Yeah the fun part is that this movie completely glosses over the fact that the wave motion gun works is by creating a cavitation in space time and how the first time the warp drive is used they are legitimately afraid it would collapse the universe

TWO HOURS OF SACRED COW !!!!! HAIL THE GREAT MAKER !!!!! BLESSED BE THE DOCK MASTER !!!!

It's a battleship! In space! What's not to love! Oh... Oh dear

He's officially the drachinifel of spaceships with this monster of a video

Fun fact: as an infant, I was exposed to radiation courtesy of Chernobyl. Years later, I develop thyroid cancer. During my radiation treatment, I learned that patients undergoing some types of radiation treatment are supposed to limit their exposure to others to prevent risk of exposing others to potentially harmful radiation. Though, the coolest thing was setting off metal detectors and radiation detectors at transit centers and dumps.

With the WaveMotion Gun and Engine being linked... Probably skipped in the movie, but I know in the more recent series, it's mentioned that the tech from the aliens was just the Engines. Humey Engineers designed the Weapon after studying the tech and thought "That's a shit ton of energy! More Dakka!"

Dockmaster you have NO idea how many of your questions are answered in the anime and how much i'm restraining myself from making 20 paragraphs to explain it all

Fun fact the main gun turrets on the Yamato were the same weight as a Fletch class DESTROYER...... yeah let that sink in. It had three destroyers to house the primary artillery.

The Iskander probe only gave the Terrans the Wave Motion Engine, _Yamato's_ FTL drive. The humans figured out a way to use the thing as a weapon, too, and the Wave Motion Gun is kind of a bolt-on expansion of the drive system. Essentially, using either the FTL or big gun both puts them both on cooldown. Since there was a time and resource crunch, and they didn't even know if their experimental weapon based on a never-tested xenotechnology would work, they didn't build a second Wave Motion Engine for just the gun. Prototypes, amiright?

Admiral Okita's cruiser in the opening battle looks very similar to the TCS Concordia in the live action Wing Commander movie. The alien tech recovered by Kodai, in the original series was expected. The entire battle was a decoy to allow an Iscandarian ship, the Amaterasu, to make it through to a rendezvous on Mars... Again, so many changes made and none for the better.

Fun fact the sets in this movie are from Battlestar Galactica Reimagined. If you want to attempt the animated series Dockmaster just do the reboot of 2199 Yamato. It's pretty much a refined version of the original story.

I believe in the original anime, The Space Ship Yamato wasn't the WWII Battleship Yamato, but instead was a new built in the profile of the WWII Battleship Yamato and in the spot of its wreckage to hide the fact that Humans were building a new ship. So I am not sure but in the image of the Space Ship Yamato rising of the ground, there looks to a bunch of metal tubes in the dirt facing off to the side, which to me reminds me of the triple barrels of the turrets. Might be a call back to that.

"WTF is that?" I love it when you come across something so bazar that you can't think or swear at it's obsurdity. The engineers and design team must have thought that "more crap = intimidation" No clue HOW they got it all up there... the gap between 78 and 2010 may have given them time, but not enough to change anything from the original blueprints. Your universe is fun. Breath my friend... or meditate or whatever you do to calm your mind.

the large hatches on the lateral sides are meant to be recovery bays for the "Cosmo Zero" which had it's own separate launch system using the Yamato's original fighter catapults you touched on earlier. Small Recovery-craft and/or science craft could also be launched from there. And in regards to the fighter compliment of the ship. It was SO MUCH WORSE than what this movie portrays. The yamato carried some thirty, yes, 30 Combat Fighters (Cosmo Falcons I believe they were called.) and were stored via rotating platforms on a drum setup that somehow worked around the ship's main reactor and drive engine. Later renditions of the Yamato featured the Cosmo Marines using Powered Armor deploying out of a ventral hatch somewhere between the #1 and #2 turret wells.

Finally he did it, SBY does take the rule of cool to an awesome height. This is a video I would definitely waste my time watching. I suggest digging into the 2199 and 2202 which has more information than the live action could provide. In that series the Yamato uses it's shock pulse cannons on that IPBM. You'll love the look of the space ships featured in the anime shows.

