Edit
Space Battleship Yamato (宇宙戦艦ヤマト U-chū Sen-kan Ya-ma-to) is a legendary and classic Japanese science fiction anime series and the name of its eponymous space craft, the Yamato. It was created by Matsumoto Leiji and Nishizaki Yoshinobu in the early 70s.
The first TV anime series aired on Yomiuri TV in October 6, 1974 and was followed by several animated movie sequels and two more TV series seasons (broadcast in 1978 and 1980 respectively). A new series based on the first season called Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 was released in 2012.
It is notable because it was one of the first military science fiction anime that depicted space battleships and cosmic battles among fleets of spaceships. Its creators were also inspired by Star Trek when the series was being developed.
Space Battleship Yamato influenced several later sci-fi anime like Gundam, Macross, Gunbuster and Legend of the Galactic Heroes among others. It also influenced various productions in the west, like Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica (Both the original and re-imagined versions).
It is also known to English-speaking audiences as Space Cruiser Yamato or Uchuu Senkan Yamato. In Spanish and Latin American countries it was called Astronave Intrepido ("Starship Intrepid"). In European and Asian countries it was also called Cosmoship Yamato, Anti-Space Ship, Journey to the Final Galaxy and Star Patrol.
Its last anime film sequel was released on December 2009 and a live action film adaptation of the first TV series was released on December 2010 in Japan.
A new project titled Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2202: Ai no Senshi-Tachi has been announced.
