Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.
The world-building is meticulous, but it's the characters who carry Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 through the more ambitious episodes. The year is 2199. The human race has been crushed in their war with the Gamilos, driven into underground cities by the invader's assault. Scientists estimate they have only a year left. Daisuke Ono and Kenichi Suzumura lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2013–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
Perfect for late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge. The kind of show that makes you feel the absence when it ends.
