MFW I realized the tiny thumbnail in my Firefox tab makes this look like a Black Mage from Final Fantasy.

I'm hyped.

>>14702142
woah

>>14702137
If you're going to watch the original skip the 3rd season, huge waste of time
and the second movie was remade into season 2 but they're both worth watching I think

>>14702142
LOOOOOL

Pretty excited for it. Thought the tease of the White Comet Empire we got in the film was very enjoyable, but I also enjoyed 2199 as a series.

The secondaries will be pleased

>>14703328
This.

A remake is always a remake and never surpasses the idea or execution of the original.

>>14702531
>Screenwriter for the CGI Harlock

We are fucked.

Why does Japan insist on switching out the old team for a new team of inferior quality.

>>14702531

Well given the hard on he's popularly held to have for Japanese nationalism he's pretty perfect for the show.

>>14703341
ignoring the fact that he has almost no experience in writing animation and that one screenwriting credit he had was that Harlock movie.

RIP Yamamoto

again

they wouldn't be so cliche, would they? It'll be different this time won't it?

>>14703341
Considering 2199 put the nationalism aspect in the dumpster where it belonged, changing to writer like him is concerning

>>14703415

The show might have dropped a lot of the nationalism, but there was still some there given it's an all Japanese crew manning a Japanese ship in a navy composed entirely of Japanese stuff.

>>14703404
Fukui's involved. When that happens, all bets are off. Plus she's a bit tanner than other characters, though not to Loni's level.

>>14702531
Is Teresa going to have a rape backstory now?

>>14703404
>new writers
>Fukui

She's dead m8

>>14703463

But I don't want her to be

>>14703449
Expect everyone to get rape backstories now. Yes, even Analyzer.

>>14703479
No one wanted Marida to die either

>>14703483
>Expect everyone to get rape backstories now. Yes, even Analyzer.
I can see it.

>>14703341
It's mostly that everything he writes gets glomped onto by nationalists regardless of his own opinion. He's like a victim of the Death of the Writer movement in that regard.

>>14703415
Yeah and now its socialist bullshit.

Damn nigga this is great news. Wish I had the money to buy all the BDs from 2199... O well, being poor sucks.

>>14703483
>Analyzer
Wouldn't he have done the raping, rather? I mean, given that the most the OG one did was flip up skirts.

>>14703662
The harlock script is still his fault and still awful. Regardless of how his shit gets twisted by nationalists his one piece of actual work in animation (cgi) was horrible. Not to mention his contribution to Gundam was Zeon apologetics fanfic.

>>14703879
>Zeon apologetics
You can shut up now.

>mineva is one of the MCs we're supposed to root for
>entire federation is a puppet for moon jews
>muh federation took over Side 3 and turned it into a puppet government even though Zeta suggests Side 3 is independent of the Titans

Yeah it's Zeon wank and it's garbage to boot

>Star Blazers in the logo
why

>>14704343
Apparently for international purposes and to better tie in with the Hollywood movie in development.

>>14704534
Does this mean every western release is going to have that awful title and use the Star Blazers names like 2199?

I guess the Japanese BDs really are the only option.

>>14704585
It was already like that for the volumes that were released for 2199 in NA. Star Blazers is going to be applied to everything from 2202 onwards. That seems to include material in Japan.

>>14704592
This feels like if a new Macross title had Robotech as a "translated" name. Absolutely baffling.

>>14704592
Why haven't those fucks ditched that name yet?

Are there any sites streaming the original Yamatos? I'm not going to download a giant TV series.

>>14704610


except not remotely anything of the sort

>>14704614

so long as the content is unchanged who the fuck cares? Besides shit headed weebs who didn't even hear either name till longer after they stopped being relevant

>>14704646
What other major anime franchises are beholden to a decades-old butchered dub?

It makes absolutely no sense to use an irrelevant title that only appeals to a shrinking demographic of ancient nostalgia.

>>14704700

it's not about the old dub, shit head it's about international appeal. Star Blazers is generally more appealing to non Japanese people than Japanese WW2 Boner in space. The Axis powers tend not demo well.

>>14704722
Oh gosh, a Japanese anime from Japan with Japanese themes that's being discussed on a board about Japanese robots.

I sure hope it's not too Japanese.

And even then, why not just make a more "marketable" name? Star Blazers isn't a term used in the context of the actual series, all it does is turn people off who assume it'll be Johnny Spacespace on the Argo all over again.

>>14704732
>Star Blazers isn't a term used in the context of the actual series,

It's a play on Trail blazing you tit. They're heading out in unexplored space. They are literally trail blazing the stars.

>>14704753
Did you grow up with Star Blazers, or what? You're awfully attached to the name.

And that's fine, but c'mon, you have to see why people wouldn't want some unrelated name tacked onto an existing show. Anime just doesn't need that anymore.

>>14704760
The biggest reason they're plastering Star Blazers now onto the logo is because of that Hollywood movie in development which I hadn't even heard about until recently. Probably brand recognition and all that.

>>14704760

the whole point Im making is that so long as the actual content of the show is unchanged it really doesn't fucking matter what they call it. Titles change all the time when they enter the international market and not just anime.

you're the one making a fuss over the name of a series you didn't grow up with and for pretty goddamn weaboo reasons.

Star Blazers isn't the native title no but it's just a title for the box these days

>>14704822
I question the effectiveness of using weeaboo as an insult on 4chan, let alone a board like /m/.

And I just think it's too much of a slippery slope. Early showings of western 2199 subs supposedly had "Argo" and the like, which is bullshit when it defies what the characters are actually saying. Even if the incomplete final releases were fine, the possibility has been opened and the title would practically encourage it.

>>14704799
no, it's because Voyager has the license rights outside Japan.

It would be like if Harmony Gold wasn't dicks about Macross and actually licensed each new series out to be released, but slapped the Robotech name on it as opposed to just doing nothing band being patent trolls.

>>14705040

Fukui wasn't involved with 2199, he's new for 2202.

Izubuchi was the lead story guy on 2199 in addition to directing it

>>14701939
Will they manage to find the planet of psychic elves?

In the original movie EVERYONE died. Then, they made Yamato 2 tv serie and main characters survived.

Maybe the staff likes the name Star Blazers as an international name, like how Ghost in the Shell was Shirow's preferred name for what's domestically known as Kokaku Kidotai.
