I have dreamt of a live-action movie of this show my whole life, and here it is at last.

**Soladrin**

Never heard of it. I will say this.

Needs more Mecha "runs away"

**Frazzled**

Is that the Yamato as in "Fire the Main Gun!" Star Blazers Yamato?

**sqir666**

Yes!

It's about time.

**Mr. Burning**

Cant view the vid.

Please tell me that the Yamato is brought up from the depths and refitted to fight amongst the stars.

**Frazzled**

Looks like it.

**Mr. Burning**

Awesome.

Missouri, Iowa whos the daddy of battleships now?

**Frazzled**

If your saying to battleships "who's your daddy!" Wouldn't it be this guy?

Nah! Overrated floating parking lots the lot of em!

**Frazzled**

Tell that to the Yamato, Bismark, Tirpitz, and Arizona...

I meant the carriers. Gotta have a soft spot for multigun multi '0000 tonnage ships.

**dogma**

He did too. The Yamato, Bismark, and Arizona were all sunk by planes launched from aircraft carriers. The Tirpitz was sunk by land-based Lancaster bombers.

yeah...being pretty dense tonight.

But it took around 13 missions to get the job done on Tirpitz. Midget subs, dive bombers, attacks on the drydocks finally the Lancaster attack in '44.

Clearly it was the cunning camouflage that protected her.

**dogma**

You'll fly the Swordfish and like it!

**Wraithlordmechanic**

Silly japanese and their WWII space ships...

Wrong Frazz

Carriers are the QUEENS of the fleet, get your gender right before posting here. Oh man

What an outrageous mistake! The US Navy is going to set the Corgis of War on you landlubber!.

**Frazzled**

I for welcome my new Corgi Battlemasters, and Austin Weiner Command salutes their maritime prowess.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

We're off to outer space, we're leaving Mother Earth

To save the human race. Our Star Blazers!

Searching for a distant star, heading off to Iscandar.

Leaving all we love behind, who knows what dangers we'll find?

We must be strong and brave, our home we've got to save.

If we don't, in just one year, Mother Earth will disappear

Fighting with the Gamalons, we won't stop until we've won

Then we'll return, and when we arrive,

The Earth will survive with our Star Blazers!

Needs more English language.

Watched star blazers as a kid and loved it... hope it does well and they do a comet empire sequel.

**Jihadnik**

Oh, My, God, where did this come from, where can I buy it, I loved that show when I was a kid, but I could never remember what it was called, and now theres a funky Japanese movie version.

That's my ultimate fantasy ship, gimme, gimme, gimme!

**KingCracker**

Man that movie looks awesome! If it has subtitles at least, Ill totally buy that one

**FM Ninja 048**

Not usually a fan of the battleships in space look, but I am soo gonna buy this if it has english subtitles.

**Miguelsan**

Opens Dec 2010 in Japan. So you´ll have to wait.

**focusedfire**

Thank you so much for posting this. I believe that my Avatar says everything else.

@Jihanik-The names were Space Battleship Yamato in Japan and Star Bblazers in the US

**Jihadnik**

Star Blazers, awesome. I've been humming the song for years and now I remember where its from!

Cheers mate!

**Miguelsan**

More Spaceship Yamato stuff (but not from the movie)

I simply cannot wait to see this. I am a huge Star Blazers fans and I really hope they do the whole series of cartoons in RL action. I simply must see the Comet Empire and the EDF duke it out at the battle of Saturn's Rings. Bring me the EDF Andromeda!