It is easy to explain why "Bad Boy" got assigned to the crew. The Earth had gotten pounded, which means the HR had a relatively small personnel pool the draw from. Why the "Battleship" movie makes a little bit more sense than "The Battleship Yamato," is because Battleship's production crew actually sought advice from navel personnel, and then ignored most of it.

I know they had to make loads of changed to make this movie length but really, it was too many. The big opening battle should have been out by Pluto, not Mars. Kodai was in the military and stationed on Mars, not a civilian scavenger on Earth. The Yamato's MD was male but was recast as female. Yuki Mori was blonde and was never a fighter pilot, she was in charge of bridge ops, mainly the sensors. Iscandar and Gamilas were separate planets in the same system not two sides of the same world. Many many more changes made, none for the better. The Yamato in the 2199 series did have shields. They were so powerful that an enemy ship clamped onto the Yamato and detonated, it did no harm to the Yamato. Granted the fleet in this initial battle did not have the technology for generating the shields.

The flank doors are broadside missile/torpedo launchers. The "funnel" is a VLS for missiles. There were also supposed to be ventral VLS doors as well. And of course they had forward and aft torpedo launchers

Yeah, if you dig deep the original is a space fantasy dressed around webo "japan could have won WW2" wish fulfilment. As it went on, it was more and more space fantasy. Moving in line towards the enemy to use the lead ship as a metal/meat shield for the rest of the formation, as Spock said, thinking tacitly in 2 dimensions. All the weapons on one side of a ship, well in space you could flip.

Yamato is the first ship to get shields. Correction: in the anime this statement is true.

Only seen 2199, now I know what I wasn't missing in the live-action movie. Really disappointed they didn't appear to include my favorite part about the Space Battleship Yamato: it's 18" guns were hybrids with ye 'olde kinetic chemical solution still available in the breach. In 2199, I think they only used them twice: the first time to provide indirect fire around Pluto to get at a laser using mirror satellites to ground her, and the second near the finale. The anime used more of a hyperspace than a wormhole, so there were several instances of hostile action while in hyperspace, but the gaseous high-energy state of hyperspace meant nobody could use their energy cannons for ship-to-ship unless they wanted to blow themselves up. So naturally when the BBEG with his flagship follows Yamato into hyperspace after they start their journey back home, he calls the hummies barbarians when he realizes they're lobbing metal rocks at him with explosive timers inside instead of letting him ram them.

A suggestion: "Great shipyard in the sky" should become the standard exclamation phrase for this channel.

I love the original Yamato and all the upgrades Sanada pulled out of his ass, as a kid i experienced that moment from the simpsons when professor Frink ask the cast if anyone watched Tron but when asking my school friends if they watched Yamato, funnily enough the same happened in later in 87 when i asked if they watched Tron...

To be fair the tentacles thing was happening long before the extinction balls were dropped.

SCS... You should have watched Yamato 2199 instead of this. There most of the things that you pointed out are addressed, for example: The smokestack on Yamato is a VLS silo. Those hatches on the side? Side torpedo launchers. The underside isn't defenseless because it is covered in VLS silos so anyone who tries to approach from below will get a Macross missile massacre to the face. The plane catapults are actually for a pair of experimental fighters and thus do something and the ship has a CIC (Granted it was only used once). Not to mention all the story changes they did for this movie because they had to cram 5-6 hours of content into a 2-hour movie. You could say that other than having a ship named Yamato with a crew bearing familiar names, this thing and every other thing barring the Yamato brand have about as much in common with each other as classic Star Wars and TOS/TNG Star Trek had in common.

Fun fact: the Yamato really did have AA shells for it's main guns. Called "San Shiki", these were basically fragmentation/incendiary shells, which made those guns the mother of all shotguns... these shells existed on multiple calibers from 5" and above. Their efectiveness could only be described, from a US' pilot's point of view, as "meh... pretty shots..."

