Live action Space Battleship Yamato on SBS tonight

[1AZRAEL1]

It's not a bad movie. Was worth watching.

I'll be curious to watch this, not sure if I'll get home in time, might have to try that sbs on demand.

Oh my freakin' god... I've watched this movie several times (I got it on DVD a few years ago), and for the past year I've been teaching Departures, the new prescribed film text for HSC Japanese Extension, so I've had to watch that film several times, analysing it with a fine toothed comb... and only watching the film now on SBS 2 do I finally realise that Captain Okita is played by Yamazaki Tsutomu, who also played Sasaki in Departures! Man I feel slow(er than usual)!



And yes, I know that Kodai Mamoru is played by Kimura Takuya from SMAP, I'm not that slow. I'm also totally loving the anime-accurate score. 2 weeks ago, my daughter's Japanese school had their sports carnival, and one of the songs that they played was the original theme song for Space Battleship Yamato (instrumental version). I started singing along with it, garnering a few looks from some of the other parents.
