Space Battleship YAMATO
This animation was telecasted for the first time on the television of Japan
in 1974, and is one in the popularity most. Probably, all Japanese know
this animation, because YAMATO was the strongest battleship of the World
War 2 in Japan. And Japanese is called Yamato race. So the theme of this
animation is too big.
Moreover, music besides the technology of animation is big topic in Japan. I introduce a part of space battleship Yamato here.
*Space Battleship Yamato is called Star Blazers in USA
This battleship was the biggest and strongest in Japan. However, this ship
sank easily at April 7 1945. Also now, this ship is a symbol of Japan.
Therefore, the animation of space battleship Yamato is unpopular in Asia.
However, this animation was telecasted in South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Yamato of this animation fights with the enemy of the earth. The Japanese
has the big pride of Yamato (Japanese) race, and the Japanese likes mechanism,
technology, and mission (duty). So this animation is popular in Japan.
Modern Japanese hates fighting. Please don't get Space Battleship Yamato
wrong.
