| Oh boy this sure was a great movie! The way they introduced Sasha again but completely grownup and got away with her immense growth quite nicely I still must say that I expected her to be in the next season, yet here we find her being introduced and already killed off! Together with the sad and quite touching part of Mamoru's death and Yuki's "imprisonment", but at least she got safely back together in the end. In all this sure was an epic ride of intense action and great development, I'm definitely looking forward to see what the third season will offer us! |

| Why not destroy the enemy central base with main guns in the first place instead of sending the planes? |

| What a weird, absurd, insane film. So ridiculous and over the top that it circled around to being enjoyable. Spectacle and scale used and toyed with just to boggle the mind, enemies and impossibly bleak scenarios pop up and induce awe ... just before the Yamato uses the heroics of its basically superhuman crew and incredibly advanced weapons to turn the tides in humanity's favor, no matter what. This is the first time in the movie series that it feels like the Yamato is unstoppable, a true force of nature that is as beautiful as it is chaotic. Hell, the enemies basically took over Earth and brought on the Black Nebula out of fear of the Yamato, and even that didn't work. Definitely way more dramatic and over the top than it needs to be. But that's part of the appeal, part of what makes Yamato a one of a kind franchise. So many scenes that left me breathless... and at the same time, so many scenes I couldn't help but laugh at. (Mamoru literally blowing himself up like that? Sasha falling in love with Susumu?? The entire concept of a double gravity galaxy??? Time traveling because of arbitrary warp physics????) Part of the appeal! From what I've seen, Final Yamato - that mammoth of a movie that still stands as the single longest animation film of ALL TIME - takes all the ridiculousness of this film and takes it up TO THE EXTREME. Very excited to dig into that and see where this could possibly go from here. |
| This really could have been good. But a lot of stuff ruined it, it's filled with plot holes and the only good moment (Kodai crying over having to kill Sasha) got absolutely ruined. Hope the next installments of the series will be better |

| This movie had the most beautiful space backgrounds in the Yamato Saga. I always found space flat in Yamato but I overlooked it since it was an old anime. They really put effort here. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
