[@stevencohen624]

+Rasallon Interesting. Is it the phaser lance, or is it fired from the ship's main deflector, like the weapon that the Enterprise-D used in "The Best of Both Worlds"? I love all of the Star Trek series, but I'm not very familiar with Star Trek online.

[@Rasallon]

Steven Cohen Its fired from a giant gun under the saucer. Look for the Enterprise D from the episode All Good Things the final episode.

[@stevencohen624]

Rasallon I see. Thank you for the information. :)

[@Rasallon]

Steven Cohen Your Welcome. The Yamato is an upgraded version of the ship which Star Trek Online created.

[@Linerunner99]

The USS Yamato was a sister ship of the Enterprise in season one of TNG. It was destroyed by an accident caused by a design flaw. The Galaxy Dreadnought (or "Galaxy X") in STO, like all ships, can be named whatever you want. It's class name is still Galaxy because it is simply a refit to the Galaxy Class Cruiser. Also the Phaser Lance weapon she has in the spinal mount is nice, but not even 1% as powerful as the WMG.

Far as I know, "hado ho" means "wave energy cannon" or, more directly, "wave motion gun".

OMG. I was not expecting to find this today; I absolutely loved this series growing up. Seeing the earth flake off the windows and the Yamato rise from the dry sea bed sent shivers down my spine. Of course, the ship was called the "Argo" when I first saw her at 8 years old. Much later I learned much later that was changed for "Star Blazers" in the US. I can understand the show runners being wary of calling her by "Yamato", identifying that wreck as the WW2 battlefield the US had sunk a generation prior. But I knew nothing of that in elementary school. And what a scene it is! Amazing!

[@mikebennet7697]

In the US version of Starblazers dubbed by Voyager Entertainment I believe they did identify the wreck as Yamato in Episode 2 but said it would be renamed Argo.

This is how you reboot a series.

[@warbird1786]

dixievfd55 Not sure if you have seen it but there is a new Yamato anime out... On kissanime.com it is Space Battleship Yamato 2199... A complete retelling of the original series... All new animation... Most of the sound effects are the same... In depth story telling... New subplots... Very well done...

[@pinoi78]

dixievfd55 Yamato 2199 rebooted the franchise better. The LAM was good...but could have been better.

[@heatherrockwell9012]

warbird1786 Yeah. It's essentially the original, but better in every way

[@ChronoTheRobo]

No this is how you make sure a series is dead

[@clifflee5404]

In the original storyline they don't use the wave motion gun until the floating continent. The missle/bomb coming at earth gets destroyed with the "shot canon" (main) guns. I'm guessing for the live action edition (non anime) they had to abbreviate and change the storyline to fit within the time constraints.

No idea what they are saying but my GOD the theme song is epic!!! Chills man!! Chills! I NEVER missed this show when it aired on tv!!! The animation was old school , the writing at its zenith and the voice actors perfect at their roles!! Those that embrace today’s animation I share links of the two (IMHO) that started it all: Stsrblazers and Battle of the Planets (Gotchaman)! Unbeatable quality!!

Her magazines also detonated before she'd slipped beneath the waves...she was in pieces before she ever hit bottom. She saw more action in anime than she ever did in real life, where she only was part of three battles -- 1) Midway, where she was a command ship and not directly involved in the fighting. 2) Leyte Gulf -- specifically the Battle off Samar, which was the only time she ever fired on another surface vessel and was STILL driven off by the USS Johnston...a ship that weighed less than one of Yamato's main gun emplacements. 3) Operation Ten Go, where she was sunk.

I enjoyed this movie and the attention to details like Analyzer's design, but I must admit, I missed that the Gamillans were not humanoid. Deslock/Desler, for all of his faults, was a very charismatic villain.

When I watch this scene it takes me back 20 years to a time where the world had not tainted me with the woes of adult life. I miss those times, and Yamato was a big part of my childhood. This show was the best part of it, and its not been ruined like GiJoe or Transformers. Stay true to what you are, that is the lesson here.

[@ohroonoko]

Imagine how grown ups felt in 1980 watching Popeye in theaters. That was the original ruination of childhood lol. And don’t forget about the Scooby Doo and Brady Bunch movies.

[@floydjohnson7888]

Interesting that you mentioned "GI Joe" and "The Transformers" alongside "Space Cruiser Yamato". "Yamato" (known to some as "Star Blazers") was a Toei production. In the mid-'80s; Toei was a contract animator for the aforementioned (among others) Marvel Productions series.

Thank you Japan, for creating One of The Best Sci-Fi series ever created.

I always remember the feel of listening to the theme to Star Blazers. I was far too young to even know what a dubbed series was (I though Robotech was an original series) but it just touched a cord of the idea of honour, duty, service and self-sacrifice that was uncommon in western shows of the time. So epic.

I praise the producers of this movie for showing such respect to the original material. Besides some little changes, this movie is totally faithful to the original anime. I used to watch SBY as a kid and watch a live action SBY movie 30 years after is a feeling I cannot explain. Specially this sequence it sent me shivers down my spine!

They REALLY screwed up most things about the storyline apart from the Wave Motion Gun, to be honest. If you haven't already discovered this. Still, the live...ish action Harlock movie was worse.

This was about as faithful a Live Action remake as I've ever seen. The only issue I have right here is the very first time they fired the Wave Motion gun that I remember was when they destroyed the Continent, not to destroy the missile. They took out the missile with their main guns. The Wave Motion gun was saved to show how powerful it really could be.
