Celebrating 50 years since the TV broadcast of “Space Battleship Yamato” in 1974, this teaser visual poster features the catchphrase of this work, which is developed at a turning point in the series, and words from Harutoshi Fukui, who serves as the general director.

[Special news]

The story of “Space Battleship Yamato” enters unprecedented territory!
This is an ambitious work that adds a new interpretation to the elements of the third theatrical film Yamato Forever,'' released in 1980, and reorganizes it into a 26-episode series. Does "3199" in the title mean 1,000 years from now? What kind of hidden relationship exists between Desalium, which appeared as an enemy, and Earth? The surprise shown at the end of the previous work continues to expand. The drama side is also more and more fulfilling. Moriyuki is captured by enemy officer Alfon, and Kodai Susumu is unable to escape from his remorse - their love is put to the test of separation. Furthermore, Starsha's orphan Sasha will also be heavily involved. As all the characters act with their own will, a fierce battle filled with tension unfolds, and the meaning of that battle is once again questioned... What does the keyword “REBEL” really mean? If you recall, Yamato's story began with arebellion against hopeless destiny”. Now is the time to pay attention to the actions of “REBEL” exhibited by Yamato and the crew in a work world that has been greatly scaled up to a conflict between interstellar nations!

<Story>

At the time, it was 2207 AD. Two years have passed since the incident in which the main planet Garmillas and the planet Iskandar disappeared. Suddenly, a mysterious gigantic object called Grand Reverse appears in the solar system. Despite the Earth Defense Force’s good fight, the Grand Reverse easily broke through the multiple defense networks and calmly descended into Earth’s new capital. A group of paratroopers appeared without a sound. A multi-legged tank landing. In the blink of an eye, the capital was conquered. Is there no way for Earth to resist? At that time, a top secret order was given to the former Yamato fleet crew. “Gather to Yamato!!” A mysterious singing voice can be heard there. A mysterious man whispers, “I’m back.” What is the surprising identity of the invaders? With the fate of humanity at stake, Space Battleship Yamato begins its voyage into unexplored space and time.

[Staff comment]

■Executive producer/writing supervisor Shoji Nishizaki

Twelve years have passed since “Yamato 2199”. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the staff for being with us during this long voyage.
This work, “Yamato, Eternally His REBEL 3199” is a story that Harutoshi Fukui, who serves as general director and series composition, has been developing the concept for five years.
Strangely enough, this work seems to have foreseen the events that are currently occurring on Earth – the tragedy and chaos that violence brings.
Yamato and the people of Earth are overrun and at the mercy of a gigantic “enemy,” but they continue to fight back against it.
Live it. I have to live.
I and everyone else are living with various circumstances.
Please witness the new voyage of Space Battleship Yamato, a mirror of us.

■General Director Harutoshi Fukui

Yamato is a story of resistance.
Resistance to others who unilaterally violate boundaries and force submission. Resistance against unreasonable natural disasters that ravage people and society.
As they face and fight against these things, they end up sacrificing their freedom and humanity, and lose track of what they were trying to protect.
Resistance against human stupidity, which is two sides of the same coin with kindness.
Half a century after its first departure, that story of resistance is becoming a reality that will determine our tomorrow.
The story of Space Battleship Yamato, 50 years old, is being told in such an era. All the staff members are putting their hearts and souls into creating this story.
Please stay tuned.

■Director: Naomichi Yamato

My heart trembles at the realization that I am destined to be involved in the “eternity” that I saw when I was a child with my late father.
It is a core work for me, a work that is close to my heart.
I will do my best to ensure that the names of past directors are not tarnished.
Thank you all for your kind support.

■Music Akira Miyagawa

The 1980s, when “Yamato Forever” (1980) was produced, was also the time when my father, Yasushi Miyagawa, began working with Kentaro Haneda.
This song could only be played by Mr. Haneda…! Some songs have been created that make me think.
This time, because I am trying to recreate something that combines the wisdom and skills of so many people, I have come to think that I want to struggle together with the next generation.
Therefore, for “REBEL3199”, we invited Shu Kanematsu, a pianist and composer who we have been paying attention to for several years, to participate.
I am filled with gratitude for creating sounds that I would never have thought of in my drawer.
The reproducibility of the original music is higher, and the heavy parts are even heavier and sharper.
We are now entering a phase of recreating not only the appearance but also the spirit of our predecessors.
I hope you look forward to it.
