Star Blazers Online Free
In the year 2199, a starship must make a dangerous voyage to the distant planet Iscandar and back to save Earth from an alien invasion.
At 12 years old, i WORSHIPPED this show. The plot was deep and interesting. I can, to this day, still sing the theme song. Very few of my friends recall this show. But, it was wonderful. I long for the day someone revives it. There was no greater excitement than when they finally reached Iscandar to save the earth.
I spent hours drawing my own battleship based space ships. This show was inspiring and beautiful. The characters were three dimensional and you cared what happened to them. I loved the discovery of the wrecked battleship and the process of turning it into a space ship. The love story was fun as well. I was truly upset by the result when they finally reached their goal. I wish this series had carried on. Sadly, at 13, it just seemed to disappear. I have never seen it broadcast since. But, Star Blazers was the highlight of my afternoons when i was a kid. A great TV show, that I would love to see released on DVD. If you own this show, PLEASE RELEASE IT ON DVD!!! There are a LOT of closet fans out there. We are ready to pay $39.95 for the complete collection.
If you can get hold of a copy, WATCH IT! (and tell me where you found it!) This is "Japan-imation" at it's best. This was the best animated series of its time. Star Blazers was made at a time when American cartoons were trite junk like "The Super Friends" and "The Brady Kids." When Star Blazers hit syndicated TV in America in the early 1980s, it was still categorically more engrossing than any American cartoon, any American science fiction... heck, it was better than 90% of American TV period.
In case you missed the plot summary: hostile Aliens (the Gammalons) attack Earth and defeat all of her military might. The Gammalons then proceed to launch a years-long nuclear attack against Earth which renders the entire surface unfit for life. Cowering in caves, humanity awaits its final extinction...
Until a message is received from the Planet Iscandar, offering aid. Iscander can provide "Cosmo DNA," which can resuscitate the Earth's entire ecosphere. Iscander also provides the blueprints for a powerful interstellar propulsion system: the wave motion drive. Desperate beyond measure, Earth refits one single starship, the Argo, with the wave motion drive, and sends her and her brave crew to cross 100,000 light years of Gammalon territory to reach Iscandar.
Right away, one can see that this cartoon has a much more intelligent plot than any shows intended for kids and adolescents. It is also notable that this series is a serial: each episode is part of a larger, evolving story. It would be decades before any American shows that are not "soap operas" would develop this format (like Buffy the Vampire Slayer). The plot is also dead serious: the world is ending, and ending in a way that was plausibly frightening to Japanese kids in the wake of Hiroshima and American kids in the wake of Three Mile Island. This didn't so much scare me as a kid, but it made the show totally riveting.
On top of the smart and emotional plot, the series had some other virtues. The "cinematography" was great, with good drawing and well-composed scenes. The lessons of the episodes were more serious and adult than typical kids shows, focusing on duty, loyalty, teamwork, and honor. The episodes themselves got a bit formulaic in the middle of the first season, usually ending in a desperate battle with Gammalon ships which can be won only be use of the wave-motion gun.
Sorry to be so long winded. If you like anime and you like sci-fi, you should watch at least the first season. Its better than a lot of anime than came after, and much more original than most anime. The second season was very good, too, although it was even more serious.
In 1979, Westchester Films imported the 1974, 26-episode Japanese Space Cruiser Yamato series and its 1979 sequel, the 26-episode Space Cruiser Yamato 2, and combined them into a 52-episode package for US syndication under the name Star Blazers. In 1981, Japanese television saw the premiere of a third Yamato series, this time running for 25 episodes. However, for numerous reasons, these episodes were not seen in America under the Star Blazers name until 1985, where they played in limited markets. The total number of episodes, in both Japan and the US, is 77. While all of the series episodes were eventually released under the Star Blazers name, there were numerous other Yamato features released in Japan. In 1977, capitalizing on the popularity of Star Wars, a feature film titled simply Space Cruiser Yamato, cut together from the 1974 series and a small amount of new animation, was released to great popularity. The following year, an entirely original feature entitled Arrivederci, Space Cruiser Yamato: Soldiers of Love was produced, which was intended to bring the saga to a close. However (in a complete reversal of the process for the original series and film), a second 26-episode series expanding the Arrivederci storyline appeared in 1979 and altered the ending, allowing for more sequels. This was then shortly followed by the 90 minute television special The New Voyage, which saw the heroes unexpectedly allied with old enemy Desslar (Desslok) in a battle to save Iscandar. This storyline continued in the 1980 theatrical feature Be Forever, Yamato. After the third television series produced lukewarm ratings and was shortened from a planned 52-episode run to a mere 25 episodes, the decision was made to end the saga, and in 1983, Space Cruiser Yamato: The Final Chapter (often known simply as Final Yamato) was released theatrically, and was long considered to be the last word on the Yamato story. However, in 2009, 26 years after Final, a new theatrical feature titled Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection was released, picking up the story an equivalent number of years later. A director's cut version was later released in 2012. A live-action version entitled Space Battleship Yamato (a more accurate translation of the actual Japanese title "Uchu Senkan Yamato") opened in December of 2010, and was the most expensive film produced in Japan to date. A sequel to the director's cut of Resurrection (which featured a drastically different ending than that of the theatrical release) is currently being planned.
