A pretty exciting episode, the opening theme is great for making action seem more exciting. The warp part was great, male crew members floating in the ship and the female crew member being stripped by the warp process. Never saw that on Star Trek :D

Of course. I expected it, but it still disappointed me that female crew members get stripped naked for no logical reason during a time warp.

Speaking of, is the Yamato's warping due to faster-than-light travel (like they said), or is it due to jumping between dimensions (which they also said)?

I don't believe traveling faster than the speed of light makes you jump between dimensions, and if they did in fact travel faster than the speed of light, space's lack of air resistance would mean they would travel at that speed indefinitely, not accelerate backwards to a dead stop at mars.

Quite trippy jump, but I really like where this is going! Let's see what's next.

Again, a tense episode entirely relying on a single event (here, the test). Nothing against it, since it works so well. There is still plenty of time for diversification.

Hum... this poor excuse to show a woman's underwears. Who came up with it?! XD
Thanks to the fansub's ending notes, I was reassured that I'm not crazy. I found the fighters change between depart and landing weird but it seemed "normal" in the anime so I thought I was the weird one.

4/5 I guess this is the oldest Tomino thing I watched.


(another protection suit inconsistency in this episode with Okita breathing on Mars)

For a moment I thought that Mars was terraformed or something but it's just an animation mistake.

They called this FTL technology warp but for me it looks more like a mix of hyperdrive and jump drive.

The directing in this particular episode was top notch. Incredible wide angle shot at the end and the tense silence post-warp with the panning shots of the ship and the crew was perfect.

That was the dumbest most needlessly elaborate warp sequence I've ever seen, and I loved it for that, rainbow yamato, Yuki randomly getting stripped, two yamatos colliding with each other, amazing, just amazing. . That's probably something the remake couldn't top
