Sandman Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 I'm disappointed that they went with an instrumental version of the opening song. Quote

To be fair, ships in orbit very rarely see each other. The real problem is that the only ship that seems to EVER be NEAR Earth when there is a crisis is the Enterprise - even when said crisis takes place on the way to the Klingon border. The Yamato Dock appears to be underwater from the other quick shot we have of the guns firing up out of the water - and it would sorta match the original Yamato 2 series, though I think that was in a dock next to the water.

myk Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Fair enough, but what about some orbital platforms, space stations, satellites....anything? Macross Plus is the only piece of sci fi that I can remember off of the top of my head that at least tried to depict objects in orbit, which would only make sense if Earth had accomplished space travel in the story...

antibiotictab Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Spoiler It's interesting to hear the Cosmo Reverse System also have an undesirable side reaction like other new technologies have. In short, the good and the bad aspects. Kiman call the latter the "Anti-Gravity Singular Point," the darkness the Earth grabs secretly. And the Andromeda and other fleets relate to it. Quote

Sounds like you have that SOC? I never got it, so I'd like another shot at it. Plus, I get the feeling that another SOC will have the improvements for the Andromeda in 2202. But you're right-if they released the Dreadnought that would be epic... Quote

Spoiler Hijikata doesn't allow the investigation to the Remains of the ancient Aquarius to the researcher, but any more explanation of the reasons why has not been done. Yuki is suffering because she doesn't know who herself is. She visits to Dr. Sado's house and asks him for advice. He tells her she loves Kodai and they know it's what she is. That's enough. After listening to that, she is relieved. The Garmillons including Kiman tell Kodai about The Planet Teresato and Teresa in their Base on the Moon. And Kiman invites him to the Earth. And they go to a certain area where human beings can live only 1 hour even in the special suits. They found a large faculty and Kiman called it's the "darkness"; the reaction of the Cosmo Reverse System. And there are some new battleships with Wave Motion Guns. Kiman explained the overview, but has not the details including the facility they looked at yet. This is what I know according to this preview and the latest trailer. Quote
Dobber Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Dreadnought is out, I just got my payment request from HLJ. For those of you that missed the preorder they may have some in stock now or soon. Chris Quote
westfall Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 CHAPTER 2 IS AMAZING!!! I hardly understood a word but still, this is one amazing work of art. Quote
myk Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 You went to Japan to see it? Awesome. How much ship porn was there? Quote
westfall Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Nope. I saw it in one of the official streaming sites. Ship Porn? Well, let's just say this is as hardcore as it gets. XD Some beautiful 3D animation. The shot at the start of episode 4 is like the camera was making love to Yamato. Beautiful. XDDD Quote
wm cheng Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 That's the best part of Star Trek the Motion Picture, when the Enterprise first gets revealed in space dock - NOW THAT"S SHIP PORN. If this is like that, then I'm in heaven. Quote
myk Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Well, I'll ashamedly admit that I'm waiting for the usual streaming sites to get these episodes... Quote
skaianDestiny Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Summary of chapter 2 from macdawson on Animesuki. Episode 3 Continues from what we see in the 12 minute preview, with Keyman explaining the nature of the mysterious shipyard facility. There is mention of a phenomenon called "Dance of Time" and presumably, even with those special suits, humans can only live inside the singularity for a maximum of one hour. Can't really give any more detail without subs. Sanada visits Niimi at the hospital and tells her Kodai has discovered the secret of the "Dance of Time" and has decided to take action over the vision that Yamato's crew had. He flashes back to Hijikata departing due to his disapproval of the UNCF's plans. When Sanada defends the need for Earth to arm itself, Kodai punches him (the aggression is inferred, as it happens after a fade to black, but we