Slight spoilers... But if you are brave enough go ahead.
OK lets start with the positives! Personally I think the animation is quite good as I could clearly see more than sufficient details especially in space battles and the background was nice as well. For the story, it kept me hooked as I literally finished the series in a day without getting bored. The sound was good, I think the music matched the scenes. Overall I enjoyed Uchuu Senkan Yamato and I give it a 6 out of 10.
However in my humble opinion the characters especially Kodai was not refined well. I feel that
...
his decision does not make any sense. As an example he was willing to kill himself for no particular reason in episode 23. The man just drops his gun and let an enemy shoot him because he has this so called "faith" in the enemy.... Like wtf the dude just forgot about his own wife and all his friends and is willing to lay down his life for some really dumb reason????? I think that the series could have been a lot better if the character team really put on some thought on how to display the MC's idealism. Kodai's ideals are noble and something people should aspire to be but take it to the extreme and the whole nobleness of it disappears. To elaborate people who are generous should always help others. But we all know that if you keep donating money and resources to those who need help, you will simply run out of money and resources. Likewise if you are have "faith" in an enemy and you give your gun to an enemy who you just met like 3 seconds ago trusting him with your life... It is utter foolishness.
In conclusion the series was good in every aspect except the character development simply because of Kodai's decision. His logic was great but how he put it into action endangering his own life AND SO MANY OTHERS without any good reason was just stupid.
