At the time, newspapers were reporting it extensively, calling it the &#8220;<em>Yamato<\/em> Boom&#8221; or &#8220;<em>Yamato<\/em> Fever.&#8221; It was also with <em>Yamato<\/em> that fans began lining up overnight to see anime movies.<\/p>\n<p><em>Yamato<\/em> will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, and this final chapter commemorates that milestone.<\/p>\n<p>The story begins with a major catastrophe occurring in space. A dimensional fault opens near the center of the galaxy, and another galaxy emerges from it to cause great damage to the core star systems that intersect with it. <em>Yamato<\/em>, with Susumu Kodai as captain, heads to the center of the galaxy to investigate the situation.<\/p>\n<p>A great collapse has occurred there, and Dessler&#8217;s nation, the Gamilas Empire, which boasted great power, has become a ruined planet.<\/p>\n<p>On its way back, <em>Yamato<\/em> discovers a planet whose city has been engulfed in a great flood and sets out to rescue the people. But only one boy is saved, and <em>Yamato<\/em> suffers great damage.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: red;\">Surprise! 70mm Anime<\/h3>\n<p>The cause of the flood is the watery planet Aquarius, which passed close to the planet Dengil, and the gravitational forces between the two planets caused a large amount of water to fall.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>Yamato<\/em> prepares to leave Dengil, a mysterious fleet launches an attack. <em>Yamato<\/em> is exposed to enemy radiation weapons, and Kodai, who is not wearing a helmet, contracts radiation. This is said to be incurable, and he is near to death.<\/p>\n<p>This is the prologue of the final chapter of <em>Yamato<\/em>. The intersection of galaxies, and a city swallowed by a great flood. From the very beginning, there are breathtaking scenes, including space battles and the mysteriously beautiful water planet Aquarius.<\/p>\n<p>This final chapter of <em>Yamato<\/em> also features many new mecha, and the scale is even greater than before. Uruk and its mobile fortress mothership, which dwarfs <em>Yamato<\/em>, challenges <em>Yamato<\/em> to battle!<\/p>\n<p>What is particularly noteworthy is that all of this will be presented on a large screen in 70mm. The use of 70mm film for animation is a rare attempt anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other topics about this chapter of <em>Yamato<\/em>. First of all, the famous captain Juzo Okita will be making a reappearance. It will be interesting to see how he will interact with Kodai and the others.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Isao Sasaki, who has sung all the theme songs for the series, Tranzam, Tomoko Kuwae, and Junko Yagami will also be singing new theme songs in their first-ever appearance in an anime.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"textBlue\">Premiering March &#8217;83<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/074b'>Return to previous article<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42130"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42583,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42130\/revisions\/42583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
