Last night, ANN revealed some news that should excite fans of Space Battleship Yamato. As confirmed, though the film series Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is still running with its fifth chapter/installment to be released in Japanese theaters on April 13, the T.V. series/OVA series cut of the anime itself had gained high nielsen ratings success during its 1st episode's first T.V. airing; it was declared to have won the highest viewership in years for a T.V. broadcast start to ever occur in a Sunday @ 5:00 PM (Japanese time) slot on Japanese T.V. networks TBS and/or MBS. However, audiences between the ages of 35-49 were reported to dominate the entire audience who tuned in for the epic anime series' T.V. broadcast launch (I',m guessing this includes those who knew Space Battleship Yamato from long ago,e ven duirng when the the original SBY series had its first broadcast).
Congrats to the makers of this amazing remake on this win. Keep up the fight, Yamato!
