News: Movie 3 of Yamato 2199 Announced

Today, ANN and Japanese language website Yamato Crew reveal that movie 3 of the 7-film theatrical series cut of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is scheduled for release in Japan on Oct. 13, and will be titled "Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Endless Voyage". This film, to later be split into eps. 7-10 for the T.V. series of the anime, will focus on Yamato crew's contact with the Gamilus, but this time, the Yamato 2199 production team promise to tell the story in a way never told in the 1974 Space Battleship Yamato so as to further allow a good deal of distinction between the two anime versions of the classic sci-fi tale while the premise remains unchanged. So far, the movie 1 (known as either "Departure to a Faraway Destination" or "The Long Voyage") came out in April, and movie 2 (known as either "Fight to the Death in the Solar System" or "Desperate Battle in the Heliosphere") is to be released on June 30.
