New Yamato Anime Announced

Japanese production company Venturesoft has officially announced plans to create a 52 episode Space Cruiser Yamato anime TV series. However, the new series is not based on any previous Yamato but is instead an entirely new continuity and self-contained story distinct from the rest of the “Leiji-verse.” The production is currently known under the tentative working title “Dai-Ginga Series Dai-Yamato Hen 7 vs 7” (Giant Galaxy Series Tale of Great Yamato 7 vs 7). The story revolves around the Earth’s final stand against the invading 7 fleets of the Metanoid invasion. Six of the Earth’s great battleships are destroyed, leaving only the seventh, the Yamato, is Earth’s last line of defense.
