    I think there are two versions, the original was from the 70s and then there was a remake called Space Battleship Yamato 2199. The remake stayed very true to the original but made some improvements, I would wholeheartedly recommend starting there, it’s a really great show, the battles get more and more climactic. It gives us the same feel as Battlestar Galactica, in enemy territory against all odds. I believe this remake has some sequels but I haven’t watched them

      The version from the 70s inspired Aum Shinrikyo.

        There also was a live action movie , released around 2008 or '09, not sure, which I found quite enjoyable. Don’t remember if it was actually any good though.

          I ended up watching this yesterday, their heart was definitely in the right place but it does need the big budget treatment to work as a live action IMO, and a longer format

          Can do. I don’t watch much (any) anime but I’ll toss some eyeballs at this.
