In September 2021, a novel titled Space Battleship Yamato Dawn Chapter, Aquarius Algorithm began an effort to fill the 17-year gap between Final Yamato and Resurrection. There was plenty to learn about it if you knew where to look online, and it is all collected here in one place.
August 2021 ticked up a bit over July with some interesting announcements, a new fan club magazine, Age of Yamato on home video, and a LOT of fan activity. Plus, Yamato 2205 got another month closer. Here’s everything that went down…
Issue 12 of the Star Blazers/Yamato Premium Fan Club magazine was published shortly before the premiere of Yamato 2205. It contained interviews with Director Kenji Yasuda and Writer Harutoshi Fukui, and some other odds and ends found nowhere else. Here is all that content in one big bundle.
These two interviews were published within days of each other, both featuring musical discussions with Yamato‘s resident composer, Akira Miyagawa. The topics ranged from Age of Yamato to the 2202 Symphonic Suite to the summer 2021 concerts and a glimmer of what we can look forward to in 2205.
From the Age of Yamato movie program book; Mecha Designer Junichiro Tamamori and Animator Kia Asamiya discuss the thought process behind the highlight of the film, the opening segment that established a prehistory never seen before.
