Which, if one knows their WWII US history, knew at least THAT option was a little too jingoistic. And, since "Star Blazers"/"Yamato" is still stuck in developmental Hell, it HAS been confirmed that one proposed script draft did use "Arizona" as the name of the ship. Goes to show you (again) that Hollywood's full of idiots. I know as a geek that if "Star Trek"s iconic ship "Enterprise" was localized as "Yamamoto" for Japan, I'd be pissed! Could be worse, though.

What's really amazing is the US distributor of "Star Blazers" made a bold choice localizing it. The show was part of the 2nd wave of repurposing anime properties for 1st run syndication. I think we all know by now that anime - even the ones actually MEANT for kids in Japan, are a lot more intense than the drek being sold as kids "entertainment" at the time. Japan's S&P for broadcast are WILD - over the top gratuitous violence, PG-13 nudity & sex wouldn't "play in Pretoria" as we used to say. Adding to all this is the more mundane aspect the nature of TV productions in Japan. Shows were much more episodic - series were aired once a week & seasons ended when the show's contract finished & had to be renegotiated if popular. Firat-run syndication in the US depended on "stripping" - an episode every 5 days. There had to be enough content to put a new episode out every day for a 50 week run. Continuity compared to Japan's market was a non-starter. Every episode had to stand on its own. This left distributors & localizers in a quandry. Most anime ran for one season. To make sure there were enough episodes in a syndication package, they'd buy 2 or 3 shows & re-edit them to make a new project on their own terms. This WASN'T an issue w/"Yamato". There was enough content to keep "Star Blazers" its own thing. What WAS a problem concerned the copious amounts of sex, death & continuity. Editing for content was nothing new. But continuity WAS - one simply couldn't air episodes willy-nilly or the story arc wouldn't make sense. Claster Productions knew they had something very special in "Yamato", so here's where they showed it - they packaged "Star Blazers" in story order & included a very detailed production bible to buyers. Content was a tad more problematic - they didn't want to water down the drama & hack ALL violence or "nudity". Yes, they edited the extreme stuff & replaced the "death" themes w/some dialogue changes, but they DID depict story complexity. There were no "saints" on the Argo. Some characters made immoral & unethical choices. People died by their own crap choices. The Gamilon enemies, particularly Desslok, were complex & relatable. He was even, dare I say it, honorable. There were funerals. There was cost. And they even blink & miss nudity. We got to see a topless Nova in a quick cutaway. God, I loved that show!...😁👏
Casting was so incredible. Everyone was there and looked more or less exactly how I hoped.

Deathstar eat you heart out. :) The W.M.G. is far more impressive. My favorite ultra-weapon though still has to be the Sunbeam from the Lensman books (my second is the gravity bomb in Gunbuster, even though it is more destructive, about 1/3rd of the galaxy destroyed as I remember). The Sunbeam focuses all the radiant energy from a star (Sol in this case) into a variable focus beam of energy. Described as being like turning the entire solar system into a giant vacuum tube, and the sun is the cathode. It could melt a planet in seconds. It wiped out an invading fleet of hundreds of thousands of ships and over a dozen "free" planets. Good old E.E. Doc Smith back in 1953, "Second Stage Lensman".
