AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

moneybagzz I remember the day in late August (maybe early September) of 1979 that I caught 'Star Blazers' on WNYC TV (before Fox became Channel 5 in my area) and I was immediately hooked. Simply nothing else like it was available on TV or in theaters at the time (Star Wars was re-released earlier that year but ESB was next year, and The Flannel One's creation was not a regular TV series).Fast forward three decades and now the animated series is rebooted (due to the popularity of the live-action movie).Despite some flaws (I won't get into them here; too nit-picky, some would say) this is simply the BEST reboot of any series that I have seen. I have caught 22 of the 26 episodes. Each episode, most of which had counterparts in the original series (some differ greatly but remain consistent) tells another dimension of the story, and all of it adds up. I cannot wait for the final four.The characterizations are stronger, the movement and image crispness are a wonder to behold. Kudos to Studio Xebec. The design of the EDF and Gamilon capital ships, as well as the fighters, bombers and other small vehicles (many of which were lifted from or inspired by the original series) are EVERYTHING that I wanted in a reboot of 'Star Blazers/Yamato.' I can't say this enough: this series is ripe for a competent Hollywood adaptation. It's a combination of Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Saving Private Ryan and M*A*S*H with the musical theatricality of Les Miserables (thankfully there are no song and dance routines, but the music is awesome).If you have not had the chance to view it, do so immediately. If you are a fan of Star Wars or the re-booted BSG, you will enjoy it. And, if you are a fan of the original, either the Japanese version or the American 'Star Blazers,' you owe it to your self to sit down, and spend 22 minutes per evening - one episode per night until the series is complete - for the ride of a lifetime.

cesar-avila I've watched the 6 episodes aired till now. I've watched the 26 original episodes, the live action movie and I'm a hardcore fan. And I said that this adaption (it is not a reboot) is the best of all work on Uchuu Senkan Yamato. Why? Because It combines good animation, good script and good explanation of some "unclear situations" in original series.SPOILERS START BELOW:The current series explores the day-by-day of a crew that use a super-ship constructed based on alien technology that is by far more powerful than any Terran ship. And besides original series, the current series present the problems, adjusts and fears of a first time technology in operation: engine failure, limited cannons, etc. So the ship and the crew are becoming more and more resistant, trained and strong as the series evolves.And the crew doubts... like one crew member "we are in solar system yet... (10 days after leaving mother Earth). Will we reach Iscandar in one Earth year, traveling 148.000 light years and back?"END SPOILERSSmall surprises... small changes in original series... but all are good IMHO.Hope, spirit, faith... this is Uchuu Senkan Yamato.Hope you enjoyCesar
