When it comes to timeless anime, Space Battleship Yamato is one of the most prominent names you will see. And with old and timeless anime comes several spin-offs and remakes.
With the retro space aesthetics and animation ahead of its time, it is a show that tugs at the heartstrings of all veteran otakus. As much as we love its old style, we like seeing the new stuff in such franchises now and then.
Space Battleship Yamato 2205: The New Voyage revealed the first installment of its upcoming two-part movie series premiering on October 8th, 2021.
“Space Battleship Yamato 2205” will be released on October 8th, and Tasuku Hatanaka, Nobuhiko Okamoto and others will play the role of new crew (with comments)

It will be titled Space Battleship Yamato 2205: The New Voyage – Zenshō -TAKE OFF- (Uchū Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru Tabidachi).
The visual poster features Abelt Dessler looking remorseful with a gun in his hand. It puts up many questions as to why he is giving that expression or why there is a gun in his hand.
Some of the cast will be reprising their roles from the anime, while some additional cast has been announced.
