If you've seen episodes 19 and 20 you know each carrier had a type of fighter. That's what's coming here. The first carrier to come out is the Lambea (purple) which carried the DMB87 Precision Bomber

Hadn't noticed it while watching, but damned if someone didn't manage to turn the Chance Vought F4U Corsair into a futuristic plane.

Personally, I think it is more of a nod to the German Stuka dive bomber. Especially, since most of the Garmila Military design is German inspired/influenced.

Yeah, and I think the serial numbers are giveaway clues too:

DWG227 -> Ho 227

DDG110 -> Bf 110

DWG262 -> Me 262

DWG109 -> Bf 109

DMB87 "Snooka"-> Ju 87 "Stuka"

DBG88 -> Ju 88

Can't place the FWG97 torpedo bomber though...

...And thus ends the voyage .... Until the movie drops next year.

I sure hope the movie, if there is one (guaranteed to happen, I know), will not be the end of the Yamato remake journey; Voyage to Iscandar may be over, but there is still Comet Empire and Bolar Wars that I'd like to see come to fruition.

FInally was able to see the last episodes (Thanks FedEx) and boy, what an amazing series and great retelling this has been. Please spread the word and when it starts coming out in the West spread the word so that more people can see this wonderful show.

Manly tear moments

True, but who's to say tha they wouldn't need the gun on the way back? I'm almost certain they used it once more on the way home in the original series...

Nah. They just had Sanada out-science Dessler. Felt a little out of place, and a little rushed. I liked the final duel in 2199 much better.

Phew! Just finished watching the last two episodes and I have to say that I'm literally blown away-what an awesome way to end one of the greatest reboots of all time, be it animated, live action or whatever. The story was very moving and emotional towards the end, but not in a Return of the Jedi sort of way where everything's forcefully mushy and overly-sentimental. I DO HAVE one MAJOR problem with the way they handled Desslar though. You see, in the original series...

i'm probably going to get lynched for saying this, but i think the live action movie had a more impactful ending than 2199.

i can't put my finger on it, maybe it was the director or maybe it was the screenplay, but the last episode just felt a bit anticlimactic in some ways. there was a lot of emotional moments for sure, but there was no more struggle, no more tension, no more fighting against their fates, just the drama of coping with it. the important characters no longer had a say on whether their ending would be a a tragedy or whether they could still could do something, a sacrifice if necessary, to fight for their happy ever after.

i didn't say that i agreed with how they ended the movie, just stating that it was written to sustain the tension through to the end and have a climactic punchline.

indeed 2199 ended as it should, but how they meandered through the last episode could've been done better -- even without any additional body count.

I see what you're saying and I do agree that...

As for the live action movie, I'd like to check out this seemingly contraversial ending but in all honesty I couldn't bring myself to get halfway throught it...

I should be done with the final two episode by this weekend. :)

On a related note Megahouse Yuria Misaki should be shipping soon. I might pass on nurse figure though...I'm more interested in Melda and Nimi.

Any chance of a Blu-ray box set? I'd like to get the whole thing in one (expensive) go.

In 5 years, may be.

My comparison is with the original animated series, but I agree with all these points. Although there is a lot to like in 2199, the impact is not as strong. Maybe that is the nostalgia talking? Maybe there were too many changes? I don't know. I cannot put my finger on it, whatever it is.
