Last night, I found out from ANN that the makers of the film series Space Battleship Yamato 2199 are currently working on a film sequel scheduled for release sometime in 2014. This announcement was first brought up on Japanese television right after the airing of ep. 26 of the edited-for-DVD cut of the film series itself (ep. 26 was originally shown as the last fourth of the 7th and final installment of the film series, titled "Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Chapter 7: And the Warship Comes").
You know, I was hoping that after Chapter 7 of the film series came out, Enagio would start working on the sequel to the primary SBY universe-based film Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection since the story that began in SBY: R is still remains incomplete. But perhaps the owners of the Space Battleship Yamato franchise felt the need to abandon plans on going back to the primary SBY universe due to the lack of support suffered by SBY: R in Japan and Yamato 2199 becoming more popular than its 1970s predecessor.
