Felix Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Volume 2 of Funimation's 2199 set is up for preorder. Release date is 11/06/18. Quote
Protoculture Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Its all depends on personal acceptance. Yamato 2199 is great, Yamato 2202 is good enough follow up for me. Quote
TangledThorns Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Hmm, may break down and buy the Blu-Rays if there is a Black Friday special. Quote
myk Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but...where did they find all of the people to man all of those ships of the EDF? Wasn't the population of earth reduced to a fraction of what it was before the planet bombs? Did the time fault allow for the remaining population to have lots and lots of sex and thus adequately crew the fleet in just three years? Finally, where are the Chogokin DN and Andromeda toys?

Earth's fleet was sizable, just outclassed by the Gamilus. I'd still say the fleet is feasible Quote

AI would be my guess... or lots of automation that renders a typical crew requirement mute, thus you only need a skeleton crew to man a DN or CG. This matters especially because the fleet was probably planned for system defense, not conquest or exploration. That might be a theme for the next series, when you consider how the original third series/season went about. I'm pretty convinced that all the WMG fire (or the Time Fault itself) will cause environmental problems for earth... or they did the Iron Womb route and 3d printed kids aka The Clans of Battletech...

Beltane70 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 If I remember correctly, the Andromeda and the rest of the EDF ships were largely automated in the original Yamato 2. Quote
TangledThorns Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 My wife doesn't know what to get me more for my birthday so I suggested the special edition blu-ray set. I posted before that I'm done with buying blu-rays but the set comes with streaming and I can share the blu-rays with my friends and family. Quote

mechaninac Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Looks cool enough, but I already have the SOP and the 2199 versions, so this is an easy pass for me... more mullah left over for Macross stuff. Quote
TangledThorns Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 I want it... But can't justify spending that much money for it Quote
GabrielV Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 I'm good with my 2199 version. I just need an Andromeda to go with it. Quote
TehPW Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 NERD-GASM! OK questions! Pink is the new Gamalas? Allderan rocking (until the head shave to their bridge. someone call secondary conn: they got helm control) but are they a sub faction of the Cosmo Navy? Who is crewing them? Quote

Allderan rocking (until the head shave to their bridge. someone call secondary conn: they got helm control) but are they a sub faction of the Cosmo Navy? Who is crewing them? OMG, we're now spamming Andromedas... frakk YEAH, who needs DNs when we can spam Andromedas.... I think I counted something like a dozen Andromedas. Which makes sense given how many we saw in the last episode. Gamillas Andromedas, and is that Berger? Wow, so, they weren't kidding when they said Gamilas got provided with Andromeda class carriers. A new color scheme on the Andromeda, which shortly gets another sword through the bridge. Hmm, is it even the same Andromeda? I think that ship is the Andromeda, note the name on the side of the bridge... could be an indication that this is an Andromeda class ship. It is kind of a nerd-gasm, this is starting to feel like Michael Bay Transformers, throw in a bunch of stuff that could be anything, and hope people don't notice. For example, why are there DNs attached to the left side of each Andromedas? They are gluing ships on now? If so, why not the right side? Or may be there is, and we don't see a picture of it. I like my junk piles to be symmetrical please. Oh, wait, I was wrong, there are two DNs glued to each of the Andromeda, making it a super duper Andromeda. Now my sense of symmetry is satisfied. But why DNs, why not glue two Andromedas together, or may be even three of them. I wonder what it means when there are different color scheme Andromedas. In fact, I think those red ones are all Gamilas types.. But it's hard to tell. And seriously, where is Desslar. Not one image of him in this trailer. Edited September 26, 2018 by kalvasflam Quote

No way it go repaired... so, it's variant 2.0 with all new DN attachments. I guess they are taking a page out of Macross, Andromeda class, all new with DN FAST packs. It doubles as a booster and with extra guns. And the side blisters on the Andys have lots of AA guns????? The Captain seems he is going to go down with the ship... the sword must have just missed his head, it would be hilarious if it decapitated the two guys in front of him. Har har. This reminds me, that planet busting gun, what is that exactly? Is it a variant powered by the artificial sun? if so, where did the artificial sun come from? That planet it's busting looks like one of the planets in the Gatlantis bird cage. Edited September 26, 2018 by kalvasflam Quote

That's what someone on FB mentions this evening. it does makes more sense (initially I though this scene was one of the Marines). Now begs the question? Was he wearing his exposure suit already? If so, that makes me wonder if something in the region around the Galantis Mega Blooming Onion requires personnel to wear suits? I kinda doubt this since Capt. K isn't wearing a suit when he issues his commands to have Yamato rise at the end of this video... but what do I know? Quote
Thom Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Geez! That one Andie had two Dreadnoughts strapped to its sides! Gawd! Quote

The Andies that was shown attacking Gatlantis all had DNs strapped to its side... MAnKESHIFT FAST PACKS. I wonder if they can do an Alto and eject them on demand. As for the suit, I wonder if it's the same kind of suit being worn in the time fault. Perhaps that is what Gatlantis has too, you'll note that they understand the time fault trick. If we are to believe for example that their capabilities with the battleships was new at the beginning of the series, then to have as many as they did by episode 10, perhaps it's because all of Gatlantis is a gigantic time fault. They come up with the next best thing, and off they go with the battleships. Who knows, perhaps that's why the planets are there, to be used as resource sink for a massive time fault to construct warships. Big leaping conclusions here. Quote

Yes...and with voice clips so it’s pretty different from the 2199. It’s neat but I’m still not seeing enough of the white ship markings that’s missing yet again. But with that 37,800 price tag imma wait for a sale if I ever pick this up. Quote
brouken Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Ooh! An new Yamato SOC! That price though....makes me glad that I was able to score the 2199 version for USD 150. So pre-orders next week on 1 October? Edited September 28, 2018 by brouken Quote

I'm intrigued by those remote controlled turrets . Edited October 1, 2018 by brouken Quote
