[adrotate banner=”1″]Space Battleship Yamato is a live-action version of the anime Star Blazers/Space Battleship Yamato, but this time it will be playing under the English name Space Battleship Yamato in theaters to try to attract foreign money. It is a $20 Million production packed with J-pop boy band stars. Okay, maybe only one boy band star. They also turned several crew members into females, so expect a lot of random people posting about how this movie raped their childhood or something because Dr. Sado is played by Reiko Takashima now. (Reiko Takashima also pops up in K-20!) Also starring is Takuya Kimura (of the boy band SMAP) as Susumu Kodai, Meisa Kuroki as Yuki Mori, and former male crew member Aihara is now played by actresses Maiko .
But you have to wait until December 2010 to see the final film, until then, all you have is this YouTube.
