Where/how?Watched this tonight. I was pretty happy with it overall. The visuals were very true to the series. Obviously they couldn't fit the entire plot into a single movie so some changes there.
Only complaint was while the special effects looked pretty good, there were a lot of times they encountered Gamilas ships but they never actually show them. Saving on special effects I guess.
If you're a fan of the original, and/or of the animated reboot, I think the live action is worth watching.

Thanks, just ordered it.http://www.amazon.com/Space-Battleship-Yamato-Movie-Blu-ray/dp/B00HXEWECI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1419133197&sr=8-4&keywords=star+Blazers
Right here on Amazon. Just ordered it myself. I grew up watching the original series. Used to watch this at 6:30 in the morning along with Adam West's Batman and the original Spiderman cartoons (you know the one with the famous song, Spiderman, Spiderman does whatever a spider can...)
I used to watch it in the morning as well. Went back and tried to watch the original animation again as an adult and... oof it was rough to sit through. Definitely check out the new animated one if you haven't yet.http://www.amazon.com/Space-Battleship-Yamato-Movie-Blu-ray/dp/B00HXEWECI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1419133197&sr=8-4&keywords=star+Blazers

Can also just view them streaming for those who don't want to deal with peer to peer stuff.I have seen this movie 3 times with my daughter and we love it. We are both big fans of the old Star Blazers.
For anyone who likes the old Star Blazers and likes this live action movie, I highly recommend you watch Space Battleship Yamato 2199. It is a retelling of the classic storyline from Star Blazers Season One but with all updated animated graphics (it was made in 2012).
26 total episodes, some new characters(more females) and plot lines and over all was extremely well done.

I don't think the show is available on commercial sites. Every episode is here (see link below), the subtitles are just average though from what little I have sampled.Streaming on Netflix, Amazon or what?Can also just view them streaming for those who don't want to deal with peer to peer stuff.I have seen this movie 3 times with my daughter and we love it.

For what seemed like years (but was just months) when I was a kid, this was the entire world to me. I drew Yamatos and Black Tiger fighters and Gamalon ships in school every day.
Yes, I'm not sure which site I watched it off of, but just google the show name and "streaming" and you'll find multiple sites streaming it for free.

Awesome to hear. Someone else first made me aware of the new series and the live action in a TV show thread, so glad the bump paid it forward.We've been watching this all day.

4th Space Battleship Yamato 2202 Anime Film Previewed in 60-Second Video
posted on 2017-12-15 14:15 EST
4th film in 7-part series opens January 27
The official website for the Uchū Senkan Yamato 2202: Ai no Senshi-tachi (Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love or Star Blazers 2202: Warriors of Love) anime sequel project began streaming a 60-second promotional video for the fourth film, subtitled "Tenmei-hen" (Karma Chapter), on Friday. The website previously streamed a 30-second version.
The film will open in 29 theaters in Japan on January 27, 2018 and run for three weeks. Certain digital outlets will stream the film starting on the same day for a fee. Similarly to the previous films, the theaters screening the film will sell a limited-edition Blu-ray Disc. The normal Blu-ray Disc and DVD release will ship on February 23, and digital rentals will start on March 28.
New cast members include:
Kouichi Yamadera as Desler
Kouki Uchiyama as Miru
In the fourth film, the crew of the Yamato suspect that there is a spy on board. The Yamato also reaches Telezart after many trials, but a defense fleet led by Gorand, as well as survival land war division are waiting for them.
The project is a seven-part theatrical anime project, and the first film, subtitled "Kōshi-hen" (Starting Chapter), premiered in Japan on February 25. The second film, subtitled "Hasshin-hen" (Departure Chapter), opened in Japan on June 24. The third film, subtitled "Junai-hen" (Pure Love Chapter), opened in Japan on October 14.
The anime's story is set in the year 2202, three years after the Yamato's return from the planet Iscandar. The people of Earth restored their planet with the Cosmo Reverse System, and they signed a peace treaty with Garmillas. In addition to reconstruction, Earth developed a new defense fleet that includes the state-of-the-art battleship Andromeda. The Earth goes down a path of military expansion, despite Starsha Iscandar's wishes. The Yamato helps accomplish this so-called peace, but it comes at the price of many invaluable sacrifices. The goddess Teresa, who prays for tranquility in space, calls the Yamato to a new voyage. The threat of Gatlantis is sweeping over the universe and approaching Earth.
Nobuyoshi Habara (Fafner and Fafner EXODUS director, episode director and storyboard writer for Star Blazers 2199) is directing the new anime, and Harutoshi Fukui (Mobile Suit Gundam UC original novel writer, screenplay for Harlock: Space Pirate) is writing and overseeing the scripts. The late Yoshinobu Nishizaki is credited with the original work, and his son Shoji Nishizaki (Star Blazers 2199 planning, producer for Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection) is the executive producer. Additionally, Makoto Kobayashi is serving as assistant director, and Junichirō Tamamori and Yasushi Ishizu are the mechanical designers. Nobuteru Yuki is the character designer, and Akira Miyagawa is composing the music.
I will look around and see what I can find.So there's a 2nd season that's out for it, Uchuu Senken Yamato 2202 / Space Battleship Yamato 2202. Can't find any blu rays available with English subtitles or voice.
I have found episodes 1-6 and 10 online with English subs, and found 7 and 8 but only with Portuguese subtitles. Anyone know a site that sells or streams it? @NewlyRetired?
Also, there is another film coming out of what is a 7 part series, though like the rest probably only releasing in Japan.
Yup - legit, legal, etc. Ad supported (non-skippable commercials 2-3x an episode), unless you pay.P.S. is Crunchy Roll good/safe?
Edit: I see that Funimation carries the first series and episode 1 of the second series. Any experiences with this? It's $6/month and is Chromecast-compatible. Seems enticing.
my daughter loves crunchy roll. We pay the small monthly fee.P.S. is Crunchy Roll good/safe?
