Yamato was my first manga. You know you never forget your first. I encountered it when visiting my Uncle and Aunt in the big city many moons ago. I could only see it again when I visited them. I could not freakin believe my eyes. I had to be pried kicking and screaming back to the stone ages where I lived. Oh man, the pain of being a Nerd in a family of non Nerds living in rural Canada in the 70′s. I just about starved to death in a manner of speaking.
The Japanese have it going on. Nobody does the future like these guys. The future, plus otherworldly beautiful women. Here is the first footage I have seen for the live action Space Battleship Yamato series coming I hope really soon. It looks great. Thanks QuietEarth for the tip.
Set in 2220, the pic will depict the evacuation of 300 million people from Earth to avoid certain death from an expanding black hole. The Yamato, a space battleship, is leading the rescue fleet when it is attacked by an alien force.
