Funimation won't probably release the old movies that Voyager released, a proper, remastered release that was newly dubbed of those including Final Yamato would be great, but probably won't happen.

I honestly don't know why people are speculating whether it will have the Japanese or old US nomenclature. It's pretty clear that they're sticking with the Japanese names. The official title on Funimation's website (and the title of the ANN article) is Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199, so going by that, and by this summary on Funimation's website:
then it's clear it will be the Japanese nomenclature. Add to this the fact that the artwork used clearly shows detail of Kodai's and Mori's name patches on their uniforms (both their own names and Yamato's). Now does that sound like they're going anywhere near the names Argo, Gamilon, Wildstar, or Nova? And one last reason they won't revert to the English names? spoiler[The name Argo has been repurposed in Yamato 2202.] Last edited by ValkyrieZeroZeroOne on Sat Nov 04, 2017 9:01 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Great news. It would be cool if we get a English dub on Toonami soon. I remember when the original show was on Cartoon Network before Toonami in the mid 90's.

Oh, great! After years of waiting on Voyager to hopefully finish releasing the last two discs of Yamato 2199 I recently bit the bullet and bought the Japan boxset release for approx. $350.00. So rest easy friends since I bought the Japan version we are sure to now get a cheaper USA release.
EDIT: On further thought, I would think if Funi is spending the money on a dub they are sure to be releasing it on BRD. They can't possibly recoup that kind of money from streaming. |

I feel your pain Basroil. I just got the Japanese Version for just under 300. And in the middle of watching it I just saw this announcement. Voyager just killed me with the lack of finishing the release after getting the 4 Blurays.
Downside is I saw something awhile back with Voyager and 2202 and I swear I hope it isn't true or if true falls through. |

What specifically? I haven't seen anything (aside from the lack of a licence announcement) that would be detrimental to 2202 (and while that hasn't been announced, Voyager said in the past that they would market 2199 and 2202 as a joint package).

Star Wars is actually a space opera too, but most people don't think of it that way. |

HOLY SHIT! YES!
This is the best news. Hopefully this is a good sign for 2202 as well, since that didn't even get subs.
Yeah I definitely think so. And this is a particularly awesome remake. |

Since the TV show is now 5 years, I think Funi would have it all dubbed by now. Sure, a lot of time/money is spent on simuldubs, but they also spend a lot of time on "DVD dubs". Then again, it took over 6 years for all of "Gosick" to have a boxset release with an Eng. dub.

Very good starter. This arguably best craft one you can find in recent times. |

Some additional info. Funi have updated their website with a SB:SBY2199 homepage.
https://www.funimation.com/shows/star-blazers/ Some things to note: 1) It will be sub and dub. Found this piece of information when posting it to a couple of Facebook groups. 2) The series page lists 3 episodes, suggesting that they're going to post enough of the series at launch to whet the appetite of new viewers. 3) While there's a cast and crew list space, so far nothing has been added at the time of writing this. Edit: Site now lists four episodes and has announced the voice cast for Episode 1: spoiler[ CHARACTER CAST Susumu Kodai: Chris Wehkamp Daisuke Shima: Ricco Fajardo Okita: Brian Mathis Mori: Mallorie Rodak Episode 1 Jiro: Apphia Yu Dr. Sado: Kenny Green Harada: Felecia Angelle Hijikata: Bill Jenkins Hirata: Jeremy Inman Kato: Mike McFarland Mamoru Kodai : Z. Charles Bolton Nanbu Stephen Fu Sanada Phil Parsons Serizawa Doug Jackson Todo Bradley Campbell Tokugawa R Bruce Elliott Yabu Ben Phillips Yamanami Kent Williams ] |
