Boy, it's been months since my last posting of my anime online viewing status. Well, hours ago, I was browsing around YouTube to see if there were any videos featuring fan-made Star Blazers content or anything containing updates on U.S. film studio SkyDance Productions' mission to get the license to produce for western audiences a live-action film based specifically on the "Star Blazers" dubs of the classic Space Battleship Yamato series (not the original Japanese version itself), and while searching and noticing that no new updates on SkyDance's goal have yet popped up, I stopped to notice that the first seven episodes of the 26-episode T.V. series cut of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (the cut to be broadcasted on Japanese T.V. next year) are now available on YouTube and subbed with English captions, with 19 more to come later. So far, I have watched up to episode 6. Weird case scenario was that the streaming videos used the label "New Star Blazers", which I find to be ironic since the subbings of the Yamato 2199 episodes do not use any names from the Star Blazers dub (ex: Susumu Kodai is usually called "Derek Wildstar" in the Star Blazerized versions while maintaing his original name in the original Japanese language versions of the SBY anime)
