Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe
drat, and here I thought the series stopped in the 1970s and there's only a bunch of movies beside that. :psyduck:

the original tv saga continued into the 1980s. it also had a movie (yamato ressurection) in 2009. this however is part of the reboot series, which started in 2012 with space battleship yamato 2199 which was a series of 7 movies, made into a 26 episode tv series. 2202 is the second season of the reboot, of which the first movie is out. even the old school fans tend to prefer 2199, so check it out

Still haven't seen the movie, assuming the series continues after it?

yeah sorta. the movie technically takes place during 2199, but it sets up the villains of 2202

Yamato 2199 was great and I am definitely looking forward to the sequel.

He'll be back in flashback or some other form at the very least. You can get rid of a brave man, but his spirit remains.

episode 2 has been subbed, which i believe concludes the first movie. there's a new op now, but the song is just an instrumental version of the old op, hope it gets lyrics soon! all the parts where they showed the rebuild earth were nice, but otherwise its still mostly setup. still, seeing all the gamilas and earth interactions is cool

So should I watch the movies, the tv series, or both?

They're effectively the same, unless you were going to a theater in Japan at the time.

The movies were just groups of episodes collected together. There's no real difference.

Something had me confused though, weren't the Gatlanteans destroyed by the Gamillians in season 1, and were just a small puppet nation to them?

No, there's a whole movie called Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Odyssey of the Celestial Ark that somewhat touches the subject.

they never were destroyed in season 1, they were a big offscreen threat for gamillas in fact, with them being mentioned offhand several times. you can also see a few gatlanteans during the prison arc, and a destroyed gatlantean ship when they get stuck in the warp. you might be thinking of the jirellians (mizella and mirenel, psychic space elves) or the zaltz (the first enemies they fight, the guys that infiltrate yamato etc)?

To add to what others have said, in the 2199 movie the Gantlanteans were treated kinda like a giant horde of space huns that Gamilas was holding back, and now that Yamato hosed up the Gamilas navy the Gantlanteans are starting to run roughshod over everything. We'll see if 2202 keeps going with that idea at all.

Also I guess Gantlateans explode now?

You're all right, I was confused, it was these guys:

the Alterians. I have no idea why my mind parsed Alterians to Gatlanteans. Mixed my shades of humanoids skin colors up!

Unrelated to all this but I got remembered while searching for this: sometimes this show has great design for ships and weapons and stuff... and sometimes you get the giant space suppository.
