Space Battleship Yamato Remake Confirmed


Mechanical designer Makoto Kobayashi (Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, Giant Robo, Last Exile, Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection) revealed at the closing ceremonies of Anime Expo that he is working on a remake of Space Battleship Yamato which is set to be release next year!

The original Space Battleship Yamato began in 1974 and was created by Yoshinobu Nishizaki and Leiji Matsumoto. The titular spaceship Yamato is built from the remains of the World War II battleship of the same name to protect Earth from extraterrestrial threats. The said series spawned two anime sequels, films and was later dubbed in English as Star Blazers. A live-action movie was also released last year.
