Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Yes more Yamato, I hope Arizona appears. Quote
Keith Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Still need to see the second half of 2202, but I'm up for it. ALSO! I am officially apologizing posthumously to Nishizaki for Yamato Rebirth. I honestly thought he was insane for having the bad guy be the Space American President who was actually The Space Devil who bullied The Space U.N. into the genocide of The Space Middle East. As it turns out, he was just years ahead of his time. Quote
Thom Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) 2202 wasn't as good as 2199. The visuals were amazing though. Really hoping 2205 is at least equal to the first season. At the moment, I'm just hoping a new season will uncork Bandai's Space Battleship Yamato model line. And I mean 1/1000 and 1/72, not the tiny mechacolle stuff. Edited September 3, 2019 by Thom Quote
kalvasflam Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 It is going to be a Desler focused story? New Voyages was that, but wonder what this will be like. Quote
Keith Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 With that title it'll almost certainly be a tangle with The Dark Nebule Empire. Quote

Judging from some early production designs shown by Fukui at the Yamato 2202 Concert this week, that is certainly the case. Quote
TehPW Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 any details on the previous version of the DNE? Quote

Sandman Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 So can't they get the 2199 director to come back? Quote
TehPW Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-02-03/space-battleship-yamato-2205-anime-debuts-next-winter/.156069?fbclid=IwAR07ctyu5IrfQUZQrNTz4o8MSv-wOs6a_cQ8bqhvyhZIt3jM4EST7PEFQxk found this on my FB feed this morning. I'll admit... I didn't fully understand the verbiage (I guess the use of the word 'Project' seems to be the cause). But a comment struck me as curious (clearly the poster knows some of the guts that created 2199 & 2202): "Is Yutaka Izubuchi (出淵裕) back in charge? Otherwise no much hope". Edited February 5, 2020 by TehPW clarification Quote
Dynaman Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I don't see the writer having any listing with 2199, only 2202. That makes me nervous. Quote
westfall Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Yutaka Izubushi is not coming back for 2205. The general director for the project has already been announced. As for keeping Fukui as the writer... my main problem is that he does go for grand story telling and spectacle but stuff happens and he doesn't necessarily let you know how and he uses characters to move the plot along without concern for focusing in them. 2199 was character driven, while 2202 was plot driven. As Gwyn Campbel pointed in his podcast "the characters were just mouthpieces for the plot", pawns in a game only Fukui is envisioning. And admitedly, the mecha action was a bit too bloated. Hopefully 2205 will dial that down. Quote
Dynaman Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 That is a a perfect summation of what went wrong with 2202. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I guess I'm in the minority for liking 2202, huh? Edited June 23, 2020 by Kyp Durron Quote

I think its an entertaining adventure and certainly an exciting exercise in terms of eye candy. But some elements and Fukui's afore mentioned writing style did put it a few notches below 2199, IMHO. Some people, however, have taken a more radical stance and a lot of hate seems to percolate among some of the fandom. Quote

Kyp Durron Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) LOL. I am curious, what will the 2205 Yamato look like? Will it still be in final battle configuration from 2202? One thing that I did not like was the AA guns on the main shock cannons themselves. I could immediately see issues with that, and an online review of the 1/1000 bandai kit proved me right. If you try doing a broad side, and you turn those turrets, the gun barrels will clip the AA turrets. Very bad design choice, IMO. Even Bandai seemed to be aware of it as they give you an option to build the pre-final battle shock cannons, LOL. I'm guessing this is part of the reason Bandai didn't release an SOC final battle version. I'm hoping the 2205 Yamato will atleast delete those AA guns off the shock cannons. Speaking of SOC, I wonder why Bandai didn't release a 2202 Andromeda? Seems like that would have sold really well. Edited June 25, 2020 by Kyp Durron Quote
Kyp Durron Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Found these on Facebook from Google searching Space Battleship Yamato 2205 mecha : Not sure how legit they are though... Quote
Dynaman Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 The EDF has always had some problems with ship layout and arc of fire. The main guns can't fire straight forward on the Andromeda (or Yamato) for instance. Quote

You're right for the most part, I'm not sure about Yamato's second main shock cannone, but Yamato's smaller 3rd shock cannon behind it can fire straight forward and will clear the top of Yamato's bow. The second main shock cannon is too close for me to be able to tell, and I've got the GX-86 right here in front of me. *Edit* after looking at it carefully, I think the second main shock cannons can clear Yamato's front bow, but just barely.

Yamato was back to its standard configuration, after it was repaired in the time fault and sent to retrieve Kodai and Yuki from Teresa's dimension. As for those sketches, they were made for the PS2 game adaptations of the Dark Nebula arc. The artist who made them is well known among Macross fans but his name illudes me at the moment.

The name's Kazutaka MIYATAKE (Wikipedia, ANN, forbes.com) -- b. 1949, a founding member of Studio Nue, designer of the Macross. Designs from this series are regularly posted by Yamato superfan Tim Eldred to the "Our Star Blazers.com/Cosmo DNA" Facebook community page. The PS2 games are detailed on the Cosmo DNA fansite. Not a lot of images of the ships, though, if you wanted to compare Miyatake's busy designs to the limitations of low-poly tex-mapped models. Quote

I won't say that I hate it, but my enthusiasm for 2202 literally stalled the same moment the Yamato did when whatshisface sabotaged the wave motion engine. And that same enthusiasm literally drifted towards oblivion like the ship did, lol... Quote
