| Oh damn, now i can see some usual people who shits on everything being happy. And of course, this looks really good tho. I really need to watch that remake soon. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| That is one gorgeous key visual. Makoto Kobayashi really makes impressive designs. Here's a detail of the bow of the ship. |

I hope this does become a mega hit in all honesty so studios would see a trend and invest in more space operas. |
| Quite a few staff changes but still very excited about it. Seems like Tetsuro Amino (Shiki, Macross 7, Rainbow Days, Mobile Suit SD Gundam, Broken Blade) will be the chief director or general director and music will be done by Kousuke Yamashita (Chihayafuru, The World Is Still Beautiful). Animation production is still by Xebec. Source/more staff: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/y123000/e/c6d077bed7bf0e0556b1e3405166bbfa |

Oh i can understand how you might feel..Space Opera based series were quite popular between the late 70's to early 90's but now they are practically extinct in Japanese entertainment these days. so yeah i hope this becomes successful so we can more stories like these again . |
| Yuki Mori plot shield in the 1st season ( you know the one when stranger suddenly sacrifice his life for her and when she got headshot and survived LOL ) make me dislike the anime... i guess i wont be watching this one. |
 |
| I can't even found the second series subbed on my lenguage and a new one it's announced, well still good news |
 |
ColdBreeze said: Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 is a really good anime though. Unfortunately not popular. If you are talking about audience outside Japan in general, Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 is just one of those. But then again, novel base(not light novel) anime tend to experience this. |
 |
| My body is ready. Also, Uchuu Senkan Yamato is mad popular in Japan, this will be a success. |
| Not sure how well this will do in America. I don't hear anyone talking about Uchuu Senkan Yamato anymore, or 'Star Blazers' as it's pathetically called in the U.S. |
| Not sure why people are saying Space Battleship Yamato is not popular, well maybe not anywhere else but in actually Japan? it's quite popular...but what can you expect from MAL users. I'm hyped for this, really liked the story in the second season of the original. |
 |
| oh god.........please stop this no one needs more yamato if it's going to be all about TITS and ASS ALL OVER MY GODDAMN FACE and HIGHSCHOOL KIDS FOR A BATTLESHIP CREW |
| Just watch all the Yamato 2199 last week and i loved it, probably one of the best series i watched. Now im hyped for the second season |
| Guess I should get to the first season pretty soon then. |

moodie said: Eh space operas wont work in todays climate i can see this being good for the fans but crashing and burning financially This anime gave birth to otaku movement and waifufaggotry. Tens of years later they don't spend money for nothing for the third time. |
| OH YES This is good news, the reboot of S1 was one of the best anime this decade. I hope the staff changes do not have a negative impact, though: Anno's scripts were really good. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

moodie said: Eh space operas wont work in todays climate i can see this being good for the fans but crashing and burning financially Yeah, because Yamato 2199 was such a failure lol Go back into your Ln cave. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Nice for the fans I guess, I still have to check this franchise out, even tho I'm not that much of a fan of all this space future thing. |
 |
| Gotta binge watch the first season, then |

| I'm excited to see this but not too hyped on those staff changes. Also pretty curious what kind of format they'll be releasing it in this time. |
 |
| I've got those S1 ready and all but still haven't gotten to it yet. Might give it a go when this does come out. This news totally reminded me of the new Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu adaptation we're getting next year. I'm honestly excited for that since I've been reading the new manga adaptation and the fact that it'll be handled by Production I.G gives me hope. |
| Having recently finished Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 I gotta say I'm super hyped to hear this is getting a sequel. It's kinda rare to see any space opera anime nowadays so I hope this is super successful so the genre can get revived. |
 |
| Leijiverse is alive! Why i cant hold all this hype? |
 |
| This looks interesting, the key visual is nicely crafted as well. Looking forward to it! |
|
| Omg I'm so ready for this \o/ Nobuyoshi for the win ! |
| oh sick if it's anywhere near as good as 2199 was then I'm hyped alright |
  |
| I was about to say "fuck yes, finally a show that won't suck for sure" but then I saw that staff changed. Why are they keep doing that? You don't mess with something that worked perfectly. I really hope it won't be another Itsuwari no Kamen. One ruined title is enough for the time being... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| From here on, I probably will stop watching old anime. I will wait for the remake instead. xD |
| This salad is salty favored |
You will most likely enjoy it HaXX, it's quite interesting to see the crew manage Yamato since Though I'm curious if this will be OVAs like S1 or not. |
|
| AWESOME. I loved the new version of the anime, and now that there will be a sequel. All I can say is BRING IT ON. |
| Yay ! I Just hope for better ending than the previous one... |
+Lunai+  |
| So happy for new season, glad the rumors of them working on a new one were true |

| 2199 was epic stuff, I'm still waiting for a western BD release. Probably one of my favourite space opera's and seeing as they are a rare sight these days I hope it does well. Looking forward to this immensely |
| good news. I'm not too fond of space operas but 2199 was great indeed. |
| The first remake was extremely underrated. Hope they will have a better promotional campaign for the sequel so they can bring in new audience! Fantastic show! |
| This key visual makes me want to watch the first season. Sick news for the fans. |

| I'll be truly happy to see it! Good luck, Director and Script Writer, and do great! |
| still waiting for my the devil is a part timer s2 announcement...come on japan |

| Yet another beautiful checkmark on my wishlist, this is great. I miss seeing the Yamato in action along with that glorious OST. What's next, Pandora Hearts reboot? |
 |
| Get hype! Weirdly enough, Space Battleship Yamato S2 was one of the first series I watched, and is partly responsible for me getting into anime. Have pretty high expectations for this. I wonder which ending they'll adapt...? |
