Description:
The Story Behind Star Blazers!

Before Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Akira, and even Robotech, came the anime smash hit Space Battleship Yamato! It was an epic saga that drew a line from vast reaches of outer space to the inner reaches of the human heart. For ten years, Japanese audiences follow the crew of the Yamato on one magnificent voyage after another...and now you can see how it all happened!

This is the first documentary of its kind, a detailed look at not just the Yamato series, but the stories behind it; the struggles and the successes, the pathfinding and the trailblazing, all the way from the early concepts in 1973 right up to the grand finale in 1983.

If you're a diehard Star Blazers/Yamato fan who wants to see and hear the full behind-the-scenes story in one program, this is the one you've been waiting for. Even if you're only curious about Japanese animation, this will show you how it rose to world-class status with Yamato as one of its key representatives.

Narrated by the one and only Ken Meseroll (the voice of Derek Wildstar in Star Blazers), packed with rare film clips and artwork, and filled with comments from over a dozen of Yamato's creators, this unique special presentation proves that the making of the saga was as big an adventure as the saga itself!