One point on raising the _Yamato_ : at the time this entire franchise started, 1974, no one even knew exactly even where the ship was, let alone it's condition. It was only in the 1980s that it was found, and only then it was realised it was in two pieces. But by then the franchise and it's basic storyline had been established, so I guess the producers stuck with that.

I had a feeling you were going to do the live action one. But a part of me was actually morbidly curious what you would say on the animated one. Maybe one day we can see the anime cube version?

I reeeally wanna see this guys opinion of macross, especially the variable fighters

Oh hell yes! Please do an episode on Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars.

The TV series was made before they located the wreck so they didn't know she broke in two. They kind of just ignored that for the more recent remakes. In the 2199 show it was confirmed the wreck was on the old sea floor in the region of Cape Bonomisaki, where the IJN Yamato went down. The facility for construction of the SB Yamato was part of the underground "cities" that had been built to survive the planet bombs sent by the Gamilas.

I've always found the mythology surrounding one of the most... overstated... battleships in history to be the most interesting thing about Yammie.

The way the wave cannon works, they should have recommissioned the Yamato as the Gustav.

THIS IS THE GREATEST EPISODE OF ALL TIME

16:47 It would probably help watching 2199 to explain the director/producer's mind set when the movie was made: (don't quote me but...) In both versions of the TV show (1974/2012) Earth's war with the Galamas Empire began after the completion of the Earth/Mars Civil War. The primitive ships weapons were designed to fight their own, not aliens (not right away) so the lack of AA fire against the Gamalas Plasma rounds is probably more of 'No point, since the AA can't stop the shots anyway' than directors OPPs (they could?). The designs were also a means to draw in larger numbers of people because those movie ships looked more like WWII dreadnoughts than other, more traditional space-based designs like in Star Trek, Mobile Suit Gundam or NuBSG I wont compare Star Wars because many of the SW designs look more compared to SBYLAM than anything else, either)... same deal with the torps. They were used against Martian ships but useless against the bioships....

Wing Commander-y starfighters in the Yamato movie were more Wing Commander-y than the ones in the actual Wing Commander movie.

The Wave Motion Gun. A weapon so cool, sunglasses are required to operate it.

Both battleship movies are metastatic mind viruses: the more you think about them, the more damage they do. And, yes, Space Battleship Yamato (and a number of other Japanese cultural tropes (I am looking at you kaiju)) are a direct result of being the only country to have been unceremoniously nuked in anger (as opposed to those nuked out of love or curiosity.)

That moment I realized this was 2 hours was the moment I realized I needed to get some popcorn.

"Like a Centauri going through a bottle of Brivari" THIS is why I love watching these videos! LMAO

Use of English signage is not unusual. The military is a combined Earth Defence Force under UN auspices. It's just that most of the characters are Japanese because that is where the Yamato was being built and the crew recruited. Oh and the cat? Original character. The ships doctor did have a ginger cat in the original and remake anime.

I have Disgust the Movie Battleship, Dockmaster may have Discussed it too , but All I heard was the disgust-tion We’re heading off to Iscandar You can’t get there in a rental car We’re heading off to Iscandar, we don’t know where we are. Ps an action movie based off the two player game battleship When do we get the 4 player hungry hungry hippos action movie.

Small correction: Yamato was steaming to Okinawa, not Iwo Jima. Small quip: Most of the torpedo hits were largely overkill - at which point Yamato would have taken a few more hours to sink at best, or would have been scuttled by her crew at worst. After The first torpedo salvos (which defeated Yamato's flawed torpedo protection - the other Yamato-class hulls Musashi and Shinano similarly failed), Yamato's crew never got the flooding under control - Japanese counter-flooded the other side of the ship to prevent capsizing, precisely because the torpedo flooding could NOT be controlled. It only delayed the inevitable, and every subsequent torpedo and bomb hit after the first Salvo of torpedoes simply made Yamato sink faster. And that doesn't mention the fires progressing to detonate Yamato's magazine.

More two hours of snark. Hail the Dockmaster! One thing that irks me about shows set on a ship like this is that the main characters are the "jack of all trades but master of everything" types. Bridge officer + ace pilot/wing commander + grunt general. Most of them shows don't even have marines on board. Borrowing from that mutated humie called Deadpool: "All I ever see is you guys. It's as if the studio couldn't afford another cast member."

