A New, New ... err New remake of Space Battleship Yamoto coming to JP Theatres

Let's remake the remake of a remake that started it all. Another new Space Battleship Yamoto TV show and film is nearly out (2012-04-07) and it looks really amazing. From the teaser trailer that's currently streaming on Amazon.co.jp (and swiped by some good Youtuber) ... it seems that the 3D look of the previous film remake has been updated to look more like the traditional animation. This most likely stems from the Yutaka Izubuchi the Chief Director on the project who worked on the mechanical designs and scifi ideas from older renditions of the franchise.


The April 7 film is actually the first two episodes of the new television series, combined into one theatrical preview screening about 50 minutes long. I don't know if I would go to a theater to watch what I could be watching at home on Blu-Ray days later but I can understand the appeal. Check of the trailer below and think back to better times filled with hollow shouts of ..."ISCANDAR!!!"I can never get tired of those classic early 20th Century battleship designs.
