Very best movie i ever watch

Best movie of this year hands down!

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I loved this show as a child, coming home from school and diving in front of the boob tube (when it still had a tube) and enjoying the adventures of the big eyed characters (speed racerlike) trying to save the world in the largest ship ever built... turned space ship.In every single episode they battle and battle, and just before the ship is about to be destroyed somebody decides it's time to fire the ultimate weapon, the WAVE MOTION GUN (do listen to the Marcy Playground song sometime) and they win the day.As an adult I just can't help but ask, why not fire the wave motion gun first, but I guess it would have made the show pretty short.I just noticed there seems to be an actual live action version of this, which led me to this review. Fun for kids of all ages, albeit a little silly.

I remember watching this show and I couldn't wait until the next episode. It totally rocked ,had the coolest music and of course the Argo(AKA the old Japanese battleship Yamato). My favorite character was Captain Avatar, those eyes and that white beard and ragged voice always got me pumped up. I started finding episodes on youtube and I got to see the original uncut Japanese version of some episodes which were more violent and actually showed some horrific scenes of death. It was interesting to see the original Japanese intro's too and how the dialog was watered down for American audiences. I think today kids could handle it in its uncut form.I wonder what this live action version is going to be like. The special effects would have to be top notch and hopefully get good actors. Casting Capt Avatar would be interesting too??? Hmm ..Go StarBlazers

I, too, watched this show when I was 10 or 12 or so. I never missed an episode. I agree that some of the ideas were taken and used in other sci-fi endeavors, such as Star Trek. For example, in the first scene in Star Trek, The Motion Picture, notice how, when the Klingon Battlecruiser gets ready to shoot its torpedoes at the intruder, the area where it fires from starts to glow, and small, lit particles tend to drift towards the same area. This is the same as when the Wave Motion gun first starts to fire. Same thing with Star Trek III, and the chasing of the Enterprise by the Excelsior. Same as the Andromeda and the Argo. But all that aside, this was the best anime ever sent to us. I, too, spent many a day drawing my versions of battleships like the Argo and Andromeda, even, at one time, making my own personal comic books about adventures with the Star Force. (yes, my original ideas, not copying the show) :-) I have seen the full three seasons online for over $100., and if indeed I had the extra money, I would buy them in a heartbeat. his was running around the same time as another great one called Force Five. Those of you who know about Star Blazers, I am sure you know about Force Five. Two of the best to come out of Japan before the Accord!

I've got to say that this is a spectacular show. The animation may seem trite now, but 20 years ago, it was incredible. I do have to say that it absolutely kills today's Dragonball Z... (what a waste). What really sets this show apart is the realism. During the first movie/series, the original Captain dies, but the series goes on AND references their dead leader throughout the show. Well done. This happens throughout the series, causing the viewers to feel the remorse of what is happening on screen.Being young and impressionable, I suppose I was sucked in by the glamour of being in outer space, fighting aliens and saving the day. But, as I look back, the drama was good enough that I would want to see it all again, nearly 20 years later. And, in the spirit of that, I've found that you can currently watch the 2nd season of Star Blazers on Cartoon Network under the Toonami/Reactor section.It's just as good as I remembered...