"Hysterically bad escape pod systems" you say? Awesome. And I'm not worried, I'm told resistance will be random and light.

Smoke stacks on the Yamato contain VLS missile launch tubes, referred to as stack missiles. There are also VLS cells in the underside of the hull. So although no gun turrets down there there are weapon systems. Launch catapults were used to deploy the two embarked Cosmo Zero fighters. The remaining fighters, the Black Tigers, we launched from a bay below and between the two auxillary engines.

Yes Sacred Cow, there are that many spin-offs... and they are awesome!

Talking about penetration of rounds, I am reminded of the Battle off Samar where some Japanese ships mistakenly identified US ships as being of larger classes than they really were (so what they thought were cruisers were really destroyer escorts, and what they identified as fleet carriers were escort carriers), causing them to use AP rounds which completely penetrated clean through the US ships, in one side and out the other, causing minimal damage. LOL! They did eventually realize their mistake and switched to HE rounds and then the US ships had a bad time of it, but what an embarrassing mistake to have made in the first place!

I absolutely love this channel

Wow, what an amazing coincidence! (And it _IS_ an extra-long video!) I'm looking forward to this...

>2 hours!!!!! I’m very happy

Lol thank you, i really needed a laugh.... Decent story line for sure, techs a lil janky... Im a dog person myself... ya know....cause raisens... Oh damn ya went there... That warp scene in Guardians had me pissing myself the first time i saw it lol. Funniest scene in the MCU imho. Lol

This movie was a big departure from the original anime series. It already started with the initial battle being fought around Jupiter and not Mars, although Mars does play a role. The Gamilas and Iscandarans are human looking races (though with blue skin in the case of the Gamilas) and they are using Pluto as a base to collect and propel the radioactive meteorites towards Earth. Which makes a bit of sense, as there are a lot of floating rocks in that area. In the original series the Gamilas wanted to subjugate Earth, but Earth said no and was soundly beaten by better technology. The Iscandarans, which are opposed to the plans of the Gamilas, then send one of theirs, a woman called Yurisha to Earth with one wave motion core. Her ship is intercepted and crashes on Mars. However, the Earthlings can recover the wave motion core and the buliding plans for the wave motion engine. They didn't get any plans for the wave motion gun, but the scientists and engineers looking at the power output of the wave motion core quickly deduced that you can use that much power as a weapon, when focused through an emitter. The original series also goes with the the Yamato wreck being rebuilt as a spaceship and then has to fight her way to Iscandar. The 2199 series is a modernized remake of the original series and it addresses some of the points in the original series and in this movie. For one, the wreck of Yamato is used as a decoy for the Gamilas to attck. They purpose built a new ship with the name Yamato. However, it still is, in essence, a WW2 battleship that has been spacified. It is also a bit larger than the original Yamato, with a lower crew complement due to automation. In the 2199 remake they were also able to use the wave motion core in a third mode. The first being the jump engine, the second the wave motion gun and the third using it to project energy shields. It also has armor that is worthy of the name now and at least some VLS cells on the underside as weapons. The former smokestack is still there, but also serves as a VLS cell. Also, if they don't have enough energy to use the shock energy mode on the main batteries, they have good old powder propelled shells, that they can also fire from them. Still doesn't take away from the ridiculousness of converting (or rebuilding) a former WW2 battleship as a spaceship. You also have a lot of the silliness of anime in the series, still.

YAMATO! Man this is the series that got me into sci-fi and the first anime I ever watched. My grandma got the DVD box set for the first season of Star Blazers for my dad because he watched it when he was a kid. Currently I'm hunting down the show's OST Vinyl albums because it's probably one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.

Organic ships, the Dockmaster hates them, I mean have you tried to clean the organic gunk out of a crusher after cubifying one? That is why ;)

TBF: when the original was made in the late 70s, we didn't know the Yamato snapped in two. See also: Raise the Titanic.

Holy. Rusted. Remains. Of. The. Titanic. A 2 hours episode!

