Synopsis:

Facing imminent planetary extinction, the Gamilan people place their hopes on Aberdt Desler, who orchestrates a calculated deception to secure a new home for his civilization. His plan hinges on gaining control of Galman, a planet inhabited by a strikingly similar species. However, their relocation is violently disrupted when an unknown force attacks, warping both the Gamilan homeworld and Iscandar, the realm of Queen Starsha.

Simultaneously, Earth’s Space Battleship Yamato embarks on a routine training mission with new recruits under the command of Captain Susumu Kodai. When news of the catastrophe reaches them, Kodai defies orders, diverting the fleet towards Iscandar to offer assistance. The series explores themes of responsibility, the consequences of past choices, and the complex dynamics of interspecies relations as the Yamato crew navigates a desperate rescue mission amidst extraordinary circumstances.

Slight Spoilers I am loving this series and has quickly become one of my favorites since I picked up 2199 in 2017. Disclaimer, I have not watched the original Yamato seasons and have only seen the modern rendition of the series. After the events of 2202, Earth is recovering from its battle against Gatlantis and the planet Gamilas is dying. An unknown faction attacks Gamilas and the Cosmo Navy is hesitant to enter the conflict becuase its in a weakened state after 2202. This is where the story of 2205 begins. The events of 2199 and 2202 reverberate throughout the universe and plot threads from thoseseasons are further developed. nnThe first 4 episodes are a mixed bag for me. I found everything with Dessler and the story of Gamilas phenomenal. However, the Earth plot is much weaker as it's trying to introduce us to a handful of new characters. It's not bad, I just found the Gamilas story and politics amongst the different factions of the universe more interesting. Plus it was great to see Kodai continue to develop as a leader and captain of the Yamato.nnHowever, for me just like the first 2 seasons, Yamato has a slow start and snowballs into something amazing. I find that to be the same case for 2205. Because episodes 5,6,7, and 8 were phenomenal. The action was fun and the reveals were great and felt earned. Dessler steals the show for this season and I will always welcome further development of his character.nnThis was another great season for one of my new favorites and I am more than excited for Rebel 3199.

Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru TabidachiAnime (2021) Rather an odd set of extra episodes or 2 films as it seems to be broadcast in some formats. Here I saw it in 8 episodes, with the first 4 setting the scene and the second 4 is the climax to a very rushed ending. The story is set 3 years after the last season and ending of the time fault to a new fleet lead by this now very old but famous ship with some sister ships. The art is the same as before, it really hasn't changed at all unless you look really hard. Art isn't theissue. nnThe sound is the same as ever and again, not the issue. nnCharacter development is pretty odd here, some characters from the first season are completely forgiven for the mutiny even though they instigated it and yet others are still treated awfully, not the fairest thing going. You also have another let's take over someone's home through war again but make it look good because slavery is now bad even though they did it before. The general feel of the show is that they keep bringing god-like enemies that are defeated through the emotions of the desire to win as we are more human than they are. Also interesting to see how the people everyone so admired are basically the worst people going and forgiveness rains upon all. I think the character development at times was sort of unnecessary and should have been more of a continuation since it doesn't always make sense. I mean in 3199 do we get more new characters that suddenly develop through what can be seen as one-line backstories?nnOverall, whilst not the best in the series it is a good 7/10. The OVA/Movies from this can feel... odd.
