Summary: great movie.........very sad ending
Comment: One great movie, but a very sad ending. This is the entire 2nd series. It starts off just like the series they get the distress call for help and then blast off to the stars.......for one final time. many diffrences in this movie, one is that captian giddion is not captian of the andromeda, they pick him up by planet 11 after his fleet was destroyed. the whole trip to telezart takes about 5-7 mins after they pick him up. on the way back they are attacked by desler...as they call him in this movie, he attacks them thinking he will destroy them this time...as usual u fails and dies after helping kodai (wildstar) by telling him the weak spot of the comet empire. after that the battle of saturn lasts about 5 mins. same as in the series, everything is destroyed except the yamato (argo). after that it all goes down hill for the star force.... many people die and make sacrifices in the name of love for mankind (none of whom i will disclos) but at the end, kodai sitting beside a dead yuki (nova), steers the legendary yamato into the depths of the cosmos to meet his destiney.....*im a very unemotional person but this ending....i was moved by this, after watching the show on tapes that i have, and see it end like this, be sure to grab the subtiteld version, the dubbed is a half hour shorter.

Summary: Just What The Heck Is With That Kodai Boy, Anyway?
Comment: Okay, I'm coming from a different angle. Of course I loved this film, Yamato junkie that I am. The only thing is that Kodai's character nagged at me through the entire thing. If I were Yuki, I would have dumped his space ace butt a while before this film takes place. His mind doesn't seem to be in one place for any of it, which is good in a sense as it enables him to connect Teresa's message with the Comet Empire. He can command a cargo ship but forgets he's getting married in three days? He conveniently forgets that, uh, Yuki is a member of Yamato's crew as well? I won't spoil the ending, but I will say it's a little over the top as far as melodrama goes. Kodai aside, this film showcases how the characters have matured since the first film. Naturally, the animation is top notch, especially those launch sequences at which Matsumoto excelled. This is a must for Yamato fans, and highly recommended for anime lovers.

Summary: Classic anime that takes things nice 'n' slow
Comment: `Farewell to S.B. Yamato', the second `Yamato' movie (and the introduction of the Comet Empire) was originally intended to be the conclusion of the saga, and featured the killing off of most of the beloved characters, as well as a few of the ones we love to hate (none of whom I'll disclose). Fortunately, the popularity of this film eventually led to its adaptation and expansion on the small screen as the second `Yamato' series. In fact, there are a few moments from `Farewell...' that were shown in the original Japanese `Comet Empire' TV series, but were ultimately cut from the American `Star Blazers' adaptation. This includes Saito (Sgt. Knox) shooting & killing a Comet Empire tank commander at point-blank range, the deaths (for the second time) of a few of our beloved stalwarts, and a few other things that were covered up stateside.I've found the `Yamato/Star Blazers' series & flicks remarkably slow-paced compared to latter-day anime fare, and `Farewell...' is a good example of this. Much like the overly-long special-fx sequences in `Star Trek: The Motion Picture', this particular entry has a few maddeningly-long visuals. The approaching comet at the movie's opening is a good example of my need to hit the fast-forward button. But aside from this little nit, I find it refreshing to watch an anime feature that doesn't have the action-laden moments just whiz by, or feature those dizzying blur-line backdrops. Mellow anime... who'da thunk it? Fair warning: be sure to grab the subtitled rendition of this movie. The dubbed release is a half-hour shorter, and the dub's not all that great. `Late

I think I was lucky growing up in a house full of anime..I have seen MANY movies..Some are really unforgettable.A CLASSIC!..I loved the Yamato series since I first saw it on the TV..Like All of L.MAtsumoto and Masuda s work.

Yamato In the name of love is perfect for any generation..It goes all the way without stopping to even breath..The story starts in2201..After the last battle, earth is recovering from the great damage caused by Gamilon..But the Yamato suddenly re appears for a new mission with a new crew...ANd in the end ...Ohhhh..I dont want to write abaout this....Hope people will be lucky enough to see the SILENT ending of the great YAMATO....A must see.... 10000000 out of 10! ....I am not generous in giving grades!