At least in the 2199 animated reboot, the Yamato was never reconstructed. Instead, the humans hollowed out the space underneath the wreck, and built the Space Battlesuit Yamato under the rusted shell of the original Yamato to avoid satellite detection. This caused the upper level of the SB Yamato to inherit the superficial structure of the original. Most UN Spacy ships in the 2199 anime do have turrets on the top and bottom of the hull, with the SB Yamato being the main exception. The belly of the ship was taken up by the Wave Motion Gun, Wave Motion Engine, missile systems, and the hanger bay. While you will absolutely have qualms about the SB Yamato, I think you'll like the designs overall from 2199 better than the live action remake which are just weird. Rule of thumb for Japanese media, if there is an anime and live action movie adaptation, the anime will usually be better and more complete.

WHYYYYYYY!!!!! \o/ The Remake is Beautifully done!!!! :D (Seriously you really should make an exception for 2199 and 2202). Btw what is the range of a torpedo / missle in space? Also the original used its main guns to shootdown planes (beehive rounds) so why not missiles. As a story of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. I see no difference in the crew of the then Yamato facing the American fleet in a bid to delay the inevitable at Okinawa to that of the fantasy Yamato's journey to Iskandar. Except one failed and the other through writer's magic succeeded. As for the ship in the live action does not do it justice, to see what I mean you would have to watch the re-make (2199 and 2202) which addresses majority of the pointed deficiencies in this video. If you find it hard to fathom why one would willingly give up their lives in a clearly suicide mission, let me point out that these are the same people who despite of having their property taken from them and their families imprisoned - still fought for said country that did those to them and acquitted themselves admirably. Hence the 2 nukes to make them give up. Also unfair comparison Battleship is about "Battleship" - Live action Space Battleship Yamato is about the anime that came before it. And before I forget MORE PLEASE!!!!!

The Movie doesn't make much sense, because it is a much longer series, shortened into film length. In the Original series you see what the third bridge is for, as well as many other things that don't make sense in this fleshsuit adaptation.

While I generally love Leiji Matsumoto's depictions of space battleships as slightly space-ified seafaring vessels, I must admit that the lack of any ventral weapons on the Yamato always bugged me. Even his other notable creation, the Arcadia, has always been depicted with at least one ventral turret. (One of my favourite depictions, BTW, is the one from the more recent 3d animated movie that came of it. That one has a very interesting mechanism for bringing her armaments to bear on the enemy - I'd almost say the movie is worth watching for the brief experience of that system alone.) All and all, it's still important to note that for Leiji, the ships were always more of a storytelling vehicle than an actual combat one. So he was more than willing to go wild and send a zeppelin and a (I shit you not) steam locomotive, complete with passenger cars, into space. Great artist, regardless.

51:00 I think it's more a case of "well, our armor apparently does fuck all, so let's put the bridge as far away from the ship's center of mass as possible, and pray to god it doesn't get hit."

The whole efforts they put into repair and upgrade this ship can beuse to build a completely new better ship from scratch.

Oh, so I got to the landing craft part now. You know what, I know what I'm reminded of when looking at that... Medieval wagon forts!

I always wondered how the the ships I was assigned to would look Yamatoized!

"Nobody Cares if the AI Dies" That.. was almost a hint of emotion. Huh.

Masts and spars in space are cool. Even cooler are masts, spars, AND signal flags in space!

