I kinda felt bad for that one guy who was enamored with Yuki

Wouldn't be surprised if Dessler's death was another fake out similar to his fake assassination. Kind of a punk way to go out, he deserves a better one with more closure

Subs released!

Omgosh Yamato became the saviour of the capital city of Garmillas, but Lord Desler appears to die on that explosion caused by the failure of Deslar Cannon. Hmm will it end this way??

Great battle and all but the ending was sort of anticlimactic. The super fortress being destroyed just came about too easily, imo.

The Captain really is fond of the Kamikaze attack, isn't he? Way to just charge into everything.

The whole defeat of the capital, destruction of the Second Gamilas was as the poster above said, rather anticlimatic. You would expect it to take longer and at a heavier price.

I'm pretty sure Desler is alive and will cause more mischief for the Yamato and it's crew.

Looks to me like Gamilas is going through a spot of regime change...

I doubt that Desler is dead yet. I'm sure it will take someone getting up close and personal before he's finally destroyed.

And I wonder, just what surprise awaits on that planet?

5/5

Too bad, only 26 minutes to tell a battle so epic it's too little, too bitter for too easily beat the enemies in sight.
Luckily we think the graphics and the battle to lift my spirits.
Pull a lever and a cannon and blow up all the space base is a bit too exaggerated.
Dessler, to what I read on blogs, has been represented in this animated transposition a little bad.
Technical and graphic very nice, too bad it is not more than the visual beauty of the epic battle and rescue quell a little too lucky, though very romantic.
Dialogues much effect, using big words that were it not for the great charisma of the characters look out of place if they were used by other characters.

Neat climax....except that it's again trying to trade on a love story that isn't actually there. This show pretends there's some romance in it, but it's just a fake.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I mean Kodai's Zero seemed way way further away from Second Balares than Yuki and the Zero was half destroyed...

Enough said though! I would not forgive this anime if Yuki died. SOOOO glad that Kodai and Yuki are together again!!!!!!! WOOOOO

Kodai x Yuki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT EPISODE!

The ship/city was moving towards Gamilas and she stayed in place, so it was pretty far away from her.

so much budget in one episode. on par with ufotable lel

gg Dessler. also yay, nice romance going on. also I'm confused as fuck, who does Akira like? so much flags with different guys. Nice ED as always.

Anyway, I expect to give this show a 10.

I cried over Norran R.I.P you were a great side character. I kinda shipped him with Yuki. xD

Yamato using the motion wave gun to destroy the descending sector and Norran sacrificing his life to stop Desler from firing onto his own people were both amazing scenes.

God dammit, they just went and repeated the one thing that ruined the old Yamato for me. But at least I give them points for not killing Dessler on screen. In the original he pretty much gets crushed to death.

Both original and remake had a desperate all out attack on the base, but this one was more "down to Earth". The original felt more intense.

Ram the palace? What the hell is wrong with this guy? Then Dessler becomes deranged out of nowhere lol.

And we all know the only reason Norran treated Yuki so nicely was because he wanted to get in her pants so I don't get the pity for the guy.

Damn epic episode! Really intense as fuck and the destruction of Deslar was quite different here, not bad or anything just different with quite an extra portion of intense action!

Let's see what the 3 last episodes will offer us.

To be honest, they would have been dead if the Gamillas wouldn't have recalled Elk the first time around. The second time was a bit weird because Yamato's small ships went full godmode and raped everything.

To be fair, the Yamato didn't kill Desler or most of the fleet here. I was kind of glad to see how the Gamillas finally started to realise what an insane leader Desler was.

Dessler really is a boring villain. I'm hoping there's some elaboration in the next few episodes regarding the relationship of Garmillas and Iscandar, and that it makes Dessler's character more interesting.

I assume it's fleshed out more in the original, since there are far more episodes.

And here you can appreciate the importance of mixing romance and weapons of massive destruction in a Space Opera... it may look like a cliche, but it's great when a series or movie can pull it off correctly, without being too generic, and this anime achieves that. Simply amazing episode. The ending song was beautiful too.

The final battle is not so compelling, the strategy of the comedian Okita is impeccable, this is not discussed, and some twist revives interest, showing once again how a leader like Desler, better to say a man only to the comnado or dictator, he is lost in his megalomania, but the armed conflict resolves itself in a very elegant manner, almost in a calm tone. The scene in which the character of Redolf helps the girl fall to the ground, is so touching and shows how much aliens and terrestrials have the right credentials to live in peace and respect each other. Poor Noran, I am sorry for his death so heroic, although I believe that a person must live to remedy his mistakes and to leave a tangible sign in the lives of others.

Ridiculous.
One single enemy ship is right in your capital. You would think they had at least some kind of planetary defense. And after it crashed into the tower, it was immobile. They could easily shoot at it with tanks and whatnot.

And Desler already runs away and is about to destroy his own capital to take down the Yamamoto. Makes you wonder how he was even able to conquer so many solarsystems...

It's funny how early on this show fixed a lot of dumb things about the original but towards the end it start's to feel lot more ridicilous than the original show. Plotshield was way too strong on this one but for some reason i'm not mad about it.

Should have just shot with their own Wave Motion Gun at them. Planets arent that good at dodging.
I remember when Earth guns couldnt even pierce their shields. Apparently that was a lie, seeing how the yamatos small caliber guns can shred BBs. Ofcourse I noticed this before, not just now.

I still dont quite get what the point of Iscandar was. Did they just not care that blue skins xeno filth went full space nazi?

Obligatory "Do what only you can do" sequence..

Yurisha went from kuudere to energetic girly teenager.


Also, Im amazed how well the crew can repair massive damage on the yamato without a space dry dock.

Sooo...
1) Dessler and Starsha seem to have some kind of a romantic (?) relationship. They were talking like lovers lol.
2) Yamato smashed in the palace so easily that it's ridiculous. Almost no planetary defense, no cannons, no tanks to shoot down the immobile Yamato in the tower (well alright it had shields so it's at least some excuse).
3) The blue bald guy saved the white girl out of nowhere. Why did he have sympathy for a second-class Gammilan? He has never had any character traits whatsoever, why give them to him now?
4) Dessler's actions were pretty much insane.
5) Yamato was staying in the tower without doing anything for too long. By the way, did it just shoot the most powerful weapon in the universe POINT BLANK and didn't receive damage from it? Oh ok.
6) Yuki and Norran just got inside the control room of a cannon that can destroy planets? Seriously? No guards, no locks, no anything?
7) Dessler, Gimleh and Talan are finally dead? Who will our heroes fight in the second season lol

All in all, it was an engaging and emotional episode (esp towards the end) during watching, but analyzing it in retrospective, I can say that it arranged everything too convenient for Yamato. Eh. It could've been done better

Interesting relationship between Dessler and Starsha, certainly doesn't seem to be a subservient relationship between the two as hinted at in the previous episode, so my worries were cleared up a bit here. However, for all his guile and intelligence i found Dessler's decision making really poor here, he was more than sufficiently protected in his castle, no need to leave there and leave himself vulnerable, even if he had some other plan he wanted to execute and saw the appearance of the Yamato as a good excuse, he should've kept both matters separate and dealt with each individually. RIP Dessler.
