Man am I glad to hear this, such good news! Even if it is a limited release, that's to be expected.

Hopefully this means a legit DVD/BRD release isn't too far behind. I already have the movie, but would love to own a licensed copy

^ so far it looks like the "domestic release" is super limited. 4 theaters or so, and not single one in a major city like New York or Washington DC...or the East coast for that matter...

While this is good news for the movie, I'm waiting for the release of the new updated series, Yamato 2199, here in the US. I've been a Yamato fan for 35 years, and anything Yamato coming over here to the US is very good news.

I e-mailed Voyager directly to ask them about "Star Blazers 2199", all they said was - "keep watching" the site. Since the series just finished in Japan, I'm hoping we'll know something within the next year. Yamato 2199 is absolutely A-MA-ZING!! (yes I've already seen it ) I would love to see it get the Star Blazers treatment, but a straight translation on R1 DVD would be great as well

Thanks for that Keith! It's very interesting, to say the least.

Well, I have an English subtitled copy of it on my laptop now. I'll watch it here in the next few days. Won't be the same as watching it in a theater, but oh well.

Well, I just finished watching this today. I thought it was pretty good. But I wasn't too fond of how it ended. Reminded me of how Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato ended. Looks like they basically incorporated elements of the first two movies into one. Still very well done. I would've loved to have seen a sequel made. Seeing the Andromeda and the other battleships along with Yamato in a second movie would've been pretty cool.

The film is also being released in Canada on November 11 at 7pm at various Cineplex locations. There is information on the Eleven Arts website. I hear from friends in the US that the theatrical version is MUCH higher quality than watching the DVD, so I suggest seeing it in theaters!