Short version: the show feels more grounded than the film. I love it anyway. I love that the wave motion gun is, basically, an absurdly powerful laser that uses micro black holes as a capacitor. I'm a hard core fan of the series, realism be damned. That said, the TV show is better in designs for the Human equipment. Stuff that makes sense...well, more sense. Also, of note, any time you're taking a 25 hour TV show and trying to fit it into a feature film, there's a lot that will be stripped. That's actually what causes most of the issues. Unfortunately, the movie makes the UN incredibly stupid because they condense so many events and cut out characters. They did a good job spiritually keeping it right, but there's a lot of fascinating details that just get lost. Character moments, tech, world building...I'm gonna nerd our a bit here, and spoilers do follow. Originally Iskandar and Gamilas are a pair of twin worlds on the same orbit. Not unlike Earth and Luna, but even closer in size, the Gamilas Empire is, essentially, Nazis in space, and their ships and tech, while more advanced, isn't organic. The main weapon used by the Earth Fleet prior to gaining vacuum energy taps (wave motion core) is a particle beam. However, this is insufficient against Gamilas armor. Without a more potent reactor, there's a limit to how powerful the ships of humanity can get. The Yamato, on the other hand, has her primary and secondary turrets fitted with positron guns. These are entirely able to punch through Gamilas armor. Of note: the wave motion core is a gift from the Iskandarian civilization. They are more advanced than Gamilas, but they're also near extinct. The Gamilas tech is based on that of Iskandar, albeit inferior copies. This is why Earth tech has that huge jump in power when comparing Yamato to older Cosmo Navy ships. There were more powerful weapon designs, but without a good enough reactor, they weren't able to be built and used. When considering that the Yamato core is a genuine Iskandarian one instead of a copy, it explaines why Yamato is able to outperform Gamilas vessels with less powerful reactors. The Yamato was designed around a very well built quantum power tap and can simply draw and channel more energy for weapons, shields, and engines. TV show uses a lot of missiles too. If you're not gonna watch the show, at least check out some of the battle sequences from the remake.

Thank you for another enlightening video .

I'm starting to wonder if that green blinking thingy incorporated the radiation cleaning tech and cleaned that guy of radiation exposure.

Good gods man, I can feel the irritation from here!

Didnt know i needed to hear about a ship having a huge schnoz. :D

58:22 I had a serious laugh!!! Those levers on the interface panel below the screen are a Throttle Quadrant from an AIRLINER. Yes, You read that right. An AIRLINER. The 2 tall levers right next to each other slap-bang in the middle of the Quadrant with a hand rested on them are the throttle for the Engines, here they're on full throttle. On the left side of those is the Speed Brake Lever, it deploys the spoilers, those upward-deploying panes on top of the Wings You see when a plane lands, when it touches the ground, those come up. Here the lever is in the Fully Deployed position. All the brakes deployed! To the right side of the 2 black center levers is the Flap Lever. Flaps are aerodynamic panels that can extend out the back end of the wing. For takeoff, they're extended a little, for cruise, they're retracted back into the wing, and for landing, they're extended out all the way. They deflect themselves downwards as they extend. For takeoff extension, they mostly extend back with minimal downward deflection, for landing they deflect downwards as far as they can go. Here it's shown all the way deployed, all the flap deployment, all the deflection, EVERYTHING! At the bottom of the Flap Lever is an aluminum-grey rail with notches in it. The flaps are deployed in steps, or notches. This is why You hear pilots say things like " give me another notch of flaps".

Going to watch this tonight I love the long form

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes, and other science facts. Repeat to yourself, "It's just a show, I should really just relax." ;) In all seriousness. Dude, 2 hours of episode? You are spoiling us. :)

The torpedoes get installed next Tuesday.

2:21:13 ... I had to go back, look at that, laugh my ass off so hard I am now in pain seeing as that is a chart of my country... Expected Japan given the topic of the time, did NOT expect my home... I love this channel.

Absolute brilliance! Thank you Dockmaster! This only increases my curiosity for your take on the live action Wing Commander movie. Expect there may be a few similarities.

Wait, there's a live action/cg space battleship Yamato, since when?

Those hatches on the side of the ship reveal torpedo tubes

Ok. Some more context on the Magellanic Clouds (yes, there are two of them; named large and small). Our best estimate for now puts the closer of the two (the Large Magellanic Cloud) at about 163 kly from us while the further is about 206 kly away. What is kly? That's shorthand for "thousands of light-years". As in "the light we're seeing from them took 163,000 years and 206,000 years to reach us here on Earth". To put that in Star Trek terms, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D at her cruise velocity of Warp 6 on the TNG-era warp scale would need almost 525 years to make that trip (USS Defiant could do it in 81 years at her maximum warp factor of 9.5 and USS Voyager could do in just over 15 years at her maximum warp of 9.975). Unless we're talking some Einstein-Rosen bridges with Egyptian themes, I don't think that tech would have made it in time...

