The details of this announcement are a bit unclear to me as somebody unfamiliar with the details of the Yamato franchise. Rather than trying to make sense of the Japanese source where the visual came from, I am trying to understand an English source I found.
As best as I understand, this project, “Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199”, will consist of 7 films rather than a TV series. The first of these films will be titled “Dark Invasion” and will premiere in Japan on July 19th.
For all you Yamato fans out there, please provide me with any corrections. I ended up in a rabbit hole trying to understand this announcement. The movie is a remake of an older movie? It is a sequel to 2205? The collection of 7 films is called Rebel 3199 or is it just the first movie? Honestly, I got really confused, and I am hoping that the post can still be informative for those of you out there that are interested in the property.
