Uchuu Senkan Yamato is a monumental work of SF anime that first aired its TV series from October 1974 to March 1975. Since then, numerous TV series, theatrical films, and even a live-action film have been produced, making it a beloved series by many.

In the year 2199 AD, humanity was on the verge of extinction. Attacked by the mysterious planet Gamilas, which sought to invade Earth, the seas had evaporated and the surface was contaminated with radiation. Amidst this crisis, information about the radiation removal device, Cosmo Cleaner D, was brought from the planet Iscandar. Based on the blueprint for the Wave Motion Engine sent along with the message, humanity rebuilt the World War II battleship “Yamato” as a space battleship. To receive Cosmo Cleaner D, they set off for Iscandar. With only one year until humanity’s demise, will the Yamato be able to return safely to Earth from its 296,000 light-year round trip…?

The “T-shirt Collection,” consisting of a total of 19 types, will be released at the Osaka venue of the “Uchuu Senkan Yamato Zen Kiroku Ten,” which is planned and produced by Anno Hideaki and commemorates the 50th anniversary of its broadcast. The designs feature art by renowned creators including Asamiya Kia (Kikuchi Michitaka), Izubuchi Yutaka, Yuuki Nobuteru, Mikimoto Haruhiko, and Anno Hideaki himself.

The model for the collection is Tsunko, who is active as a cosplayer, voice actor, DJ, and anime T-shirt enthusiast.

Commemorative Collaboration Goods

Furthermore, in commemoration of the “Uchuu Senkan Yamato Zen Kiroku Ten” being held in Osaka, collaboration goods with local manufacturers will appear. For the collaboration product with Orion, a long-established dagashi (cheap candy) maker from Osaka, pay attention to the package where Yamato’s “Shock Cannon” is featured on the cigarette pattern. The large box contains 10 collaboration design cocoa cigarettes.

For the collaboration product with Aoki Matsufuuan’s “Miruku Manjuu Tsukigeshou,” a classic Osaka souvenir, the package uses the exhibition poster visual. One random original sticker (5 types in total) is enclosed in each box.

Exhibition Details and Anno Hideaki’s Comment

The “Uchuu Senkan Yamato Zen Kiroku Ten” brings together over 2,000 valuable items, including planning documents from the time, character and mechanic setting drawings, original drawings, and background art. The Osaka venue will be held at “Namba Skyo 7F Convention Hall” from July 19th to August 3rd. On July 26th, there will also be a cheki (instant photo) session and handover event for T-shirt purchasers in the merchandise corner featuring Tsunko (appearing in Mori Yuki cosplay).

Anno Hideaki’s comment for the visitors of the Osaka venue has also been released (full text below).

Authentic “drawings” have power.

Looking at the “drawings” of “Uchuu Senkan Yamato,” the setting drawings, original drawings, etc., you will discover and be moved by how much detail was put into them, how much thought went into drawing them. You can feel the “feelings” and “passion” of the people who created them, which might even inspire you to get involved in creating works yourself.

It is also impressive that something of this scale was created half a century ago.

This exhibition showcases not only the wonder and excitement of “Uchuu Senkan Yamato,” which can be called the origin of Japanese “anime,” but also its 50-year history as much as possible, allowing you to look back on everything from a comprehensive perspective.

Please come and see it.

Anno Hideaki, a fan of “Uchuu Senkan Yamato” from half a century ago.
