Star Blazers 2199 Omnibus Volume 1

2199 will be Earths final year--unless the voyage of Space Battleship Yamato can succeed! The alien Gamilas have devastated the biosphere determined to reshape our planet into their own new home. But a third force has intervened as an emissary from the distant Iscandar has given humanity the plans for a faster-than-light drive. If the Yamato can battle its way through the Gamilas fleet to reach Iscandar their technology can heal the Earth--but the odds against us are literally astronomical... The classic 1974 anime TV series Space Battleship Yamato became a fan phenomenon in North America under the title Star Blazers. Now the epic tale of a legendary WWII battleship retrofitted as a spacecraft on a mission to save Earth has been remade by the generation of Japanese creators that grew up inspired by it--with staff including Yutaka Izubuchi (Cowboy Bebop: The Movie) Nobuteru Yuki (Kids on the Slope) and Hideaki Anno (Evangelion)!
