peter Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 It probably helped with raising some of the finances but I think the planning stages would have started well before the ST film had been released. Taksraven Defintely. The last few years have seen a lot of Yamato (IJN and Spacebattleship) stuff being released in Japan. That awesome 1/350 scale model/toy came out around the time the IJN Yamato live-action movie came out, loads of books and magazines were flooding the shelves, even a monthly magazine/model came out...the pachinko game, the new animated movie and now this live-action movie. It's defintely seen years of planning. Quote
Keith Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 As long as I have a bluray with english subtitles in my hot little hands, I'll be happy. Speaking of which, is Voyager Entertianment still alive? They can't possibly be surviving on their old VHS composite masters of Yamato in our modern HD era can they? Quote

Did anybody see how bad their release of Comet Empire was. Talk about below broadcast quality! Taksraven Quote

The quality of the subtitles can vary though. Quote
Dynaman Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Did anybody see how bad their release of Comet Empire was. Talk about below broadcast quality! Taksraven Yes, I bought the first one and was intending to get all of them - till I tried to watch it. Quote
Keith Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I can imagine, Voyager's Yamato movie box set is complete with several instances of the VHS master having been mangled at some point. Just when you thought DVD would save us from the old days of munched tape syndrom... Quote
Dynaman Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Netflix has the movie listed in their system, no release date yet - but I don't think they list movies unless someone is planning to release a US version (most likely subbed but that is good with me) Quote

I doubt with the current con season announcements, Netflix would get a heads up on everyone else. Quote
Dynaman Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Unless they have an anime fan playing in the system there. I doubt with the current con season announcements, Netflix would get a heads up on everyone else. They don't normally list movies unless they plan on renting them though and have reason to believe they can get them in stock sometime. They don't even list series DVDs till they are available, even if they already are renting earlier episodes. As an example - they don't have the Yamato WWII movie on their system even though there is an English subtitled version available. Quote
Dynaman Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 The Star Blazers website has a bit more info. It appears there was an English subtitled showing of the movie at a Canadian film festival (legal and all from the sound of it too). http://www.starblazers.com/html.php?page_id=484&PHPSESSID=ee79669da464014e6560fd08aea5927e Quote

And all i'm saying is that news of a Yamato movie license would have hit any number of bigger anime news sites before Netflix, let alone Amazon or rightstuf. Quote
Graham Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Hey, when did Yamato start making movies? I thought they just made toys. Graham Quote

Dynaman Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 http://japanentertainment.tumblr.com/post/2179404726/production-begins-on-new-yamato-show-film Beat me to the punch on that. More Yamato is always good news (it does have to improve though). Hopefully the director's cut of Rebirth will take care of the jumpiness of the plot too. Quote
Keith Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 http://japanentertai...amato-show-film DAMNIT! And here I was hoping the franchise would revert back with Matsumoto so we could have some real Yamato again. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Just watched the subbed version of the anime...not as good as I hoped it would be and I hated the unresolved part of the movie where Yuki's whereabouts were never discovered. But I did find it kinda messed up that the third bridge crew got killed...they really need to pay those people hazard pay. -Kyp Quote
Dynaman Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 But I did find it kinda messed up that the third bridge crew got killed...they really need to pay those people hazard pay. Or at least give them space suits when going into battle. Not many SciFi shows get this right though. Quote
