I remember this show from the early 80s. I rushed home everyday afterschool to watch it at 330 pm. This video appears to be the restoration that Voyager Entertainment did in the early 90s. Originally it was sold on VHS and ported over to DVD at the turn of the century. They did a really nice job of cleaning up the video and audio. But the second season wasn't given the same level of care though. That could be a limitation from the sources that were available. Almost everything made for TV back in the 70s onwards was recorded straight to analog video designed for broadcast (with DTV they would switch to digital sometime at the turn of the century). So at the time when Voyager Entertainment released it on VHS, they probably only had access to analog masters that were 25 years old at the time. Analog degrades with age and being recopied. The highest quality videos are of the original source material from Japan, under the title Space Battleship Yamato. You would also see how much had to be edited out for the western version that is Star Blazers.
Yes, I enjoyed watching the subtitled Japanese 'originals' - so different than the US, and better in some ways, and some ways, not as good "emotion-wise' as the US release. (IMO)
Good advice. Looking up a lot of these how-to videos as I have many posters to mount. There are so many things people can do themselves instead of paying someone else exorbitant amounts.
Thanks! That was my main reason for doing this video. It's not as hard as you think - and you can really do a nice matt for $5.00 and some patience! :)
LOL! "We jumped thousands of lightyears..." Yeah, all the way from the Moon to Mars. At most, a distance of about 24 light minutes. I knew this was wrong even when I was a kid, watching Star Blazers for the first time. You think somebody might have checked the dialog.
This was and still is my favorite show in the afternoon I would go to the air and space museum and pretend that the aircraft carrier was the argo thank you guys for the great memories 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I absolutely love this show with all my heart! Same - I would rush home to NEVER miss an episode. If you missed one, you were crushed!!!I was so excited for the updated 'remake' but was sorely disappointed with Season 2, and what they did with Gatlantis/Comet Empire
This has everything! A great story, look and a great score. But for some inexplicable reason they screwed up the live action movie. Well I don’t think it should’ve been done as a standalone movie to begin with.
Agreed - I was hugely disappointed in the Live Action Movie. Just make the series we all love - WHY do you have to screw with it? Same with the Yamato 2199 Animation. They totally screwed up (in my opinion) Season 2, the Comet Empires. UGH.
This was fantastic. The story could use some tweaks, but the voice acting was great on all counts, and you nailed the "feel" of an Indiana Jones adventure. I'm not usually a fan of audio dramas, audio books etc., but I could easily see myself listening to a whole series of these. Thank you for helping Indy go on one more adventure!
@@JerryScullionLeast I could do. I've been looking for more Indy or Indy-style adventures ever since I realised the series is definitely over with Dial of Destiny last year. Sadly there's not much out there that measures up, and the little that does I already knew. So unexpectedly finding your production was like finding a lost treasure. It belongs in a museum! :)
