A while back it was announced that the plot of Peter Berg’s Battleship movie (based on the Battleship board game, natch) would involve battleships vs. alien battleships (“C4.” “You sunk my alien!”). Not to be outdone, the Japanese recently released this trailer for Space Battleship Yamato, which is exactly like it sounds. It’s only thirty seconds long and all in Japanese, but I think I can sum it up in this one shot:
Frankly, I’d be surprised if he didn’t turn to the camera and try to sell me fish sticks. Made from baby whales slaughtered in front of their families, of course.

Ya-may-to, Ya-mah-to, it’s all the same movie.
This is based off of an anime called Star Blazers. My husband saw this trailer and got a geek boner the size of well…a battleship. Star Blazers = one of the most depressing animes ever and was the predecssor of Robotech.
Admiral Akbar porn or GTFO.
It’s only thirty seconds long and all in Japanese
I know some businessmen who will pay top dollar for that.
oh shit this is one step closer to a Korean StarCraft movie
Paul Newman’s corpse will do anything for money ?
You know, I’d be a lot more inclined to trust the Gorton’s Fisherman if he weren’t dressed like The Ripper from ‘Last Action Hero’.
I watched this with the sound off, and for some reason the theme song from Family Ties ran through my head the whole time.
This is actually a trailer to Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor 2.
Whoa whoa, if the Japanese are the ones in the space battleship who flies that kamikaze fighter? The space Japanese?
Pictured: Captain Wang-guru.
Their shields can’t repel tentacle rape of that magnitude
Man, I hope the Japanese version ends with the good guys dropping some sort of gigantic super-bomb on the bad guys and then the bad guys spending the next sixty-plus years creating deviant fetish porn.
You vajazzeled His battleship! Get the jizz mop out, Ker’Splatt!
I not only understood everthing icaD said, but can confirm it as accurate.
I’ve been waiting for a Macross movie for 25 years.
**sigh**

Are we sure this is isn’t the trailer for What’s Japening Now?…
Bored?
There’s a Jap for that.
This looks to be an interesting slant on the origional material.
You shank my brattrship!
*gets in the back of the head by giant nerd boner*
we’re off to outer space
we’re leaving Mother Earth
to save the human race
our Star Blazers
searching for a distant star
heading off to Iscandar
leaving all we love behind
who knows what dangers we’ll find
we must be strong and brave
our home we have to save
if we don’t in just one year
Mother Earth will disappear
fighting with the Gamalons
we won’t stop until we’ve won
then we’ll return and when we arrive
the Earth will survive
with our Star Blazers
What the fuck was that?
