LIVE ACTION YAMATO!!!

[Logan Darklighter]

Remember this post where I said:

"Aside from the obvious animation style in the brief character shots of Captain Avatar/Okita and Wildstar/Kodai, I'd say this is proof positive that
an absolutely STRAIGHT live action version of Star Blazers/Uchu Senkan Yamato would be THE BOMB!!! "

That bomb is about to be dropped:



Just a teaser trailer, but even so - WOW.

I never expected it would get imported, but I found a Blu-Ray of this film at Best-Buy last night. Gonna have a good time!

Cool! How about that?
The movie is a bit of a mash-up of Iscandar and Comet Empire plot threads, and what they did to the Gamilons and Iscandar was just plain WEIRD. And Yuki gets the Kara Starbuck "tough chick" treatment that they reserved for Akira Yamamoto in the recent anime. I suspect more than a little of "Nu-BSG" influence behind the scenes. 

Nevertheless, a fun time with no alcohol required!
