Bandai Channel had begun streaming a 9-minute promotional video for the upcoming second Space Battleship YAMATO film remake, Space Battleship YAMATO 2199. The film features its third to sixth episodes to premiere this June 30th.
The third to sixth episodes feature the first warp test from Mars to Jupiter, the floating island in Jupiter, and the battle on Pluto.
Space Battleship YAMATO took place on the year 2199, when the Earth has been under radioactive siege from the Gamilas Empire for five years.
Earth's population has moved underground to escape the bombardment, but the contamination is slowly penetrating to reach them. The crew sets out on a journey to the planet Iscandar to acquire a device that can heal the ravaged Earth before it is too late.
After the theater premier, Space Battleship YAMATO 2199 will be available in both DVD and Blu-Ray versions. The first volume (Episodes 1 and 2) will be released on May 25th while the second (Episodes 3 to 6) will be on July 27th. Pre-order now at CDJapan and get exciting bonuses!
