Ewww. That was terrible. Which is a pity 'cause it's the first bum note (literally) that they have hit so far with 2199.

The overlapping vocals are a bit busy, but aside form that it's pretty awesome, especially the bass.

They crammed nearly 30 "super stars" into this, what did they expect? And not wanting to sound mysogenous or anything but... the Yamato theme is not just a Sasaki thing, it's a man thing. Female vocals don't work with this song and most of the voices here are female. Just like male vocals wouldn't really work with "The Expanding Universe" theme. (Don't hit me, ladies XD ) Much like the Alfee didn't hit the mark in Resurrection, this is, IMHO, a miss. Especially considering the amount of buzz it originated in the official site. There is a youtube channel with all the 2199 episodes where they replaced only the opening credits with awesome edits backed by the Animetal cover of the theme and that kinda works. Way better than this, anyway.

The new song, hmmmmmmm.
The arrangement obviously got worse.
The most disgusting thing is that the position of the gimmick of the song was deviated from the animation. The sequences of the Wave Motion Gun, Kodai and Yuki does not fit for the new song. The former Sasaki-san's one was totally fit for the scene.

As a one off I thought it was fine, but the original singer is still the best version by far.

(having grown up with the Star Blazers song I can't really complain, THAT is corny)

They finaly revealed the cover of the Chapter V Pamphlet and it features the Beemela ruins... a wide shot of the ruins...which makes quite a reveal about them.

VERY nice Katoh box art. :)

I'm more intrigued by how the box for Ch6 shows Dessler front and center, despite the trailer for Ch5 showing that someone is being accused of having assassinate him. Political shenanigans! Tomorrow morning can't come soon enough!

Oh, seems almost all tickets of the Yamato screenings at Shinjuku Piccadilly tomorrow will be sold out soon...

From 8 am to buy the theater exclusive BD or from 10:20 to see the stage greeting?

Thanks for the heads up! Ordered both. I think they saved the best jacket art for the last three volumes. :)

Don't tell me you really believed the big blue guy would stay dead for long?! Oh, poor innocent soul. XD

I just got my copies of Dengeki Hobby and Great Mechanics DX. The most outstanding images are here.

A page devoted to the episodes of Chapter V with a few pictures that grab your attention. A tiny version of this poped up a few weeks ago but we couldn't see much detail but here it is, in all it's glory. :D

Wow...that was quite a set of episodes. So much action (mostly eps 15 and 18), it practically flew by.

Will put a few details in a spoiler section below.

As for Ch.6 ... guess what is going to make an appearance? ;-)

Keep in mind that the following info is 100% spoilerific, and also typed in haste ^^;

That image is out on the web so it's not that big a spoiler. :) Izubuchi didn't say he wouldn't use it, he said they had tackled with not using it but in the end decided it was too iconical a thing to leave out. But it would be somewhat different from the original, in order for it's use to make sense. :) Also, the red carrier finaly shows up and it seems the Domelus survived Chapter V and will be in the battle, not just the bridge section... nice. :D

Ok, first of all, yes I got a major characters name wrong in my report. Have corrected it now, sorry. Thats what I get for trying to remember everything while on the train. ^^;

Because its not a spoiler. Its clearly in the promotional material for Chapter 6 and has no direct relation to the outcome of the plot. Its also something thats been brought up by Izubuchi multiple times at Yamatalk events. I think the cover for Ch. 6 IS a spoiler though, especially if you have yet to see Chapter 5.

Westfall, see answers inline below.
