  • Space Battleship Yamato (Live-Action)

    Some of you may remember Star Blazers, which was based on a Japanese Anime series called Space Battleship Yamato, certainly I have fond memories watching it as a kid.

    Well turns out they made a movie of it! Just opened in Japan and, well, for any fan of this show growing up, watching that wave motion gun fire up is, well, UBER cool.

    Have no prior knowledge of the cartoon or the anime.

    But the image of a nautical battleship flying into space is a striking one.

      Hehe, well it's best to not over think it, but somehow when one is 8 years old it seemed to make sense

        As an aside, it's interesting how much WWII revisionism is apparent with the present day resurrection of a flagship that was sunk with nary a significant engagement. I remember my dad, in the forerunner of the O.S.S. , speaking of receiving the submarine communiques whenever they sighted such "prizes" as the Yamato.

            Makes me wanna see Voltron made properly.

            And I ain't talking about the stupid lion version.

                Love the trailer.

                Epic space battles. Massivie battleships flying through space with cheesy Steven Tyler ballads playing in the background...I'm in.

                  I am fairly excited about this.

                    I grew up on Star Blazers, so I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but I'm excited about this.

                      I LOVED STAR BLAZERS!!!!


                      I'm all over this... May not be pretty seeing a 40 years old geek out over the wave motion gun (I managed to make a reference to it in one of my screenplays even)
