First - look at the ORIGINAL 1974 opening credits in the first video. Then the NEW Yamato 2199 remake!
IMHO, the opening credits by Hideaki Anno are full of win! Every attempt
is made to keep it as close as possible to the original show's opening -
down to sound effects, camera shots, etc. Wave-Motion Gun is quite
arse-kicking. There is a shot of the ship and planes flying over
Jupiter's moon Europa - could they be replacing Titan with Europa? And,
of course, welcome back Isao Sasaki - we missed you!
(EAR SLAM WARNING - The sound quality on the original isn't quite the best it could be. It starts off a little low and then gets LOUD with a touch of feedback. Careful if you are wearing headphones!):
