English Dub Review: Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 “The Faraway Promised Land”
No promises.
Overview (Spoilers Below)
This week we got one part obligatory anime beach episode and one part retrieving the technology Earth was looking for to save their planet. The decision took a bit as Queen Starsha had to weigh whether or not to save us due to our past uses of tech, but eventually, she relents and allows us to return as planned. We also get to see what happened to Kodai’s brother before the Yamato begins its return trip back.
Our Take
If you’re big into the beach-like scenes from anime, this one’s right up your alley. Most of this week was just getting what we came for, the crew relaxing a bit, and some goodbyes at the end, though I think a show like this needs a dip in the water to cool off after the 23 prior episode journey it took to get here.
Score
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
