This original version was nicely remastered and cleaned up the error of the original! But it showed how nasty this weapon surely was!

This is the original anime. Great to see, if only for a few minutes.

What i grew up on

It is impossible to watch that without breaking out into singing “the Earth will survive with our Starblazers.”

Loved this show as a kid. This episode brings to mind the atomic testing on the Bikini Atoll for some reason.

God I miss this show. JP Patches and Star Blazers in the morning. Start a kid's day out right.

"The goggles! They do nothing!"

I remember watching that very scene at age 10, with my eyes big as saucers and my jaw hanging down. Incredible.

This is the cartoon that got me into anime!!

3:04 Oh, that’s very clever!

...👊😾!!!💯✔️

The original Captain Avatar’s voice is perfect! In the remake, I was so disappointed by the choice to make him a “golden voiced” baritone.

Definitely a comment on nuclear weapons from the country that suffered from attacks by them to the nations stockpiling them during the Cold War's nuclear proliferation.

If ever there were aliens invading us, I would have the Yamato right in the frontline with the Macross right beside it and the Arcadia doing the guerrilla warfare. hehehe

Loved this show!!!! Watched it all the time when I was a kid!!!!!🤗🤗🤗

Other clips of this I've seen, and the original I saw back in the 70s if memory serves, had an error at 2:13 where the ship was still in the center of the image. It was some sort of compositing error when the original cel animation of this scene was produced. I didn't know a corrected version existed until seeing this one. A small thing, but it makes a big difference.

Loved this as a kid. Not sure how they hit moving targets. Holy 💩

I loved watching this show in the mornings before elementary. Is the whole series available somewhere?

Ox King: Master Roshi, that's too much Kamehameha Wave. You've destroyed Fire Mountain and my castle. Roshi: Oops, sorry. I've destroyed your home by taking out the fire that protects it. 😅😅😅😅

What's a space knot?

For those that arent aware...Star Blazers was an allegory for WW2...the gamillons were Americans, the planet bombs and radiation was Hiroshima and Nagasaki its not a coincident that they resurrected the Yamato, the biggest and most powerful battleship ever built and sunk after its first and only major battle with Americans during WW2. Yeah...all this time we were rooting against Desslok and the gamillons and we were really rooting against OURSELVES..😆🤣🤣🤣

Man, I love that sound of the Wave Motion Gun powering up :) Thanks for posting this vid

That's where the gunbuster hyperspace sequence was ripped from

I didn't catch this when I was a kid and watching this after school, but now it's plain as day from them putting on dark goggles and the captain's ending monologue that the wave motion gun is meant as an analogy to the atomic bomb.

The earth has only 51 days to survive. I loved the live action version of this. You wouldnt think that an energy weapon would need wimdage and elevation on its optics.

What was the name of the gun...🤔

We also have this ruclips.net/video/PLZ6_fwp3U0/видео.html

Back when anime was worth watching

So they destroyed an ecosystem

1:57 😜

Remember that October 6th is the 50th anniversary of the original Japanese broadcast.🤩

3:50 With too much power comes too much responsibility....F*** it. Destroy everything.

40 space knots. Seems like a lot.

The floating continent. Is that a nod to flat earthers?

That one person trying to take a dump when all power got diverted to the wave motion gun...

There was a Full Lenth Motion Picture made from this show that sadly was never aired in the US 😟

I remember watching reruns of Star Trek, the Animated Series, when this was on. Kirk would have bounced a few photon torpedoes off of someone while they were still talking..

I can't believe I used to watch this crap religiously as a child... nor that I chose to re-watch it as an adult several decades later, nor why I am flooded with memories of shag rugs, bean bag chairs, and polyester lightening socks.

I used to race home from a school to be on time to watch this

Hell yes this takes me back 🫡

Kids today wouldn't have the patience for this cartoon

Holy hell I had my ear buds in with the volume up and now I feel like my ear drums got hit with the wave motion gun. 😢💀

This takes me back. Good times.

Great successor to Battle of the Planets!

This Japanese Anime Stuff is always Great!!!

I always found it interesting that this show incorporated a symbol of the military might of Imperial Japan.

"We took off just before it was hit" Oh yeah, sure, just like how all those people evacuated the city in two seconds before Nappa blew it up. God I hate the old timey anime censorship and I'm glad it's gone.

What was bro watching

Divert all power to the Wave-Motion Gun! Instantly shuts off light, heat, gravity, computers, and the switches that control the Wave-Motion Gun. Nobody can aim, see to fire, or fire if they can see. Meanwhile everyone floats about the cabin, swimming through pitch-black air which is being progressively filled more and more with vomit, tears, and panicking crew members. Okay, Divert MOST power to the Wave-Motion Gun!

Wow. I watched this most mornings back when I was in 4th grade. Good times.
