Dynaman Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I don't remember hearing anything about this before. There is a little blurb on the website, and the trailer it links to is interesting. I like Yuki's new design, not so much so for Kodai and Shima though. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-11-11/yamato-2199-anime-remake-film-teaser-streamed Quote
taksraven Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I liked how they kept the original ship designs, they looked pretty cool. Seems that there will always be people around trying to squeeze more money out of Yamato. Doesn't bother me though. Quote
taksraven Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Here is a youtube version of the trailer. The music has been replaced with the traditional Yamato theme, so enjoy..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scA5-z5jHBk Quote
myk Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 So I take it this is a reboot of sorts? Alright, sign me up... Quote
mrhillz Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Cool, sounds like it could be a good jumping point for me to watch it. Quote
myk Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Oh so you've never seen the series? Despite the antiquated animation I always found the story to be captivating. I think you'll like it, and if they're sprucing this old thing up to bring it into the new millenium it can only win.....I HOPE... Quote
shiroth Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 So the movie will be the first two episodes? That's pretty interesting. I'm guessing in that regards, that we'll be getting the TV series after that. Could be quite a wait if the film is out in April. Hoping it'll still be sometime in 2012. Quote

Yeah, just read about the TV series thing. That has me even more excited. I thought that the animation wasn't quite up to feature film quality, but if they avoid going to places like Beeland I will be happy. Quote
Keith Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 The character designs are a bit...Tezuka'd up, which is weird for a non-Tezuka anime. The ship designs also seem a bit...stubby. At this point, anything has got to be better than Rebirth/Ressurection, but they really should have brought in Matsumoto. Quote
shiroth Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I'm still hoping we'll see Matsumoto involved in the production. Quote
Wanzerfan Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I'm still hoping we'll see Matsumoto involved in the production. After seeing that Daft Punk quartet of videos he was involved in, I should hope so.Here's also to seeing either a Captain Harlock or Queen Emarladas cameo, too. Quote

Thom Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I signed up!! I'm not too enthused by the 'classic' anime look, so I think this is great, and I'm glad for the update. Quote
Keith Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 After seeing that Daft Punk quartet of videos he was involved in, I should hope so. Here's also to seeing either a Captain Harlock or Queen Emarladas cameo, too. That's old news. Check out Galaxy Railways if you haven't already. It's already an older series now too, but full of Matsumoto awesomeness. As for this new Yamato series, It's got some good staff involved, but the chances of Matsumoto character cameo's is about 0% without his involvement. Besides, look at the ships, they're too stubby to have had his involvement in this version. Quote
Gubaba Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Okay...I'm looking forward to this. I'll probably regret that position, but this looks GREAT. Quote
Dobber Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Completely not important but I'm sort of surprised that they still show the wreck of the original Yamato intact. Isn't the real ship in pieces? Just kind of thought they'd have updated that info when the wreck was found. As for this anime it looks great to me, deffinately looking forward to this.

Dynaman Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Never let reality get in the way of an iconic image!! That, and if it were in pieces it wouldn't make much of a finished ship (great excuse to redisgn it though, HERESY!) And yes, everything after the Comet Empire stuff has been a letdown (to varyious degrees) so hopefully this will bring back the original magic Quote

Dynaman Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Don't hope. "If you keep your expectations tiny, you'll go through life without being so whiny." It's not like I'm expecting a Uwe Bol movie to be good or anything like that... Quote

Dobber Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Love it! Really loving the designs, I hope they contnue to make more models from this production. Chris Quote
Keith Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Still say the character designs look too Tezuka-ey. Quote
myk Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Still say the character designs look too Tezuka-ey. You're probably right-I admit the only character I noticed was Nova... Quote
Dynaman Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 I like the new designs as well. Different, but still look good - and everyone shown so far is instantly recognizable. I wonder what Dr. Sane (Sado?) is going to look like (don't remember seeing him yet) Quote
Kyp Durron Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 The Yamato looks just like the new Bandai 1/500 kit. -Kyp Quote
Dobber Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Yup, I believe the kit is based off of this design. That's why I hope they continue with more models from this series! Chris Quote
Kyp Durron Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Yup, I believe the kit is based off of this design. That's why I hope they continue with more models from this series! Chris Just read up on it, and you're absolutely right, Bandai made the kit using the new 2199 design. Makes me glad I got this. -Kyp Edited February 5, 2012 by Kyp Durron Quote
Tochiro Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I managed to attend the launch Ceremony for the new Yamato 2199 series last weekend - a full report will hopefully be up over at Starblazers.com in April. They actually showed us episode 1 in its entirity and damn I was impressed. The latest trailer for the series can be found here: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/mpd/permalink/m3KWXF9VEKY89B/ref=ent_fb_link?pf_rd_p=110850949&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=3077270796&pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_r=128ZWFJHSG1X8QNB634E Quote
UN Spacy Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 WOW. I'm very impressed by the amount of detail they're poured into the mechanical and character redesigns here. VERY impressed. Quote
