Star Blazers

Star BlazersAn English rewrite and dub of the 1974 anime series Space Battleship Yamato, titled Star Blazers, makes its syndication debut in the United States. The series’ first season chronicles a last-ditch mission to save Earth by retrieving alien technology from another planet within one year. In the English-speaking world, the series is “stripped” for daily broadcast (referring to airing the show almost like a daily comic strip, rather than any removal of show content).
