Speaking of old Japanese cartoons made into movies, Space Battleship Yamato is due out at the end of the year In Japan.

I wonder how long it will take the rest of the world to see it in some form. Looks fairly true to the original, except the comedy relief doctor has been replaced with a new female character.

Along with the Argus, The Macross and the Imperial Star Destroyer the Yamato's always been one for my favorite iconic starship designs.
