So why am i supposed to hate this?I mean, sure, it has some retarded bits like 'Desler did nothing wrong' or the character of Sabera, and Zworder is nowhere near as compelling as Desler. But it still has some solid bits here and there: Kodai and his conflict with the Wave Motion Gun, earth's militarist expansion, the whole babble about love and hate and how clones can't feel love but they can. The animation is still as gorgeous as it was, and has pretty some fun battles, the final stretch to reach golem was really cool.Sure, it's not as great as 2199, but i still don't think it's outright bad.
>>23870743Congratulations you have an opinion. Quit looking for approval.
Okay
It's not bad at all stop listening to twatter idiots. This is the problem with the modern generation they just need outside approval for anything. If you like it you like it. I like it.
>>23870743>So why am i supposed to hate this?>Literally lists reasons to hate itIts just a soulless remake of Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato because Fukui is a faggot hack fraud who hated all the changes made to 2199 so he reverted them and made an inferior product. 2199 is a quintessential example of how remakes should be done whereas 2202 is the opposite and ir reverens Farewell to the point that its just a 1:1 copy and now the 2199 sub series is just an irrelevant retreat of the same material (which wasn't good to begin with) with "modern" sensibilities embedded with it and with Anno announcing his version of Yamato in the works it literally has no reason to exist.
>>23870898>and ir reverens Farewell to the point that its just a 1:1 copyIt's really not though. It deviates from the original Farewell just as much or even more than 2199 deviates from the original.2199 has some parts in the first half that are almost 1:1 with the original, while 2202 although following the same general story as Farewell always has huge differences alongside almost every plot beat.
>>23870743Because it’s nip nationalism at its worst.
>>23870903>It deviates from the original Farewell just as much or even more than 2199 deviates from the original.It really doesn't certainly not enough to the extent that 2199 deviated from Yamato which in where lies the negative reception because Fukui revisions goes against a lot of what was established in the remake all so he can bring back Dessler and uncuckify him
>>23871039They just wanted to redeem Dessler, because he's popular and they wanted to keep him as an usable character, not make things closer to the original.Everything related to the Time Fault is original to 2202. In the original, Gatlantis leadership has basically no contact with Yamato before the final battle. They're portrayed closer to a force of nature. Meanwhile, you get a lot of Gatlantis interaction and story in 2202. They do send Dessler after the Yamato beforehand in the original, but this vengeance driven Dessler then faces them, before regretting it when defeated, and giving them a tip about Gatlantis' weakness and disappears in space with some surviving troops (or just dies in the movie). But, that's it, he isn't a recurring character throughout the story unlike in 2202 and isn't involved with Teresa or anything near the finale. The whole Space Battleship Ginga plot is all new too. In the final battle of the original, Earth has already surrendered, and the Yamato is fighting by itself with no support at all. It's just a desperate last stand of the Yamato alone vs Gatlantis. All the stuff about the Gatlantis leader's secret and such is all original to 2202.2199 is WAY closer to the original story than 2202. The first third of the show are all pretty direct adaptations from the original just with an expanded cast. Same goes to some of their encounters during the strip. It's only the end-game that diverges heavily (although still following the plot in general lines). 2202 is always adding big stuff that impacts everything around the original story.
So how badly does Star Blazers butcher the source material?

>>23871231It's not bad for that time although still. Cuts the World War 2 flashback exposition about the original Yamato. Still keeps the plot point about the space ship being built under the Yamato, even if the name of the actual spaceship is changed though. Renames characters and changes them to being from various nations. There are cuts to violence and death too, with some minor character deaths being ignored or written out.
>>23871231It's been a long time since I watched it but I don't remember TOO much being changed drastically. I imagine they softened some of the heavier deaths though. I'd say it's probably closer to Robotech than Voltron.
>>23871113>They just wanted to redeem DesslerThey dont go about doing that they just find a way to asspull his presence back into the story to undo the damage 2199 did to him. Its bad and awful but because a lot of people didn't like his portrayal in 2199 it was seen as an "improvement".>but this vengeance driven Dessler then faces them, before regretting it when defeated, and giving them a tip about Gatlantis' weakness and disappears in space with some surviving troops (or just dies in the movie).Which is a complete rewrite of his portrayal in 2199 and is more in lines with Farewell. This is the problem with 2202 writing as a whole.>It's just a desperate last stand of the Yamato alone vs Gatlantis.Which doesn't hit as hard due to once again the rewrites to make it more aligned with Farewell.>>23871113>2199 is WAY closer to the original story than 2202.Not really >Kodai's and most of the crew's characterization are completely different >Everything about the Gamillas is different and expanded upon>New character factions that weren't in the original >Everything about DesslerAnd I can go on. The framework is the same but everything that makes it is completely different. 2202 is very blatantly trying to be closer to Farewell because many aspects of it is the same, it doesn't matter how many new characters it throws when they play the exact same role with little deviation.