While not technically a Star Blazers title, a curious English dub of Arrivederci was released by Voyager Entertainment in 1994, retitled Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato: In the Name of Love. The film used the Star Blazers character names but retained the name Yamato for the ship, likely as an attempt to introduce Star Blazers fans to the Yamato name and brand. The film, featuring an entirely different voice cast, was edited by half an hour and was a rather loose translation. Fortunately, an uncut subtitled version was released the following year. Generally speaking, the overall storylines are basically identical. The Star Blazers episodes, however, have all been shortened from their Yamato counterparts. Most of these edits consist of the deletion of "non-essential" scenes, removed to increase advertising time, rather than the removal of then-objectionable material. However, certain overall modifications were made in order to revise the content. Alcoholic beverages, often consumed in the original, became spring water or milk. Violent content was reduced, though what was considered acceptable or unacceptable would often vary widely from one episode to the next. Characters could die or be killed, but deaths from suicide or "one-way missions" would usually be eliminated or re-written. The final battle against the Comet Empire originally featured the deaths of five regular characters on the heroes' side; all of these were deleted. On the other hand, deaths of villainous characters were not uncommon in scenes of ship-to-ship combat. Contrary to popular reporting, it was always understood that ships and planes on both sides were operated by living beings; conversely, robots were always stated to be in control of tanks, and only tanks. The character of Princess Invidia was changed from Prince Zordar's mistress to his daughter, a particularly curious change in that it did not affect the storyline at all.
Other changes were less censorious in nature, and were in the purpose of re-directing certain concepts and attitudes. The term "Star Force" as a collective name for the Argo's crew has no equivalent in Yamato, wherein Earth's enemies would refer to their adversary by the name of their ship. The status of planet Gamilon as a twin planet to Iscandar was revealed virtually from the start in Yamato; Star Blazers holds this information back until the end. Additionally, the audio mix for Star Blazers contains extra sound, particularly in the discharge of the wave-motion gun. The obvious answer is that if she had, there would be no story. Looking for an in-story solution, one could speculate that, as there were only two living citizens of Iscandar remaining, they did not possess a ship capable of being manned by a crew of one which was also large enough to carry the Cosmo DNA, which is eventually revealed to be quite large.
