The Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2205 project has gone along well and with the second and final part out last week, we knew previously that there is more on the way. The Rebel 3199 project was previously announced as the sequel series and now the head writer, Harutoshi Fukui, has confirmed that it’ll be set for a twenty-six-episode run when it’s broken down into that format. Fukui also confirmed that both Garman Garmillas and Abelt Dessler will appear in the film.
What we do have is that the official site for it has now updated with a new tagline which seems to indicate a different future in line for this project as it goes with:
“Change the future. The enemy is … the space battleship Yamato.”
That may be enough for fans to chew on for a bit until we get more details about this new sequel series.
The previous season of the show was directed by Nobuyushi Habara based on the series composition by Harutoshi Fukui. Nobuteru Yuki handled the character designs with Xebec handling the animation production.
The leading Japanese cast includes Daisuke Ono as Susumu Kodai, Houko Kuwashima as Yuki Mori, and Kenichi Suzumura as Daisuke Shima while the leading English cast includes Christopher Wehkamp as Susumu Kodai, Mallorie Rodak as Yuki Mori, and Ricco Fajardo as Daisuke Shima.

Plot Concept: It’s been three years since the Yamato’s voyage to restore Earth, and since then, a lasting peace with the Gamilans has borne fruit. Due to Earth’s newly acquired technological might, humankind has begun a military expansion. However, Gatlantis, a new threat lurking far beyond our star system, will once again put humanity to the test. Responding to a mysterious plea, the Yamato and its crew must undertake one more mission for the good of their species and of the universe itself.
