I don’t into Anime, but I love me some sci-fi especially space epics and man....this show is everything Battlestar Galactica wishes it could be without all the fracking nonsense.

Yeah, I know its a silly concept but it doesn’t even matter, its just so darn watchable.

It was so ridiculous that it was amazing.

I watched Star Blazers as a kid. Thought it was the coolest thing.

I have a question for you. Subbed or dubbed?

I grew up on dubbed shows on YTVs late night stuff.

Are you watching the original, or the 2199 remake?

HammerheadFistpunch > KirkyV

remake apparently.

Subbed, my only other experience with this debate was with advent children and I can see why it matters, changes the movie completely.

You should consider giving 2199 a look at some point! It’s like the original, but with a slightly less nonsensical plot and far better animation!

It’s fantastic, isn’t it? If you’re on episode twelve, you’ve got one of my all-time favourite anime space battles still to look forward to.

If you want to watch somethingn really interesting that is sci-fi check out Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It’s like game of thrones in space. It’s an 80s anime but it holds up well. I think it’s only had in sub form and was never released int he US so you probably have to download it somewhere. It’s like top 10 all time levels of goodness.

I've watched every space battleship Yamato series and movie to date, and the 2004 BSG remake. I'm prepared to debate with you on which is better and why.

I am fully prepared to not jump down that rabbit hole.

It’s like an Iowa-class battleship crossed with a U-boat, in space. What’s not to like?

I watched that when I was kid back around 1980. My friend and I then went out drew an entire fleet of starships based on line drawings from airplane and navy books we had. I’ve still got them somewhere.

Does the Reflex Cannon still take forever to spool-up?

HammerheadFistpunch > coqui70
06/19/2015 at 23:08

you mean the wave engine gun? about 30 seconds or so.

coqui70 > HammerheadFistpunch

Yeah - the big sucker coming out of the front. When I watched the original series dubbed to Spanish from Japanese they called it the “Reflex Cannon”. Every time the evil alien battle fleet got stupid and bunched up in front of the ship the Captain would give the order and half a minute later ZOOM there goes half their fleet!

Where you watching it at? I watched when I was a kid, during its original run. Love to watch it again!
