Calling Star Blazers Fans -- iPhone App for Yamato Movie Released

Fanboy has some pix and a step-by-step guide to the new iPhone app promoting the recent animated Yamato movie (not, apparently, to be confused with the upcoming live-action Yamato movie, though I was initially confused).

Uh, what about us Nexus One (and other Android) users?

Space Battleship Yamato Readying Its Launch

The live-action version of former anime Space Battleship Yamato (known as Star Blazers here in the United States) looks to be making impressive progress toward its launch. The image on the home page of its official site (see above image) is pretty cool; go ahead, visit the site, there's a little bit of action that is neat, though it's still largely a place-holder.

Blogger Fanboy has the new poster for the movie, which is obviously part and parcel of the web site's image. And you can view the trailer for the film in my previous post on this topic.

Not due to be released in Japan until December 2010, American fans will have to either wait even longer for it to show up here or will have to book a trip to Tokyo.
