Where to start Space Battleship Yamato: begin with Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (2012), episode 1, for the modern remake series, or with the 1974 TV series, episode 1, for the original saga. This Space Battleship Yamato watch order (also known as Star Blazers) lists both continuities in story order. The original saga runs the 1974 series (Episodes 1-26), Yamato 2 (Episodes 1-26), The New Voyage, Be Forever Yamato, Yamato III (Episodes 1-25) and Final Yamato. Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato (1978) tells the Comet Empire story with a different, final ending, so it is an optional alternate to Yamato 2, which is the version the later sequels follow. The remake series runs 2199 (Episodes 1-26), 2202 (Episodes 1-26), 2205 (Episodes 1-8) and 3199 (Episodes 1-26), each remaking part of the original. The seventh and final chapter of 3199 opened in Japan on October 30, 2026. A separate new film, Cosmoship Yamato √2199, was announced on October 6, 2026 with no date yet. ## Recommended first watch Remake route: 2199 (26 episodes), 2202 (26), 2205 (8) and 3199 (26).