The Gamalus/Iscandar thing being one planet, in another freaking galaxy, is a weird idea. They could have easily been two different planets, in one system, only a year from Earth at hyper speed, but no, it had to be a galaxy away. Also it's before StarGate. The movie follows the animated movie version from the 80s. StarGate did not come out till later.

I can't wait for the day Macross/Robotech gets a live-action show.... The mother of all bolt-on fuckery, when the SDF1 (Super Dimemsional Fortress-1) not only straps on a surface warfare aircraft carrier as an arm, but a Sumbersible Amphibious Assault Craft (The Daedelus) as the other.

7:59 you could alternate having ships in the line turn right and left, every other one. Or even do it every three. In a 3D environment, basically a dogfight, this alternation (not sure if that's a word) could have multiple directional orders. Not only up, down, right, left, but all the diagonals

They designed it around the cup holder

49:50 i haven't finished the video but in the anime they do have a cic that they use when they are planning to engage in combat

I knew this was going to be a doozy as soon as I saw the length of it. Yikes, was I ever right! Time well spent IMO. I will beg to differ with the Dockmaster on one point though - many humans find the introduction of heavy metal via the ear canal to be immensely satisfying. The auditory form that is :)

The irony that the analyser robot was originally a ‘danger will Robinson’ style machine with trundle tracks before they turned it into a combat robot for the full. 😂 Sometimes squishies have strange ideas right?!

The thing on the ventral side is actually the *tertiary* bridge.

Any time Wing Commander comes up, you have my attention

3:30 I was looking at my phone, looking at that poster, and I was thinking, "Man, that poster looks almost Chinese today somehow, there's unusual amount of kanji in it. I guess this is how Japanese (or other similar languages) writing looks like to a non-speaker..." I took another look at it, and it was in fact written in Chinese. Lol

HEY!!! I resent that!!... it's not a claptrap! it's a jellopy :T jokes aside, salute to hisashi, that person managed to go trough hell and back several times over to survive that long...

In fairness to the discussion at around 37:00, the Yamato wreck was only recently found, and at the time the show/movie etc. was made, it was not known that it broke into two pieces.

Note: ISS operates on 1 atmosphere. So did the shuttle, and pretty much everything after Apollo which operated at 0.3 atmosphere, almost pure oxygen, creating horrible fire hazard, as human lungs depend on partial pressure of oxygen, so getting rid of all the nitrogen lets us breathe in much lower pressure and let us fly in a can with walls so thin a careless kick would punch a hole in them, but fire doesn't care about partial pressure, just oxygen percentage, making the can a deathtrap where even a couple sparks will cause a massive fire. Still, the 1atm of ISS is such that the hole in the side of soyuz could be plugged with an astronaut's finger with no harm to the astronaut.

I-131 the main reason to take iodine tablets. Because iodine, like Pb, looks a lot like calcium.

I am so sad he put himself through the pain of the live action SBY movie

Al hail the Cow! All hail the Cow!

Two hours of scared cow! ^^ Thanks ^^ I will refrain from commenting on this plot hole of a movie simply because i dont want to spend the next two hours of writing. ^^ Anyway still thanks for these amazing two hours xD And yeah they definitely did film parts of it inside of a ferry ... i bet they were not allowed to change anything on it since any prop in there is just well placed and or glued to the wall ... the deck markings look like for cars too ^^

On the hole crew thing its stupid to have so little crew in the anime 2199 1 the crew was 999 2 the yamato had missiles/torpedoes 3 they had iscandar designed wave motion shields 4 the hangar was alot more complicated 5 the windows had blast doors 6 side note pour kitty 7 I forgot got to mention that in the anime when the yamato tested the wave motion gun it fired it at a floating continent the size of Australia on Jupiter it drained the yamato but the results were far above what they originally expected it to do

One of the things I appreciated about Battlestar Galactica was the damage control. To put out a fire, they vented the air into space.
