Movie of the Friday Night: SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO (Live-action).

And the movie is not wasting too much time on explaining characters, backstory, or other fripperies. SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO takes the position that if you are watching this movie, you know precisely who all of these people are, what they mean to each other, and what the Hell was going on. And they are, in point of fact, correct. It took me no more than three minutes to get back in the zone.

I can’t watch it all in one go tonight, because I got stuff to do. But I’m already one-third done and I just turned it on to make sure everything was working properly.

  1. I decided after watching it that the most impressive special effect was that the uniforms didn’t look terrible despite being true to the original styles!

    Actually, I also have the soundtrack, and love it. It shows up in many of RPG sessions background music sets.

    1. I know, right? All in all, I enjoyed it. Danged if I know how somebody who didn’t watch the show would react to it, though.

  2. IIRC it was 15-odd years ago that this was announced and it took a full seven years for it to make it to the states (3 years of production in Japan and then four more years before it was released here). I know this because I had a reminder set to look for updates every couple months and was routinely disappointed by it for YEARS.
