When Final Yamato closed out the production years in 1983, most people assumed that the saga was conclusively finished. However, Executive Producer Yoshinobu Nishizaki was already devising a new slate of projects that would bring it back in new and interesting ways. It took longer than he expected, but most of those projects came to fruition, bringing us the renaissance we’re living in now. This renaissance includes numerous games on different platforms with innovative visuals that easily keep pace with their anime counterparts.
With so many different Yamato works to keep track of, some of which didn’t make it to the finish line, let this index be your guide to Cosmo DNA articles that sort it all out.
