Hideaki Anno's Passion Comes to Fruition
As a longtime Yamato fan, Hideaki Anno is involved in the production of 'Space Battleship Yamato √2199.' His deep fascination with Space Battleship Yamato since middle school is heavily reflected in his works such as 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' and 'Shin Godzilla.' Regarding this project, Anno commented, "I am creating it with hopes and prayers for the next generation."
Reuniting with Yutaka Izubuchi
Yutaka Izubuchi is also deeply involved in this project. He has experience as the chief director of the 'Space Battleship Yamato 2199' remake project, and he will participate as a director in this movie as well. Expectations are high for this new Yamato story by the strong collaboration of Studio Khara and Production I.G.
Positioning of the New Space Battleship Yamato Work
'Space Battleship Yamato √2199' follows the flow of 'Yamato Forever: Rebel 3199' and showcases the further expansion of Space Battleship Yamato. While strongly conscious of the early works in the Yamato series, this new production is expected to be depicted from a new perspective. Alongside a homage to Yamato's grand history, new developments await.
Challenges Beyond the 50th Anniversary
Over 50 years have passed since the birth of Space Battleship Yamato, and it is beloved by numerous fans. In 2024, a special screening will be held to commemorate the 50th anniversary, where Anno announced the production of new animation material. His love for Yamato knows no bounds, and he continues to undertake the challenge of movie production.