hear Tokugawa telling him to stop and Yuki screaming his name). Todo declines Kodai's request to investigate Telezart. But Sanada and the rest of the command staff support his decision and they decide to go anyway. Shima seems less convinced. Planet 11 comes under attack by Nazca's fleet. After a conversation in Yamato's elevator, Kodai tells Yuki he wants her to stay on Earth. Though she accepts, she runs off, leaving her engagement ring with Kodai. The colony is relentlessly bombarded. Saito and Nagakura barely manage to save Santa and the kids and run for cover. The episode ends with the colony being bombarded. Episode 4: In Okita's quarters aboard Yamato, Kodai and Sanada go over the plan to escape Earth. Sanada relinquishes command to Kodai, making him the ship's captain. A strike force heads for the Yamato's dome but the ship is gone, having apparently been moved underground. Kodai is in the WMG's firing gate, asking Okita for guidance and sees the captain once again. The crew arrive at the site of the underground dock, using Kirishima as a submarine. The crew goes ashore and into trucks, which are then taken underground. This is watched by Shima from afar. Having finaly determined Yamato's location, Serizawa wants to move in on them but Todo wants to talk them out of it before any action is taken. Serizawa accepts but has the battle satellite readied just in case. All the crew seems to have answered the call, except Shima. Ota is not thrilled to become the ship's navigator. Todo calls in and gives the Yamato's crew an ultimatum to stand down. Kodai has the message relayed shipwide, so the crew can hear it. He then urges everyone to decide what they want to do. Everyone stands by their decision and preparations continue. Kodai relieves Ota and takes the helm. Just then, the main dock control room is destroyed. Yamazaki tells Kodai that without it, they can't flood the dock or open the main sea gate. He offers himself to go up to the secondary control room and get it online to operate the system from there. Troops come in and begin their assault. Nanbu uses one of the pulse lasers to detonate charges placed in crates throughout the dock. Yamazaki, Kiryu, Hoshina and Mizaki manage to start the system but are cut off from Yamato by the soldiers and the rising water. Enomoto urges Saijo to close the access hatch, as water is coming in and the others will have to be left behind. Suddenly, one of the troopers comes out of the water. Yamato leaves the dock as the trooper reaches the bridge and reveals himself to be Shima. He takes the controls and Yamato takes off. The battle satellite is destroyed quickly and Yamato leaves Earth. Serizawa decides Yamato must be hunted down. Andromeda and her fleet are seen near Jupiter. Episode 5: On the Moon, Makoto looks over an excited Tsubase, when she spots Kato. He tells her Yamato has left Earth but he can't go with them. The Andromeda fleet begins a massive exercise. Apollo Norm launches her fighters and the Dreadnoughts fire their cannons. Yamamoto, Shinohara and a few more pilots use this moment to abandon formation and fly to the rendaz-vous point to meet Yamato. Fighters from the Apollo Norm are sent in pursuit. Captain Yamanami is warned of the situation. Yamato approached the asteroid belt and Sanada asks Analyzer to search for an R&D file. On the Moon, Kato watches over his sleeping hailing son. Makoto tells him to go to Yamato, as he won't be happy if he's not flying. He hugs her and prepares to leave. The rogue pilots are under attack until a white Czvarke, piloted by Keyman, detonates a special jamming device which leaves the Apollo Norm's planes powerless. On the Moon, Ambassador Baler tries to convince Todo of the righteousness of Yamato's actions. In his cabin, Yamanami drinks a cup of tea and talks to a painting of Okita, wondering what the old captain would think of all this. He receives orders to pursue Yamato. Andromeda leaves the fleet to search for the renegade ship. As Yamato dives deeper into the asteroid field, Sanada and Tokugawa find the devices they were looking for. Saijo spots fighters on radar and Yamato goes on alert. Yamamoto makes a close pass to Yamato's briddge and Kodai recognizes her style. The pilots are welcomed aboard, as well as Keyman, who insists on tagging along for the duration of the journey. Andromeda is spotted. Yamanami demands they stand down but Kodai refuses. The graviton cannons cause massive subspace detonations that rock Yamato. Sanada has the ship fire the devices which cling on to the nearby asteroids. Andromeda fires at the asteroids. From the smoke and dust rises a massive "asteroid ship". The defense system manages