Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2205

Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru TabidachiAnime (2021) Rather an odd set of extra episodes or 2 films as it seems to be broadcast in some formats. Here I saw it in 8 episodes, with the first 4 setting the scene and the second 4 is the climax to a very rushed ending. The story is set 3 years after the last season and ending of the time fault to a new fleet lead by this now very old but famous ship with some sister ships. The art is the same as before, it really hasn't changed at all unless you look really hard. Art isn't theissue. The sound is the same as ever and again, not the issue. Character development is pretty odd here, some characters from the first season are completely forgiven for the mutiny even though they instigated it and yet others are still treated awfully, not the fairest thing going. You also have another let's take over someone's home through war again but make it look good because slavery is now bad even though they did it before. The general feel of the show is that they keep bringing god-like enemies that are defeated through the emotions of the desire to win as we are more human than they are. Also interesting to see how the people everyone so admired are basically the worst people going and forgiveness rains upon all. I think the character development at times was sort of unnecessary and should have been more of a continuation since it doesn't always make sense. I mean in 3199 do we get more new characters that suddenly develop through what can be seen as one-line backstories? Overall, whilst not the best in the series it is a good 7/10. The OVA/Movies from this can feel... odd.
