Space Battleship Yamato 2199

Have you ever watched anything and just said to yourself, "Man I wish that was how my life was"? Well, with Space Battleship Yamato 2199, I can comfortably say F#ck that noise! "If that were me I'd shit my jumpsuit every 8 seconds" would be a more realistic response. From the very first episode shit gets real, real fast. Humans just cruising around in Sol space, in their little fleet of cruisers minding their own goddamned business, when all of the sudden an entire Armada of bluish-white dudes in green ships called the "Gamillas", appears, and just destroys everything, and then lights a burning bag of dookie on our doorstep just for the hell of it. All the while this is going on, Earth has become a desolate desert wasteland that is bombarded frequently by planet bombs (giant nuclear asteroids with a parasitic fungus type plant inside) from a Gamillas outpost way the f%*k out in space somewhere. So naturally people live underground now in 2199 and are slowly dying off due to disaster, war, and starvation. Well now that the shitty, depressing atmosphere is set, lets jump right in.

The story is about a ragtag handpicked crew that are given a huge ass ship with a special "warp type" drive and cannon that was constructed over a few years in secret, and based off some plans a hot alien chick gave to them. The hot alien chick, also tells them that her sister ,a princess will give the humans a device to put earth back to normal. Fast forward 2 episodes in, the humans are flying out to space on an almost two year journey to another galaxy to meet this princess, grab the world fixing thing, and scoot ass back home in a "space" "battleship" called the "Yamato" and the year is "2199", creative and descriptive title I know, genius, how efficient. Well some catastrophic shit happens every episode, there are epic space battles, people die, the Yamato's Captain and crew are bad-asses, the ships doctor is always drunk, and they're constantly lost in the expanse of space. That sums up the show. So now go watch it, and if you have seen the original series like I had, this is twice as awesome and far less 1974ish. We have given this beloved series an 8.5/10, form your own opinions and check the ANIME page for the link/button to watch the whole series.