to divert the Andromeda's fire until they're close enough to try and make a run for it. Yamanami doesn't back down and the ships collide head on. The Wave-Motion Barriers are all that prevent actual contact, pushing each other aside. Yamanami is impressed. Before anything else can be done, Todo and the higher ups of the UNCF call off the pursuit. Convinced by Baler of Telezart's importance, the Earth Federation president has decided to authorize Yamato's mission. Yamazaki and the others are released and Kato leaves the Moon on a booster assisted Cosmo Tiger II. Andromeda sends fighters to Yamato to replenish its numbers, along with Okita's portrait, which is hung in Yamato's bridge. Kato catches up with Yamato and looking at his family's photo, swears to make it back. Yamato moves on. The long journey begins. Episode 6: A ship float dead in space. Inside is Nagakura, injured. Suddenly, the noise of cutting tools wakes her from her slumber. We flash back to the attack on Planet 11. Needle Slaves have massacred civilians, wherever they find them. A young Garmillan girl cries as she looks at the street, littered with bodies. A Needle Slave spots her and prepares to strike but its shot down by Nagakura. They hide as more Slaves patrol. The little girl says she lost track of her brother. As they go down the wrecked city streets, she stops and says "Yamato". Nagakura looks and sees a Yamato model lying on the ground. Next to it, a hand sticks out from under the rubble. Its the girl's brother, unfortunately dead. Nagakura consoles her. As the sun rises, more Needle Slaves pursue a group of survivors. Gen, one of Saito's men, takes them on. A wounded soldier detonates and kills him, just after he warns Saito of the danger. Saito sees the explosion as he shepherds survivors to an underground shelter. On the command centre, Hijikata tries to reason with Nazca but to no avail. The roof collapses on him and his staff. Unable to call for help, due to the enemy jamming, Saito decides to use an escape boat to send someone off world and get help. Nagakura protests when she's chosen, thinking Saito is sending her for being a woman, but he says she's the only one that can operate the damned thing. She reluctantly accepts, as Tochiro and Kurata, the rest of the "Moon survivors", smile. They take on the attackers to allow Nagakura to take off. Once in orbit, the boat warps. Back to present time, the cutting is revealed to be done by Enomoto's men, and they take Nagakura aboard Yamato. The data she gathered before warping reveals a large fleet, blocking the planet. Todo refuses to authorize the rescue mission, as reaching Telezart takes priority. But Kodai decides that "that woman" deserves help, refering to Nagakura. They decide to make a warp straight into the planet's atmosphere. This will allow them to bypassthe blockade and mask their warp signature from the UNCF, at least long enough to avoid immediate trouble with command. The con is that the stress of warping into a gravity well on the system will cause them to lose shock cannons and Wave-Motion Barrier. Despite Kato's protests, Keyman joins the air group. Yamato warps to Planet 11. Saito wakes up on a bridge. The woman we saw in episode 3 runs to him with the young Garmillan girl, as Needle Slaves surround them. Saito sees no way out. The oung girl says her brother told her Yamato would come if they were in danger. Saito is about to say otherwise... when Yamato warps out above them. Akira takes out the enemy bots and the air wing takes on the attacking ships. Yamato descends on the crevasse and anchors itself allowing the survivors to board through bridge 3. A Yamamoto damages a Kukulkan, but the ship splits its top hull from the underside and goes straight for Yamato. Yamato takes off and manages to avoid impact, but another Kukulkan positions itself above them and fires. Trapped in the crevasse, Kodai fires missiles and Type 3 shells and shoots the enemy down. When victory seems at hand, 6 Kalaklum-class battleships warp out in orbit. The ships converge and combine their attack rings. Commanded by Zordar, they fire a concentrated beam of energy that lights the skies, cutting across the crevasse. Yamato is seen flying right into the beam's path. Kato, Yamaoto and Keyman look at the destruction bellow and wonder if Yamato has met its end. That's it. Sorry for the length. Some events are described as I currently understand them. Hopefully, subs will come soon. Edited June 26, 2017 by skaianDestiny Quote

TangledThorns Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 On a related Yamato note I received the Battleships Yamato and Musashi (Anatomy of The Ship) book yesterday.
