■Comments from Harutoshi Fukui (Composition, Supervisor, Screenplay)

Journey from 0
The world of the "Space Battleship Yamato" remake series depicted in "2199" and "2202" is not simply an updated version of the old work,
It is a literal "world" constructed through metaphor and satire of reality. It is a world of division, misunderstanding, and people's lives perplexed by unwanted change.
It is a world of division, misunderstanding, and people's lives perplexed by unwanted change. It is a mirror image that offers hints and hope to those of us who tend to be stuck in these harsh times.
It is also a mirror image. Before watching the latest film "2205: A New Beginning", we would like to take you on a journey to reexamine this "world" from scratch.
I would like to take you on a journey to look at this "world" from scratch. Yes, not from 1, but from 0. The arrival on the moon, the settlement on Mars, the first contact with an alien civilization.
It is an unknown journey that diverges from reality and ventures outside of the galaxy with new images. Fans, if you underestimate this as a compilation.
Be warned, it will make your eyes roll. And for those who have not seen the series, don't miss this great opportunity to board the legendary ship.
