October 2022 was one of the busier Yamato months we’ve had since the premiere of 2205 Chapter 2, especially at the end when it started to heat up with a quick succession of events and a VERY welcome announcement. Here’s how it all came about…
The explosion of diverse media coverage continued well after the August premiere of the Yamato movie brought anime into Japan’s mainstream entertainment culture. October 1977 felt like a collective breath of air after the avalanche of September, but the next wave was coming.
Shinya Asanuma wanted to participate in the world of Yamato since his boyhood, and as you will see from his account of selling himself to the production company, he is passionate about his work. The rich and powerful mecha depictions in Yamato 2205 are the result of his efforts.
September 2022 was pretty slow, but there’s no bad month to be a Yamato fan. Between a surprise TV appearance, new Hyuga volumes from Hachette, a spectacular hobby show, and a nice uptick in fan activity, there was always something right around the corner.