In the original, Starsha indicates that she made the Earth people come to her as a test of their worthiness to survive. This rather harsh perspective, described on [link]www.ourstarblazers.com[/link] as the equivalent of "seeing someone drowning and throwing the life preserver far away from them," is absent from Star Blazers, though no alternate explanation is given in its place. At the time Star Blazers was being prepared for US distribution, it was still within the living memory of many who had fought in World War II, just thirty-four years earlier. It would've doubtlessly been objectionable to many if the Yamato had been presented as a heroic symbol, when it had previously fought against US forces in the Pacific. Thus, the name Argo was culled from Greek myth, in reference to the Argonautica, a similar story in which a young hero must make a long and dangerous ocean voyage to acquire a magical item that will save his homeland. A megameter is a real unit of measurement, equaling a thousand kilometers, or approximately 621 miles. At the time Star Blazers was in production, there was a push for the US to convert to metric measurements, so it would've been logical to assume their use in a story set in the 22nd century. The term does not appear in the original Yamato episodes, which instead used the invented term "space kilometers." The length of a space kilometer was never specified. This is simply a mistake on the part of the English scriptwriters, who appear to have gotten their terms confused. The error does not occur in the Japanese episode; in fact, as the scene in question occurs with the character's back to the camera, it contains no dialogue at all. Though this wasn't known at the time this episode was created, it does, in fact, snow on Mars, in both water and carbon dioxide form, though not to the extent seen in the show. It's possible some terraforming had taken place in the years leading up to the events of the series, which could account for this. In a later episode, Sgt. Knox states that the planet Telezart reminds him of "Mars before we improved it." This divergence from continuity is the result of an unusual error that occurred during the production of this episode. As scripted, Aihara (Homer) was indeed supposed to receive the transmission, but due to a miscommunication with the animation studio, it was animated featuring Ohta (Eager) instead. In spite of this, the Japanese episode nevertheless referred to the character as Aihara anyway, and he was given Aihara's voice actor for the scene. Star Blazers, fortunately, did not replicate these bizarre choices, and so a different character receives Desslok's message instead of the normal communications officer. After being sentenced to death for his handling of the battle at planet Balan, Lysis is reprieved by Desslok so that he may lead a task force against the Star Force before they can enter the Magellanic Cloud. Whether or not he survives this battle depends upon whether one is viewing the Star Blazers version, or the original Yamato. In Yamato, he concludes the battle by fastening his command ship to the Yamato's underbelly and self-destructing. In Star Blazers, footage of Lysis's ship approaching the Argo was reused and run backwards to give the impression that he had planted an explosive device and then retreated, with additional looped footage and added dialogue showing the character lamenting the necessity of reporting his failure to Desslok. While his fate is never elaborated upon afterwards, one could easily presume that, given his failure, the previously commuted death sentence might well have been carried out after all.
In the third episode of the sequel series, Desslok is seen assembling his surviving forces for a revenge strike against the Star Force. The last ship commander to report in is frequently mistaken for Lysis; however, the character actually gives his name as "Maizer," and is very different in appearance. The confusion is aided by the fact that it is clearly the same voice actor who played Lysis delivering the line. (This actor would go on to voice Gamilon General Garotte later in the series. Garotte also appeared at this muster, but with a different voice and design.) While there is no in-story explanation, the actual reason is fairly straightforward: to continue to use it would make the ship essentially invincible, which would destroy any dramatic potential for future battles. Of course, at the time the episode was written, this actually wasn't a problematic issue; the series had not fared well in the ratings, and as far as everyone involved knew, they were creating the last episode of the show, period. When Yamato got its second wind and began rising in popularity, this seemingly perfect defense mechanism was simply ignored for future installments. For numerous reasons, the English production for series 3 took many years to get rolling. By the time work was set to begin, the original voice actors had moved on and were no longer in communication with Westchester Films. Since the original production had been a non-union job, the actors had not been credited, and records had not been kept which would've enabled the new producers to locate them. Peter Fernandez, who supervised the dubbing of the third series, has stated that he tried to find the original cast, but was unsuccessful due to the absence of documentation. He then moved ahead with his standard stable of voice actors and his familiar Speed Racer style of dubbing, which frequently involved lengthy, run-on sentences; this was an attempt to provide one syllable of dialogue for each syllable of animation. The first two series had been produced with less regard for lip-sync, and a greater emphasis on naturalistic performance. There was a considerable gap between the US development of the second and third series, and when Peter Fernandez was brought in to produce the new episodes, he had not seen any of the Comet Empire series, and was therefore unaware that Talan had made previous appearances (technically, Talan also had appeared twice in the first series, but with a very different character design, and one could be easily excused for not realizing he was the same character).
In 1989, a five-issue Star Blazers comic produced specifically for the US market by Comico, titled "The Rise of Lotar," attempted to reconcile the continuity error by claiming that "Talan" was an official title given to Desslok's second-in-command, and featured flashbacks in which the previous holder of the title introduced Desslok to his young son, Masterson, who would one day himself assume the position. Unfortunately, the comic's author, Markalan Joplin, died before the series was completed, and the replacement writer, unaware of his predecessor's intentions, killed off the Masterson character, completely negating the elaborate work-around.
The change in writers notwithstanding, this rationalization runs into other problems due to Talan's appearance in the first series, at which time it is clearly General Krypt who is Desslok's executive officer. Pervyy posle Boga in hindi download free in torrent
