When I tried to rewatch it as an adult, I couldn't. The science was bad, charters wooden, and it just didn't work for me anymore. This is clearly another U.S. edit of a Japanese remake of the original show, but it feels like it was done for the original audience, now grown up.TL;DR: If you enjoyed the original U.S. version as a kid and never bothered to learn Japanese to watch the original language version, you owe it to yourself to watch this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A remake done right. (WARNING: SPOILERS) *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018* I have just completed watching the first 13 episodes of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and I have to state that I was not disappointed. Much like the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica (2004), Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is darker than its 1974 original, but still hopeful in terms of the mission at hand. Of course anyone that has had the privilege of seeing the original Japanese versions of Space Battleship Yamato and Space Battleship Yamato II, knows that the original, unedited series was rife with dark undertones; the Japanese have little issue with children knowing just how messed up life can be.In its Star Blazers format, which was the only way we got to see it here in the US before the Japanese version was posted to, and eventually pulled from, YouTube, removed many of the real-life elements of the series. Just about any indication of humans or Gamilons dying was removed from Star Blazers or hand-waved, as if the middle school and older target audience was oblivious to the fact that such conflict would result in numerous deaths.I watched the series in Japanese with subtitles, but on some disc reloads where my Mac’s DVD Player software reverted to the English dub, it seems that the dubbed version avoided the Luke Nounverber renaming of characters. (This practice was common for dubbed Japanese imports in the 1960s, 1970s, and into the 1980s, but was fortunately abandoned as anime grew more popular in the States.) Funimation’s release respects the characters’ Japanese names for humans and the Gamilons names that are derivations of Nazi-era German political and military leaders. Thus, those of us that grew up with the Argo, Captain Avatar, Derek Wildstar, Mark Venture, Nova, General Lysis, and Leader Desslock will need to adjust to hearing Yamato, Captain Okita, Susumu Kodai, Daisuke Shima, Yuki Mori, General Domel, and Leader Dessler.Also new characters have been introduced to better flesh out not only the Yamato’s crew, but also Gamilon ranks. Where the original series followed the Star Trek formula—having the main characters performing a wide range of specialized duties that would be performed by other persons or teams—has been greatly diminished. In the original series Yuki was the worst case of this being the sole female on the Yamato serving as radar officer, nurse, laundress, and a number of other “traditional” female roles. (There were actually other women on the Yamato in the original series, albeit rarely seen and only in the background, but they were never seen again after Episode 10 and were completely excised from Star Blazers.)The remake also has much more character development for which General Domel is an excellent example. In the original, we are introduced to Domel when he arrives on Gamilas to much fanfare to receive a medal from Dessler. We are informed that he is a highly decorated and respected general in the Gamilon military, but not much more. In 2199 we are introduced to Domel as he is engaged against Galantis forces in the Small Magellanic Cloud, so the reason for the medal he receives is explained and we get some foreshadowing of what will later be the Comet Empire’s (Galantis) invasion of the Milky Way galaxy. In the few episodes in which he appears at the end of Part 1, we also get to see a more complex and, much like his namesake, General Rommel, conflicted Domel that is a far cry from the one-dimensional war hawk that appeared in the 1970s series.In fact, the series as a whole ups the ante in complexity. Humanity is not presented as a race of white knights and the Gamilons are anything but pure evil. The 2199 universe avoids being back and white, and instead offers a far more realistic vision of gray politics nearly on par with what is seen in J. M. Straczynski’s Babylon 5.Space Battleship Yamato 2199 also gives more credence to the technology used in the series. While not on the level of post-TOS/pre-Abrams Star Trek series—Paramount employed technical consultants and much of the “explanation” of 24th century tech was well-grounded in contemporary knowledge of physics—the remake goes beyond the “just accept it” notion that permeates many shows/movies that are set in the future. The concept of the single ship that saves the day against entire aggressor fleets is a fairly common sci-fi trope, but often nonsensical when given much thought. It is even more so the case when that sole vessel belongs to an underdog protagonist that is not only outnumbered, but also technologically inferior to their opposition. The revamped Yamato is presented as employing advanced technologies that the Earth was gifted that the Gamilons do not have or are still working on. Combined with Captain Okita’s strategic and tactical prowess, this is a more realistic explanation of why the Yamato survives numerous engagements with an aggressor that is the Earth’s technological superior.In all, I have to commend Funimation for their US release of this updated anime series. I look forward to the release of the second half of this reboot as well as the future release of Space Battleship Yamato 2202. Voyager Entertainment seriously dropped the ball on this one, but it is not surprising after all these years. I also recently purchased the Voyager DVD sets of Star Blazers: Quest for Iscandar and Star Blazers: The Comet Empire which I previously acquired on VHS. Voyager still does not offer the Japanese version of the original series, let alone a digital remaster.Lastly, unlike another commenter that complained about the DVDs included in this set, I also commend Funimation on this multi-format release. Not everyone has a Blu-ray player—I for one do not because of life circumstances that are directing my finances elsewhere—, but this release provides me an upgrade path once I can afford to get one. This was not the case when I purchased VHS tapes of the original series over 20 years ago which were very expensive; the discount price from Voyager Entertainment for buying all three Star Blazers series as a set was in excess of $500.00. If Part 2 is priced similarly to Part 1, then the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of the Iscandar saga will cost me less than the Voyager DVD set for the original Quest for Iscandar series, which itself is much less expensive than when Voyager first made Star Blazers available in that format. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Yamato! *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024* Great to have this if only on digital!
