Watching Space Battleship Yamato.

The fansubs keep coming in with these weird factoids in the credits. I wonder if these two things are connected and they're why Tomino got chucked from the production?
>>
>>23871929
Tomino was chucked for trying to tinker some things from the script in the storyboard phase.
>>
>>23871929
Are we supposed to believe this is some kind of magic fighter jet? I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.
>>
Man, predictions were wildly off before we started sending probes out.
>>
Tomino disliked the script, so he changed it, and got booted. He also hated Yamato overall, and especially Yoshinobu Nishizaki (as did almost everyone that worked with him)
I recommend looking into Nishizaki, the dude was wild, and possibly on drugs during production
>>

Wait, is that why he wanted to make his own Yamato story with Himiko?

OP is the friendless zoomer that's been spamming /srwg/ for the last couple days.

Yes. ~11 times Earth in radius/diameter is entirely correct.
>>23871929
The credit facts are great and something I looked forward to with every episode.
>>
>>23872066
Chill out I was just speculating
>>23872061
I mean I don’t think he outright hates the series especially the homages it had in his later works, perhaps maybe he felt it was too glorifying about the past while his personal views are about mankind moving forward and of course “UNDERSTANDING.” SBY just wasn’t for him
>>
>>23872024
Oh. Guess I'm retarded after all.
>>
>>23872070
>especially the homages it had in his later works
We sure stuff like that wasn't Yas's work instead? He worked on Yamato as well as Zambot and '79, after all.
>>
>>23872092
It's okay, the Pluto episode has some genuine outdated science.

Though I think that bit of science makes for a better overall story than how 2199 handles it

There's a dated fact. It's not even as big as Earth's moon, which IIRC is a third the size of Earth.

Wonder if this was part of the reason for crippling beams underwater in SRW, coupled with ZZ Gundam's whole thing about lasers refracting off seafoam.
>>
Well okay then
>>
>>23873021
Huh? Beams being weak underwater in SRW is due to UC Gundam.
>>
And here I thought the artificial gravity on the Yamato was just strong enough to maintain everyone being upright even when upside-down underwater.

No family left to give a message to, so Kodai goes and drinks sake with the equally lonely captain.

A whole episode with no action. Guess that's why the Previously On segment was so long.

Man, I wonder how many shows had to lie in their credits like this to save resources.
>>
>>23873047

Beams are weak underwater in SRW and Yamato BECAUSE BEAMS ARE WEAK UNDERWATER! Water fucks with the way light works!

In-motion course correction. Wonder why they bothered making them blue at all.

So this is why Zeta didn't bother to explain dummy balloons until partway through ZZ.

Susumu, you're an idiot.

He's half right right about that other thing though

Skirting Alpha Centauri as the only unimpeded route to evade an energy creature while the captain suffers from radiation sickness. That's an impressive scenario the show's concocted.

Oh, I guess it's not Alpha Centauri.

They really made people a bit more sensible in the remake. Like I'm all for nobility and sacrifice and that kind of thing but this is just retarded so when they dress it up as him staying behind to cover the others escape instead of being a moron it hits a bit harder.
>>
>>23874733
Given how Yamato is frequently called Japanese propaganda, I think it's actually shocking how one of the first scenes we get is our main protagonist deciding to flee and live rather than follow bushido and die like Mamoru.
>>
Sanada goes on this weird tangent about becoming a scientist because he killed his sister by being reckless on a roller coaster. A roller coaster whose cars were controlled like bumper cars and for some reason had more than one car going at a time.
>>
He says this right after revealing that his arms and legs are artificial replacements for when he lost his real ones in the accident.
>>
And for the finisher, Sanada gets bizarrely fatalistic and martyr-y about sticking around to detonate the limbs, even though Susumu could've stuck around and kept him tethered to the seamless plane after pulling the trigger.

I'm impressed they were allowed to depict any kind of limblessness, though.

Well ain't that clever. No mind control or spies, just letting the Yamato contact Earth with their own technology and just waiting for discipline to collapse.

it's not "villains" doing falconry. it's noble people doing falconry. and it's as old as falconry. domel is clearly a sympathetic character. this shows he's refined and cultured and not just a brutish soldier. It's also a reference to Harlock.

BANZAIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

Movie finished. If it'd stuck to being a Greatest Hits album, it'd be fine, but man did it get psychotic about people killing themselves for the sake of victory. It's the same issue I had with Zambot 3, though I'm not sure if it's better or worse that this movie was a full-throated endorsement of martyrdom where Zambot had spent several episodes dedicated to how messed up suicide bombers were only to have everyone kill themselves in the last three episodes anyway.

you're at a con, your room is already a designated hangout so you can't hide there, you know a dude and you want to just chill for like twenty minutes without nerds screaming around you
>>23902482
from what I've gathered bringing weed into the country was a very big deal to the point that if you look dodgy and you've ever had roach in your pocket just don't bring those pants to Japan they will look for ever crumb in every stitch as you go through customs, but within the country it's less totally nuts but still very downlow, the comparison I've heard for weed in Japan in the 80s and 90s is sorta like swingers in the USA around the same time
there's a lot of local networks but it's WAAAAY more secretive than modern USA gas station weed
