Have been a fan of Yamato since it was shown as Star Blazers in 1979. While I loved the old show, The Yamato's internals were always a bit dodgey, particularly in regards to the hangers and the engine room. (As if the Yamato was part TARDIS on the interior. :D ) I've watched your OTHER video showing the launch system. It shows that the "Carousel" system not only makes sense but that it actually FITS logically in the hull (The larger 333 Meter length of Yamato from 2199 as opposed to the old 265 Meter length from the original) between the outer armor and the smaller engine room spaces! And now you've shown us something I don't think I've seen even in Yamato 2199 (though I don't know if it is shown in 2202) - the landing/docking sequence! GENIUS on BOTH! I always THOUGHT even from the original that an automated landing guide would've made far more sense than actually trying to land manually! This just "feels" correct and REAL on so many levels!
Funny how in the show itself they simply fly in and out of the landing bay.. In reality this seems to me to be a very over complicated launch and landing system for a starship that's always sustaining serious battle dammage.. Nice CGI though :)
As a longtime starblazers fan of the original Series, I often wondered about how the fighter planes were placed inside the Yamato, now I know. This video was very surprising and enjoyable to watch, thank you.
Grew up watching USA version Star Blazers in the late 70's to early mid 80's so this helped fill in what was hard to figure out.Side note question is there a video on the top rear catapult system where WildStars fighter launched from?? sorry don't know his Japanese name role was pilot and main gun position.Great video.
You know - the only thing missing is showing how the Yamato crew recover the two Cosmo Zero fighters that are launched from the catapults above. But... it's okay. Since we saw a version of launch and recovery of one in Yamato 2199 Rainbow Cluster Battle via the side doors under the catapults.
@@williamkwl6153 still seems too slow. 1 to 2 min window still a lot of planes and pilots will be left behind. Yamato isnt an aircraft carrier by design. 🤔
