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.
Not sure how I feel about Yamato. I was very unhappy with 2202.
The story made me scoff again and again, on the third anniversary of the Yamato saving the entire human race?
A mere three years later, not a single human outside the crew cares enough to pay their respects to the Yamato and her crew, at the giant-ass monument built in their honor. Literally just crew shows up, and mope about how sad they are being forgotten.
