The website for the upcoming anime theatrical movie and TV Series adaptation of Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers in the U.S.) titled Space Battleship Yamato 2199 just went live
This new Yamato series will premiere on April 7, 2012 in Japan.
The official Yamato Crew membership website confirmed on Saturday that
the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 anime project is a television series in
addition to the previously revealed film. (Membership is required to
view the page.) The April 7 film is actually the first two episodes of
the new television series, combined into one theatrical preview
screening about 50 minutes long. It will play in 10 theaters throughout
Japan.
The basic story of Yamato 2199 is the same as the first Yamato anime set
in 2199, but Yutaka Izubuchi (RahXephon), the 52-year-old animator who
worked on mechanical designs and science-fiction concepts on some of the
earlier projects in the franchise, is serving as chief director.
Yoshinobu Nishizaki, the late producer of the franchise, is credited
with the original story. Nobuteru Yuki (Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss
War) is designing the characters, and the anime studios XEBEC and AIC
are producing the anime. Mechanical designer Makoto Kobayashi (Giant
Robo, Last Exile, Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection) revealed at
Anime Expo in July that he is working on a Yamato remake for next year.
You can watch the trailer for this new animated TV Series at YouTube.
