Yamato 2520

The mighty battleship Yamato, is a symbol of Japanese ingenuity going back to WWII. It was the largest battleship ever made and had more firepower than any other warship afloat during its time in service which sadly was not very long because it was nearly completed when it first set sail at the end of the war. IT was sent basically on a suicide mission to the battle of Okinawa (?). The ship is a cultural symbol that still lies deeply in the hearts of the Japanese people because it was like the people themselves, so very unique as a society and a world culture. The innovative mindset that has brought the Japanese culture out of World War II and into the 21st century as one of the leading nations on this earth, and as one that has set itself as a symbol of morality and ethics, makes it no wonder that the people themselves are a contradiction tot the NEW WORLD ORDER.

I have seen many Manga and there are many varieties of course, however Yamatoo 2520 is very artistic. Its awesome music, composed by a special orchestra and the originality of perspective drawings made it a treasure in the Manga Olympus. This movie is a kind of loser in the Maiga cinematography as it failed financially to go up to the seven OVA scheduled and realized only three. However, the Science Fiction images in this Manga are stand-alone pictures. By one shot, a complete and dark experience of one travel or one vessel to the deep space is easy to have. Thos are often strange and well worked images. This kind of artistic research is rare in the Manga universe and the atmosphere is better to enjoy than the real story, still interesting as a Bolero increasing its rhythm until giant space battles.
