ok… now it’s really strange that I tripped over Star Blazers / Yamato | I had *no idea* they came out with a new one just a few days ago in Japan? I guess it’s Yamato 2202 ? Anyway, it’s a continuation of the storyline I think.
I’m used to coincidences at one level – at the same time, it’s a creepy + awesome feeling at the same time.

I mentioned earlier today (or yesterday?) about not wanting to get hooked on things because it ‘sticks’ when I do too much? Well this is one of them. Star Blazers / Yamato. Saw it as a kid. Didn’t follow it through the years much, but I would occasionally. Now I find out they made another one that I *think* got released three days ago in Japan? I can’t tell yet.
Anyway, it’s just a strange/interesting feeling to forget about something for a long time and find out that just when you take a look back, someone has been bringing it forward at the same time.

Strange thing is, I’m familiar enough with the storyline from way back when that I don’t think I’d need English to understand it. They used the SAME retro cartoon style from way back when (with slight upgrades) so I’d recognize everybody.

映画劇場版 宇宙戦艦ヤマト復活編
I think I figured it out. There’s a _new_ Star Blazers series! Looks like this is the first episode, released just three days ago. I think it is… anyway what’s awesome about this to me is: I haven’t been following the fandom and had no idea about this coming yet here it is.
What’s great about this is that you don’t need to know what they’re saying to know what’s going on. [war and heavy emotions are very readable].
It’s in the same basic style as the one from 30 years ago with a few updates. It’s awesome to suddenly find myself back into something I thought was long past.
