Mad Props to anyone who can recognize what this is:



(Diane doesn't count - she forwarded it to me.)

Due to be released in Japan on Dec. 10th, 2010.  11 months (plus however long to translate / subtitle / torrent it) can't pass soon enough...

Dude!!
Star Blazers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agggghhhhhh

I watched this sh*t when I was like 7!

Whatever it is, it is horrible, sort of like the Clutch Cargo series when I was a child.

I got one of my first jobs due to my knowledge of this show.  I worked for an anime store long ago... and the boss had a quiz for his employees.  I got the bonus questions as it was about Star Blazers.  Space Battleship Yamato (aka Starblazers) was an awesome show.  Nice to see a live action remake.

The Yamato!! Yep, I watched Starblazers, and just about every other anime show that aired here when I was growing up.

Now, the real Yamato (and sister ship, Mushashi) were worth fighting.  I played the space game - once.
