The TV monitor at far right showed opening and closing titles. The sign read as follows:<\/p>\n

Opening title 1 (non-credit) \/ opening title 2 (non-credit)
\nOpening title storyboard restored version (non-credit) \/ ending title (non-credit)<\/p>\n

The opening title of Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> changed its image and sound several times during its broadcast. All the footage shown here is the opening and ending scenes without staff credits from film discovered in 2024.<\/p>\n

Opening title version 1 was broadcast with Episodes 1 and 2, and version 2 was broadcast from Episode 21 onward. The picture was restored by re-shooting a cel that Ryusuke Hikawa had kept for many years, a shot of Yamato<\/em> rising from the sea surface, which was made at the time of production but not actually used.<\/p>\n

The non-credit version of the ending was shown for the first time at the 50th anniversary screening of Space Battleship Yamato<\/em> on October 6, 2024.<\/p>\n

(Running time: about 7 minutes)<\/p>\n

Special note: the storyboard shown at the bottom of this photo was drawn by Yoshiyuki Tomino, who went on to create the Gundam<\/em> franchise. His work on this episode was his sole contribution to Yamato<\/em>, and he has refrained from commenting on it ever since.
