Today on my birthday I received a copy of the “Yamato Resurrection” movie from a foreign dealer through ebay. First, I wanted to study your website’s coverage of the movie before I decided to buy it. Now I have just finished seeing the movie, and I’m impressed that this is a great-quality anime movie, something many “Star Blazers”/ “Yamato” fans have been missing since “Final Yamato”. It has English subtitles. Last year on my birthday I received the Yamato/Star Blazers documentary (with English voice actors reading the English translations of the Japanese people who made the original production), so this is the second consecutive birthday that I received a Yamato video. I will continue to remember the great history of this iconic series.
