Nice! I really like 3199. It’s definitely WAY better than 2202. Space Battleship Yamato remake is one of my all time favorite shows. My favorite character in the entire series is Akira Yamamoto. I really hope they don’t kill off Akira. She has so much more to offer. I would love to see a spin off series with her as the main character and have Melda Dietz involved in it as well. It would be awesome. Let’s hope for the better future for Yamato.

You do know that the Character she's based on, Died in both the Movie version and Series 2 of the Original, which 2202 is based on, right?

Well of course I do. However she really outlive her original version. She survived 2202 and 2205. Not to mention, she has WAY more character development and screen time than the original character did. Call me crazy but i would argue that out of all the characters in the entire franchise Akira Yamamoto (2199 version) has the most character development. That’s one of the many reasons why she’s my favorite character in Space Battleship Yamato franchise and even one of my favorite female characters in anime in general. Even though she is based on the character in the 1974 series, she has a lot of differences from the original. Just like there is quite a bit of differences between 2199 and the original version overall. I’m sticking to my guns about Akira. You’re still cool nonetheless. Wink

It's all good Akira's one of my favorite characters in the remake too, just I didn't like how they did a literal spoiler[Ass pull] to explain her survival in 2202

Yeah I agree. Not to mention, spoiler[ they need to do more with her character. Like they need to have Akira move on from the love triangle between her, Yuki and Kodai. They also need to have her to better in hand to hand combat. She lost to Melda twice in hand to hand and almost got killed in the dogfight. She got beating up pretty badly by Touko Katsuragi and left unconscious in 2202 episode 12. I’m glad she survived. However, Akira is probably going to have less screen time than she even did in 2202 and 2205.] That’s why I think a spin off sequel with Akira as the main character with Melda in it as well would be great for her character and also emulate some of the elements in the 2199 scarlet eyed witch manga like the Akira’s backstories. I hope she survives in 3199.
