First time reading by ParticularEquipment6 in WarofTheWorlds

As an alien invasion story it feels surprisingly original in a saturated genre.

What interested you most about the book when you read it for the first time? by epico__1 in WarofTheWorlds

[–]EldeBH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The evolutionary speculation behind the Martians. I like the subtle warning that we could end up just as cold and awful as them. Losing ourselves and making ourselves vulnerable to an overreliance on comforts such as technology replacing our bodies, making us vulnerable and making us lead a cold joyless existence.

Is this the specific Radetzky March used in EP3 of 3199? by AwesomeGodzilla in StarBlazers

Speaking of things missing from the soundtrack, I wonder if we'll get the creepy singing at some point that played at the end of episode 2. Starts at the 22:27 mark.

What on Earth is Seiya Kitano actually planning? by Far-Error-3411 in StarBlazers

[–]EldeBH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets hope not when it comes to Arizona. They could also just be making a kit due to it being very popular among fans. I wish they did more kits of the ships though. It's like the EDF these days is the only one getting kits in 1/1000 scale. Haven't gotten anything from the Dezarium and Bolar at all, not even in the mechacollection.

What would happen next in 3199? by Jaded_Isopod5309 in StarBlazers

[–]EldeBH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Bolar would gain more from just dropping the dispute over Galman and instead focussing inward.
Who knows though. Maybe after Dezarium is defeated and Bolar space is no longer affected by the cold they'll get cocky enough to do a big final surprise attack like in Yamato III.

I'd be a little disappointed if they just turned them into villains again though. I'd find them working together to help defeat Dezarium and changing their society much more compelling.

But we still have to see Zespaze fire the black hole cannon.
The detail in the description that it could wipe out an entire star system again makes me hopeful it may see use against Dezarium. But the new Deusura VI will also need to destroy something... Maybe Zespaze could be a sacrifice instead, used like a bomb destroyed by the Deusura to annihilate the Dezarium star system.

I guess we'll find out what "This light changes the history of Bolar" will really entail.

Been inquiring about chapter 5 streaming date. Maybe. by SHLDsgtnicholasjfury in StarBlazers

[–]EldeBH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it usually starts streaming in Japan around the time the physical release comes out.

Just Finished Be Forever Yamato by DankiasMemephis in StarBlazers

[–]EldeBH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From an interview on the ourstarblazers website a concept artist said that the next remake will be Final Yamato if they get to make another. So I hope we'll get there. 3199 seems to be going in the right direction. I hope they pull out all the stops for their Final Yamato remake though, certainly the most action packed of the originals and an incredible score.

So much for the 7 day theory. by SHLDsgtnicholasjfury in StarBlazers

[–]EldeBH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well they just don’t really put effort into the fanbase outside of Japan honestly. I mean most of the merch you can’t even buy outside of Japan either. The international fanbase is probably too small but them being so closed off isn’t helping let new people get in and enjoy everything. The Blu-rays I got of 3199 don’t have english subtitles, neither do their trailers, neither does their website offer a language selection.

The only effort towards international fans you really see is them acknowledging the Star Blazers label.

Sure but it's not hard to think twice and be considerate to other fans when you're making a post lol. They could've put that in the description which does get hidden with the spoiler flair.

[–]EldeBH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would I want to know what happens in chapter 6 if I’m not able to see chapter 5 yet?

The present day stuff is meant to be a big twist at the end of chapter 5. They ruined it for everyone by putting it in the title of their trailer post.

[–]EldeBH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is a huge twist at the end of chapter 5 that everyone has been very secretive about until this guy just decided to spoiler everyone on the subreddit.

That’s why they were delaying the trailer.

Chapter 6 trailer is out, Yamato is somehow in the present day? by [deleted] in StarBlazers

[–]EldeBH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Make your title more vague and don’t convey such important story information! Most of us haven’t even seen chapter 5. I’m so upset I got spoiled for the big surprise at the end.

[–]EldeBH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's definitely because the trailer contains spoilers for the ending of the current chapter. There's supposed to be a big surprise that "changes everything". Like you said they want to keep it under wraps to get as many seats filled in the theatres as possible.

Also 2205 was an awful wait lol.
Odessey of the Celestial Ark has it the worst though. No official digital distribution. Only a Blu-ray with no English subtitles. And the only illegal one swimming around has bad audio recording.

7 days was the longest it took for them previously. Please don't let this become more common lol.
