Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (宇宙戦艦ヤマト2199) is a 2012-2013 remake of the original Space Battleship Yamato series.
Plot
In the year 2199, Earth has been reduced to a radioactive desert through years of bombardment by an alien species from the planet Garmillas, its space forces have been hopelessly outclassed, and the few remaining survivors have taken shelter in underground cities. Queen Starsha of Iscandar delivers a message of hope to humanity, offering them a device that will restore Earth's ruined biosphere and plans for a wave motion engine. The plans are used to build a new and heavily armed vessel capable of crossing intergalactic space for the device in the short time that remains--the space battleship Yamato.
Behind the Scenes
Although Space Battleship Yamato 2199 was produced as a twenty-six episode television series, it was initially released in a series of seven weekend theatrical releases across Japan beginning on April 7, 2012, with each release consisting of two to four episodes each. Following each of these releases, the episodes were distributed on DVD and BluRay. The seres began its television run on Family Gekijo exactly one year after the first episode's theatrical debut.[1][2][3]
A retrospective film covering the first twenty-six episodes, Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Voyage of Remembrance, debuted on October 11, 2014. An original movie set after Yamato departs from Iscandar, Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Odyssey of the Celestial Ark, premiered on December 6, 2014.[4][5][6]
The series was released in 2014 in the United States as Star Blazers 2199, initially with English and Spanish subtitles of Japanese content; English dubbing and subtitles in other languages are planned for subsequent releases.[7][8]
