Title: Just What The Heck Is With That Kodai Boy, Anyway?
Product review: Okay, I'm coming from a different angle. Of course I loved this film, Yamato junkie that I am. The only thing is that Kodai's character nagged at me through the entire thing. If I were Yuki, I would have dumped his space ace butt a while before this film takes place. His mind doesn't seem to be in one place for any of it, which is good in a sense as it enables him to connect Teresa's message with the Comet Empire. He can command a cargo ship but forgets he's getting married in three days? He conveniently forgets that, uh, Yuki is a member of Yamato's crew as well? I won't spoil the ending, but I will say it's a little over the top as far as melodrama goes. Kodai aside, this film showcases how the characters have matured since the first film. Naturally, the animation is top notch, especially those launch sequences at which Matsumoto excelled. This is a must for Yamato fans, and highly recommended for anime lovers.
