Season 2 of the Space Battleship Yamato reboot has been given a title and production crew. Official website will be launched on March 31st.
>Original writer: Yoshinobu Nishizaki
>Story editor & scriptwriter: Harutoshi Fukui
>Director: Nobuyoshi Habara
>Executive producer: Shoji Nishizaki
Yoshinobu Nishizaki was the guy who directed episodes 9 and 19 of 2199, so I think season 2 is in good hands. Ourstarblazers.com will be releasing a translation of the interview on April 15.

Am I the only one that thinks 2202 doesn't have quite the same ring as 2199? Regardless of the name, I'm getting on the hype-train.

Yoshinobu Nishizaki died years before 2199 was made, he is the father of the executive producer and is the original creator of the series along with Leiji Matsumoto.
Fukui is the writer.

Oh dear. Does this mean rape and suffering time?

>>14053899
Both sound cumbersome in my language.

If it respects the original movie/series then yes to suffering, no to rape.
but of course they could throw some rape in the mix so that they can make it look like they made something new in this remake of a remake of a movie.

Finally something to look forward to. I guess that given the title, it'll be OVAs again?
>>14053887
Call it 2199 II then
>>14053857
I am kind of scared due to the change in staff. Will they retain the character designer and voice cast?
This better be semi OVA budget with theatrical releases rather than straight to TV air.

This time will be different, right?
They have statues to sell. It can be different this time.

It's not like Yuuki has anything better to do these days aside from some show called Orange, so I'm sure they'll keep him.
