Trivia:

In order to provide funding for the series, the producers sold the right of their series to any company that was willing to gamble on their show (a common practice even now). Bandai purchased the license to make Yamato model kits; Nippon Columbia purchased the license to sell Yamato music; and most importantly, three major publishers (Akita Shoten, Tokuma Shoten, and Asahi Sonorama) signed on for the manga rights - all three got practically identically rights (even for that time, and would never be tolerated these days). more

STAR BLAZERS is born, 19 August 2000
Author: Pro Jury



Recently the original two hour SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO movie was shown at a local university. Watching it offered more questions than answers in pondering how the 120 minute movie was edited into the first STAR BLAZERS series. What stands to memory is that STAR BLAZERS had its storyline given more detail and enrichment. However, either version is fun to watch.

The story, the music, the space battles, the animation... the two words to describe it is PURE FUN!

Enthralled, simply enthralled watching the STAR BLAZERS TV series for the first time 20 years ago. I have seen a fair number of Japanese cartoon series and no characters remain as vivid and real as the crew of the Argo.
