There’s one revelation around three episodes from the end that blew my mind, and I said to myself that this is the perfect show it’s a ten out of ten for sure. This tension in Gamilan society also plays heavily into how the story develops. One of the reasons that they try to destroy humanity is because they didn’t surrender and become part of the Gamilan Empire. They have a structured society built on class, an elite race leading conquered species that they consider second class citizens. It also helps that we really get to explore the Gamilan society, and learn that they are not all of a piece. The way the story develops there are plenty of secrets under the surface, and there are so many twists and revelations that you do stay hooked right to the end. This is one area where the show really excels for the most part. I guess I have space opera check discs stretching into the future too.
#STAR BLAZERS FLEET BATTLE SYSTEM SERIES#
The 2199 TV series was made in 2012, and Manga are releasing it in its entirety, and five years later it spun-off the 2202 sequel, again getting a release from Manga this year, albeit in two halves. The franchise took one hell of a hiatus though, not coming back into the limelight until that live action movie, and maybe that was the impetus behind this modern day anime remake. The franchise is older even than that, dating back to the first TV series from 1974, which itself spun off sequel series and animated films well into the nineteen eighties. Then again, Space Battleship Yamato has pedigree and longevity that the original Heroic Age project didn’t have, while Manga Entertainment have previous with this franchise too, having released the 2010 live action film seven years ago. So I go from the comparatively disappointing Heroic Age to this, Star Blazers – Space Battleship Yamato 2199, risking genre fatigue in the process. Introduction From one space opera to another! Normally I like a little variety in my review discs, but at this point in the lockdown, as the review discs continue to dry up, beggars can’t be choosers.
