This "movie" is actually the original series "Uchû senkan Yamato" (1974-1975) edited into 2+ hours and shown theatrically. It should also be noted that it was this movie that made "Yamato" extremely popular in Japan (the original TV series didn't do so well in the ratings) and its success led (so far) to two other TV shows, four more movies, and a direct-to-video mini-series.

In Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato (also rendered as Arrivederci Yamato), the Yamato and her crew face the onslaught of the Comet Empire, a civilization from the Andromeda Galaxy who seek to conquer Earth, led by Zohdah the Great. The Yamato is aided by a telekinetic woman composed of anti-matter, Teresa of Telezart, while the Comet Empire has restored to life Earth's old enemy, the Gamilas' leader Desslar, who is eager for revenge. After a massive battle which destroys both Earth and Comet Empire fleets, the Yamato crew defeat Zohdah's fortress, but at the cost of the ship and their lives. A massive fan outcry to the film convinced the show's creators to make a second season of the TV series based on the film, but with a much different ending. As such the events of Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato are now considered to be an alternate storyline altogether and is no longer regarded as official canon.

Three years ago, when we first decided to look into remastering

STAR BLAZERS™, we apprised the folks at Voyager of our efforts.

That was the FIRST time we remastered the Comet Empire story arc,

and our current efforts are based off of that original project.

Back then our resources weren't as snazzy as they are now, and

we had to yank all of our video with one of those good ol' "high

end" ATI video capture cards. We knew the prints weren't up to

commercial grade but sent copies of then to Voyager anyway,

hoping they'd take the hint. They apparently decided to stick

with those old, grainy, 16mm film prints for their DVDs for

obvious reasons -- hence our current effort.

At the same time we were redoing the Comet Empire, though, our

minds kept going back to the lone dubbed Yamato movie. You know,

the Streamline dub of FAREWELL TO SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO. Don't

knock it too badly, because it's actually a pretty good dub given

Streamline was the top anime dubbing outfit at the time. It's

just that it suffers from the same problem as does the Bolar Wars

story arc. It has the WRONG VOICES, if you know what we mean.

Why couldn't it be remixed with the Claster cast audio from the

series ... or better yet, a movie-length compilation from the

series itself? Sort of a "warp speed version" like those memorial

videos they used to release in Japan, back when releasing an

entire anime TV series on videotape or laserdisc was quite a pricey

prospect. Our pitch to Voyager was that they could release it as

a bargain alternative to buying the entire series, and so we made

warp speed versions of all three seasons of STAR BLAZERS™. They

said nary a word, but as you can guess our suggestion was never

officially taken. Oh, well. We can make a guess at why they

decided not to go with the idea and we understand. Even so, we

don't want our work to go missing on a dusty storage shelf

somewhere before it gets lost to disc rot.

Included in this archive is a slightly retooled version of our 2005

Comet Empire "warp speed version" movie. This was pulled directly

from our archive master print. We ask that you please forgive the

quality of the video and the frequent screen artifacts from time

to time. These resulted from the video capture card we were using

to generate our work prints back then. We also note that this

print was cropped in letterbox format to simulate a theatrical

release and with viewing on widescreen TVs and monitors in mind.

In retrospect this may not have been such a good idea, what with

the stink that the DRAGON BALL Z™ fans have raised over their own

show getting similar treatment. Perhaps we might redo it in the

future if enough fans show interest.

A word at this point about the way this is edited. The idea

behind the "warp speed version" was to edit each season down into

a three-hour movie. Our prints were keyed off of the original

Japanese movie edits for the first two seasons, and off of the

Bolar Wars TV movie compilation for the third season. This

required the reshuffling of certain scenes, as well as the

alteration of others, in order to provided a reasonable flow of

events. We couldn't include everything, but we tried as hard as

we could to include as many of the fans' favorite moments as

possible -- given the limitations of Claster's dub, that is.

It actually turned out a lot better than we expected, although

the lack of consistent quality audio sources was (and still is)

irritating. Oh, how we wish Voyager had remastered the Comet

Empire audio like they did for the Iscandar episodes!

Our only change was to redo all of title and credits cards. This

was for the sake of those whose names were listed and for obvious

reasons. This included both people on our team and at Voyager

back then -- including one fellow at Voyager in particular who

was a big help in our original effort. The key part he played,

although much appreciated at the time, must forever remain

anonymous per his wishes. This also goes for...

When Japan's mega-popular animated TV series "Space Battleship Yamato" was converted to "Star Blazers" in 1979, more than the name was altered for American viewers. Many scenes were edited from the animation to decrease the level of violence and several Asian cultural references. One of the most fascinating edits was this sequence, cut from episode 2, in which we look back at the sinking of the original battleship Yamato in 1944.
