Introduction
A year has passed since the Star Force returned to save the Earth but another danger now approaches from deep space. A gigantic White Comet hurtles toward our galaxy, obliterating everything in its path. But it is no ordinary comet—it is the deadly Comet Empire, conqueror of worlds... and Earth is the next target! Against orders, the Star Force blasts off to investigate, but even if they can get past the flagship Andromeda, they don't yet know the true nature of their new enemy!

The second season of Space Battleship Yamato was a definite improvement over the original, while the story’s more or less the same, that story being the Yamato, the same one used by the IJN, underwent renovation to make it suitable for combat in space, by just kind of flying out of the ocean in pristine condition, and it is humanity’s last hope, and the Yamato must travel to a distant planet to find a mysterious woman and avert complete destruction by an evil empire. And that’s what they do, with how much the story is practically a rehash of the original, it seems strange to me that rather than seeking out the mysterious woman because she holds something that they need in order to live, they just do it because, apparently, if some voice over the space-radio tells you that it needs help, th…

Leiji Matsumoto is back yet again, and with the sequel to the 1974 Yamato, aka Star Blazer. After watching the first season, I not only wanted to watch more of Matsumoto’s work, but had to watch more Yamato. The other man of note was Kenzou Koizumi whom did storyboard and chief animation director (known for story board on Lupin III, animation Galaxy Express, list goes on forever). Now did the sequel live up to the original or did it turn out much like the anime sequels of today?
Earth is about to be destroyed / conquered again, but this time by an alien race called the “Comet Empire.” Basically, they destroy everything in their path on their quest to conquer the universe... much like an alien race out of Doctor Who. Much like the original, Earth is at a technological disadvantage from the…

This is a review that i wrote after i watched the first season of this show remastered , in other words Space Battleship Yamato 2199 . Also beware , there are spoilers ahead , and some big ones i might add .
By the way , i will compare this with the Yamato 20199 , so if you didn’t watch that i suggest that you won’t read this .
First of all i have to say this season had some plot holes that could've been avoided , spoilers incoming .
In the end Teresa could've just teleported Kodai near Zorder and killed him there and she wouldn't had to die . Yamamoto could've ejected not salute Kodai like a idiot and Saito would've lived if he didn't go Guns Blazing ...
For some reason i find anime this old influenced by cartoons of the same age , you will see what i am talking about if you will watc…

This story line was the second part of the overall story. It grew up in many ways from the first one. Better art work and direction, writing all added more to a good story. We saw Derik Wildstar (if that was his name or how it was spelled?) as a older, more mature person than in the first one. He fit into the Commanders shoes and learned wisdom.
They had a terrible new enemy coming at Earth and so the Star force once again felt a need to help save others as well as earth.
It had it's dumb parts as well but what can one say about that. everything has dumbness in it as well as greatness.
They met up with a old enemy from the first series who wanted revenge.
The Space battles were pretty darn good, a lot better than the first series but this is to be expected as they got better as they wen…

Well, as stated in my previous review, the first season of Space Battleship Yamato was excellent to me. I kinda wanted to have more of it. Luckily, the second season, the Comet Empire, appeared as I googled it. I had my doubts though, since Leiji Matsumoto could have blown the soul of the anime with a weird / not fitting sequel of what the great Quest for Iscandar was (somethig that is very common in movies /tv shows nowadays). Anyways, I decided to give it a try, so after 6 days and something of downloading (and me praying for seeders that never seemed to come!), I managed to watch all of the 26 episodes.
The story:
The Comet Empire? What the... ok, I was kinda skeptical when I heard about it. But the storymakers made it good. The new enemy of planet Earth is even more cruel and powerfu…
