You can't just WMG everything, cus it's a metaphor.
Right, the Yamato is not a ship designed to bring death and destruction to the universe, it's designed to bring hope and salvation. The WMG is, supposedly to be used for defence. This concept is pretty core to the story of the show.
Natsume, while good, is staunchly inferior.

Oh my god. Why did you have to remind me that show ever existed?
:Kurita.
I just couldn't get into it. Which I think I blame on the MC who I don't like at all. Which I guess is saying given Natsumes personality.
amazing.
I hate this forever and ever.
If someone put out a "worst thing ever animated" list, James Bond Jr would have to be near the top.
Did I see Oddjob in a tracksuit and gold chain?
Probably!

I had just forgotten about this show's existence. Thanks.

This one's quite easy, I think:
The journey needs to be done in a year because that's all the time Earth has left. They can't factor in additional time because humanity soon faces extinction and this is the fastest they could build and launch the Yamato.
As to why they weren't tasked with destroying the Pluto base, at this point it makes no difference to the planet. Everyone is already living underground and the surface is completely contaminated. A few more planet bombs won't make any difference, much like stopping the Pluto base won't make any difference because the radiation is destroying the planet. Hence, taking time out from a very tight schedule is a bad idea.
However, destroying the base certainly raises morale in terms of getting revenge. As hollow as that may be.

I suppose that four of the letters in KOTORI are in that name, but that name isn't Ritsuko either.
Remember, folks, Kotori is the only girl deemed worthy to appear in every single episode of iM@S!

Well worth anyone time !
I don't know what is worse the fact that this cartoon existed or the fact that they made 2 games out of this , one that is no doubt in the top 10 worse soundtrack of the snes area .
1 hour of Mushishi after so many years. But well, we still have to wait for Fansubs.

As good as it is, I wouldn't eat up the episodes very fast. Savour a pair of eps each day, it will be better.
nope, streaming on Crunchyroll
No Crunchyroll for me since I'm from Europe.
But well, I'm not a big fan of Crunchyroll anyway. The lack of typeset drives me crazy. I have to know what's written everywhere, even if it's not of any importance

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - 01
Oh man. Oh man! This is pretty sweet. The CG isn't half bad at all. The space battles! The dog-fighting! The
. The music in general. I'm getting a real old school feel from this (which I guess it to be expected given its a remake).
You also seem to have a character set for development in the younger Kodai. He's got that brash, impetuousness nature you'd expect. Shoot first, ask questions later. Okita looks like he's going to be a great character as well.
I can't comment too much on the plot being fairly typical as this is a remake and perhaps at the time, stories of this nature weren't so common. The desire for revenge against an alien race so early in a series, for example, reminds me quite a bit of Mospeada. I think the original Yamato came out well before it though. I'm wondering if the very grim nature of the fate of the earth and the apparent ruthlessness of the aliens was fairly common when this series first released.
Character designs are good but I think the really impressive stuff lies with the machinery (especially the Model 52). The final shots of
were quite pretty as well.
Looking forward to the rest of this. I can't believe this show flew under my radar, given how much I love shows like LoGH, Crest/Banner of the Stars and even Irresponsible Captain Tylor. I hope this is a real character-driven show.

This seems like the perfect thread to ask this question, so here I go:
I want to try to get into anime, but I don't really know where to start. The guys on my favorite podcast(Super Best Friendcast) really like Kill la Kill and Attack on Titan, and I generally have the same tastes as they do.
So the question is: Are these 2 accessible at all for someone who has not been following an animated show since forever? And if not, what are your suggestions?

As much as it hurts me I wouldn't recommend those shows for Anime starters.
You should watch a couple of episodes from classic animes like Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Code Geass, Gundam, Toradora, Clannad, etc (different genres) and see which one fits your tastes.
THEN, you should look for more recent shows from that specific genre. Otherwise, you'll get overwhelmed, I would definitely if I watched Kill la Kill with no experience.
Start with Cowboy Bebop, Nausicaa, Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan and Mushi-shi
After you know what you like the most, ask again.
Try them out. They're straightforward enough.

Ah it's been a while since i saw this. i was laughing way back then because they took real porn actors to dub this , and they were just so innexperienced that it resulted in this mess.
i call this the "power of F-grade voice actors"
