Space Battleship Yamato live-action trailer

Trailer arrives for anime adaptation Space Battleship Yamato - Den of Geek

That looks SWEET!! Can’t wait to see this!  My only problem is that the ages of the leads don’t look right. In the original series everyone looks early 20s. That’s what makes Kodai’s character arch so ironic—if he’s in his 30s, it’s OK, but not as interesting.  Ah well.
And I don’t get people who criticize the adaption of the costumes to live-action—I don’t think the body-hugging (OK, they hugged Yuki) jumpsuits from the series would look very good in real life—unless you think the costumes look great on Power Rangers. >_<

Not (yet) Space Battleship Yamato...

J-media of the day for July 27, 2010 pt1: Yamato 2520 (OVA)

…anything related to the Yamato…? Even if it’s… SEXY?



…or we’d sound like fools.


Gap-tooth guy thinks it’s a great idea!



The next cap says it all.


Yep.  They are…


Are you insane?


Ironically, he’s not saying thanks, that’s that girl’s name.

Yamato 2520 was an attempt to do a sequel that took place hundreds of years after the original 3 Yamato series(es?) ended. I don’t know much about it, but I can see why it never got past it’s first, one-hour episode.  It was a stupid premise wrapped inside an absurdly complicated universe. I challenge anyone to get through the opening narration and still understand what the heck is going on.
