Oldie but Goodie- Space Battleship Yamato

Space Battleship Yamato, or as many people know it as in the US as Star Blazers, was made in October 1974 and ran till March 1975. It was written by Leiji Mastsumoto and Yoshinobu Nishizaki. The manga came out a month after the anime was released and the ended a month after the show ended. The series episode director Noboru Ishiguro said low ratings and high production expenses forced producer Yoshinobu Nishizaki to trim down the episode count from the original 39 episodes to only 26. The 13 episodes would have introduced Captain Harlock as a new series character. Last week I did Mobile Suit Gundam, this is what inspired it. Space Battleship Yamato has inspired most Mech anime. That is pretty Epic.
