A pretty exciting episode even if obviously they won't let Yamato be hit seriously before taking off. They kept building up tension nicely with the failed engine starts.

Awesome episode! Yamato to the rescue, and now that we've got liftoff I wonder what the next obstacle will be on their journey.

I hate the chaotic architecture underground, as well as some of the music which is downright discordian. None-the-less, the writing is a huge step up from the remake - the character interactions seem better so far.

I wasn't expecting a ship's tour but it was interesting: it has everything expected from the 60s-70s sci-fi build (although the placing felt a bit random). Just a little problem: they went outside without suits.
Apart from the "super large missile" (errm, couldn't take that name seriously each time they said it) intrigue, the episode was useful despite how it delayed the real meat (the travel).
The deck scene during the attempts was great.

4/5


@Faederwulf What are the remake OAVs problems? (people kept telling me to watch it instead of the Matsumoto TV series because it was the same in a better way)

And so the journey finally begins :-)
They even have holodeck on board :-P

Will probably never get over how 70s this is (the bell-bottom pants and disco guitar riffs always crack me up), but now the real story begins and I cannot wait to see more.

Also, I never noticed just how much other anime (mainly mecha) copied Yamato's main bridge. I guess ship bridges can't help but look similar, however I'm beginning to understand just how influential Yamato was.
