Legendary Japanese Anime Franchise Returns, & More Anime Fans Should Be Paying Attention

With Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199anime premiering later this summer, the venerable Space Battleship Yamato series looks ready to win new fans over, and reignite the original fandom. This sequel series will follow up on the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 retelling, providing new rebooted material that fans can see without trawling follow-ups of the 1974 anime. This makes it the best time for the fans to check out this underrated sci-fi classic.

With the franchise getting a new lease on life in this unexpected reboot, fans new and old shouldn't be afraid to check out Yamato for the first time, as the new continuity makes the setting more approachable than ever. The original Space Battleship Yamato is highly celebrated in Japan. Its sweeping space epic was considered a major maturing point in the anime's reception, and even became the first to win the prestigious Seiun Award. While its English localization, Star Blazers, is considered a gateway anime of the 1970s, its presence in the 2020s is barely felt. This is tragic, considering the effort that went into the 2199 reboot.
