Space Battleship Yamato (1977)

Space Battleship Yamato is the first theatrical movie based on the classic anime series. Unlike the later films that would follow it, this is a compilation film consisting of various television episodes edited from the "Iscandar" arc of the television series. It originally had a new ending created for the theatrical release in which Starsha had died before the Yamato reaching Iscandar. This ending was removed for the TV broadcast and was lost until the DVD release. In English speaking countries it was known by the title, Space Cruiser.
