Hideaki Anno and Yutaka Izubuchi team up for a new Yamato film
Cosmoship Yamato √2199 is a Production I.G and Studio Khara collaboration; no release date has been announced.
The Yamato is preparing for another cinematic voyage. On October 6, Production I.G announced the animated feature Cosmoship Yamato √2199, directed by Hideaki Anno and Yutaka Izubuchi.
Anno also handles planning and executive production, while Izubuchi contributes design work. Production I.G and Studio Khara are collaborating on the animation. The teaser poster shows the ship beneath a star-filled sky.
The symbol in the title is read as “Route.” The new feature is distinct from the earlier Space Battleship Yamato 2199 series, on which Izubuchi was chief director and whose first episodes received theatrical previews in 2012. The precise relationship between the stories has not been detailed.
The announcement did not give specific Japanese or Brazilian release dates or a cast. Further updates can be followed on the film’s official site.
