10 Minutes of Badass Star Blazery
The Space Battleship Yamato remake/movie doesn’t premiere in Japan for a couple of weeks, but that didn’t stop Bandai from putting this 10-minute clip of Yamato 2199 online. It’s pretty gorgeous, and I imagine any Yamato/Star Blazers fan is losing his/her mind with joy right now, and justifiably so. If you’re not a Yamato/Star Blazers fan, however, but just want to a real awesome space battle, I’d give it a watch anyways. Thanks to Steve H. for the tip.
