named Miyuki with his wife Yuki (the heroine of the first series).
