Star Blazers 2199 Trailer

To everyone wondering why they renamed the Yamato to Argo for the English dub, it is quite obvious - the Yamato was a Japanese battleship from WW2 that was sunk by the allies in the last years of the war before Japan was forced to surrender. As such, the Yamato was something of a subject of pride for the Japanese (it was the largest battleship in the world at the time), however for the western world it was a symbol of one of the evil Axis Of Power from WW2.... probably no the best choice for a ship that would be the savior of the human race?

Secondly, when Japanese Anime is dubbed into English for western culture they try and westernize it as much as possible - Yamato is a very Japanese sounding, and well known Japanese icon. No good.

Also, Argo is the name of the mythical ship piloted by Jason and the Argonauts in Greek mythology on their epic journey - what better name for the ship being sent on an epic journey to the other side of the universe?

Plus, lets be honest - Argo sounds so much better than Yamato.

When I watched star blazers for the first time, I felt something discomfort with Deslok's voice actor's way, which sounds like somewhat.. decadent noble, comparing with Japanese one, which sounds like brave leader, in original YAMATO. But here in newer version, He perfectly fit with English voice acts..... Amazing!

I don't get why they call Yamato Argo in English its kinda confusing

I remember watching this as a kid just before school and G-Force
I have all of the corrections Star Blazers music store HMV order to for me

Awesome dude. I love how you used the original audio from the 1979 english dub.

Argo????なんだそれ、ヤマトだっつの！！！！

Argo??? Yamato!

I just recently watched the entire Earth 2199 story on Hulu Plus, and was just as delighted now when Desslok got his comeuppance as I was when I was 13 back in 1977. As a fan of the original series, I thank Mr. Nishizaki and Mr. Matsumoto for this absolutely amazing series. It touched the viewers heart in a way that not many other series at that time could, and STILL does!

You tease, good job.

Loved what you did!!

what are the names of the songs on this video especially at 2:40?

This doesn't sound like the official dub trailer. It sounds like Audio taken from the dubbing of the original Space Battleship Yamato series 1970 and having its spliced in with footage from $21.99. Also I really really don't like how they changed the name of the ship to Argo. Why can't they just release the show as it was originally intended to be released? I mean they did this with robotack. You got the Harmony Gold Robotech and then you have original Japanese version Macross which was dubbed into English were you even have all of the original character names.

I just watched the new series..dub..and I tell you I hope and pray it becomes dub and released at a reasonable price in the states

Great job, Dan! I loved Star Blazers as kid. It's been a joy to become a fan of the original Japanese series, Space Battleship Yamato and its new adaptation, Yamato 2199. Long live the Yamato!

This is rather well done.

Nicely done...

We didn't know any better as kids, as an adult "Argo" is cringe inducing. Your video is amazingly well done and accurate to what I expect out of American censorship when the English version is released.

Yep im old and first saw the Original Starblazers Gamilon Series way back on Australian TV in the 80s. Before I knew anything of the Original Japanese Series the ship I luved was called the Argo. I knew it was the Yamato but Argo is still very nostalgic for all of us who watched and loved those imperfect English Dubs of the Gamilon, Comet Empire and Bolar Wars Series. The voyages of the Argo and the Starforce on Starblazers made me the Space Battleship Yamato fan that I am today. Yep in our english versions a lot of crew deaths were sadly cut out and it would be years before I could listen to the brilliant original Japanese YA MA TO theme song sung by Isao Sasaki and learn of the Yamato Versions that Starblazers was based on!! This fan made dub is brilliant for me cause it brings back great memories of a beloved show that had me transfixed with those voices and a ship called Argo. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is MAGNIFICENT I wouldnt change anything and am still pinching myself that the Original Yamato Series has been so brilliantly remade into the Masterpiece that is Space Battleship Yamato 2199. I still have goosebumps thinking of watching those first episodes of Yamato 2199 seeing our beloved Yamato and her crew in all their stunning reworked animated glory flying off to face the Garmillas !! To hear those original voices redubbed here was a blast from the past for all Starblazers fans. How is the name Argo disrespectful of the Original Series when the Argo was the ship that introduced us English fans to this Magnificent Space Battleship Yamato Legacy that we all know and love!! For this fan made english dub THANKS for making us relive our childhood in the 80s just for a moment, this was fun. If it wasnt for the Original English dubbed Starblazers series I would never have known of the magnificent creation of Yoshinobu Nishizaki who made our beloved Space Battleship Yamato fly to the stars and beyond of which Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is the perfect version of a beloved show!!

Desler sounds cringeworthy
