| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "The Opening Gun! Space Battleship Argo Starts!" |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Great story so far! |
 |
| For some reason I never suspected that the battleship would actually literally be the Yamato. I guess I thought that it was just going to be named after the Yamato. This is actually way cool, flying through space on a WWII battleship! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Even if the budget was low for this anime compared to today's standards, they've had an impressive range of music used. It reminds me of some American series like Star Trek and Outer Limits. Some classical instruments, marches, funk, that 70s style brass. I think in one space scene I even heard a quiet theremin. I couldn't help but wonder how some of the sound effects were made as they didn't have such a vast library of sounds to use as today. |
| Very impressive episode, I really love where this is going and didn't expect that brief history of the Yamato which was a totally great addition as well! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I wasn't surprised by the Yamato's recycling but by the lesson about it. Wasn't the Yamato supposed to be some gllory of the past? (especially in the 70s who were not so far away from the 40s) Like someone highlighted above, the soundtrack is interessting. (was expecting less from this decade, or at least more typical sounds of this time) The only "bad" point yet is the inclusion of the robot forced into some comic relief mascot. (shouldn't complain about it when we, french, had Nono in Ulysses) 3/5 |
| Recently I watched another anime in which they reused battleship Yamato. It seems this theme is nothing new and it pops up once in a while. I don't think I will ever understand it fully as it seems to be a very Japanese thing. The last time I've seen a perverted robot was in Robot on the Road, I think :-) |
