Good news for fans who wanted to pick up Starblazers 2199 but were put off by the fact that it was expensive to ship and you couldn’t get it domestically through a trusted retailer that you knew. Right Stuf has worked with the company behind it, Voyager, and will be distributing it through their retail side for fans so you can add it onto any regular order, which can certainly help minimize the shipping costs if you’re ordering other titles along with it. The first volume on DVD and Blu-ray are now available for preorder ahead of the February 27th, 2014 release of the title which brings out the first four episodes in Japan with English and Spanish subtitles.
Plot concept: The year is 2199. Mother Earth is on the verge of breathing her last. Earth has been rendered a dead world by meteor bombs launched by Gamilas, a mysterious interstellar state. The time left to humanity, which has fled into underground cities, is a mere year.
Mankind’s final hope is the Yamato, which rests off of Kyushu’s Cape Bonomisaki – the Space Battleship Yamato! Believing in a message of salvation sent from the distant depths of the galaxy, the Yamato now sets sail with a young crew under the command of Captain Okita!
