It's coming.
Translated (via Google): "Space Battleship Yamato 2205 New Departure Later Chapter -STASHA- February 4, 2022 (Friday) Theater screening starts! Blu-ray special limited edition released at the same time!"
This is the Bolar Wars arc. Expect some serious melodrama and maybe a few changes from the original version (as we saw with 2199 and 2202) as Earth's Hero Ship goes on another voyage.
And if you haven't watched 2199 or 2202, now's the time. Amazon has them on Blu-Ray and DVD, and streaming should be an option (legally or otherwise). There is a manga option if you prefer.
Space Battleship Yamato is one of the classics of Japanese space opera, right there with Captain Harlock and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, so put it up there with George Lucas or Gene Roddenberry's space operas in terms of genre literacy outside of the literary form.
Yes, there's a preview. Alas, it's entirely in Japanese.
Expect a great series. Yamato delivers.
