2nd film covering episodes 3-6 will premiere in theaters
in Japan on June 30
The film distributor Shochiku began streaming a
129-second promotional video on Thursday for the second installment of the
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 television anime series and film project. The
second film, which will cover episodes 3-6, will open in 10 theaters in Japan
on June 30. The Blu-ray Disc and DVD volume of the second film will then ship
on July 27.
Yutaka Izubuchi (RahXephon), the 53-year-old animator who
worked on mechanical designs and science-fiction concepts on some of the
earlier projects in the Yamato franchise, is serving as chief director of this
remake of the first series. Nobuteru Yuki (Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss War) is
designing the characters, and the anime studios XEBEC and AIC are producing the
anime.
The first episode of the television series was previewed
on TV on April 6; however, the rest of the episodes will not run on television
until 2013 or later. The first Blu-ray Disc/DVD volume, which contains the
first two episodes, will ship on Friday.
