I once heard a lecture from the physicist, Stephen Hawking, regarding black holes. He said that a civilization like the Earth’s was not likely to survive for long as it is, but he also said that there were many worlds like Earth in the cosmos. I once read a short SF tale about Earth being in danger, and its citizens embarked on a mass exodus to the stars for another world to colonize. I suggested to Producer Nishizaki that he should put these two ideas together. He liked it, so this is what will bring Yamato back again.

A future generation faces dark times. The fate of not only the earth but the cosmos itself is at stake. Although Yamato is the spirit of Japan, the new Space Battleship Yamato will be the means to save all of humanity. Producer Yoshinobu Nishizaki is making this new version to create a better civilization. We need to have the courage to use the right tools at our disposal to make that future come true.
