The staff also announced the presents that theatergoers will receive during the first four weeks of Stasha's release. In each of those weeks, every theatergoer will receive one of three different reproduction copies of the film's character animation sketches or mechanical designs (while supplies last).

[The staff did not preview the presents for the fourth week yet.]

The Stasha film is the second of project, and it will open on February 4. As in prior films in the remake series, a special edition Blu-ray Disc of the film will be immediately available for purchase at the same time as the theatrical opening date, alongside digital cels. A separate edition Blu-ray Disc and DVD release will ship on March 29.

Uchū Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru Tabidachi - Zenshō -TAKE OFF-, the first of the two films, opened in Japan on October 8. Viewers could purchase a special edition Blu-ray Disc of the film at theaters. The standard edition Blu-ray Disc and DVD release shipped on November 26.

• Houko Kuwashima as Yuki Mori
• Houchu Ohtsuka as Shirō Sanada
• Kōichi Yamadera as Abelt Dessler
• Kikuko Inoue as Starsha Iscandar

Drawing its motifs from the 1979 television special Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage, the new two-film project's story begins three years after the war with the White Comet Empire. Kodai now commands the battleship Yamato with a new crew as they face another battle.

Uchū Senkan Yamato 2199: Hoshi-Meguru Hakobune anime film then opened in Japan in 2014.

As with dub.

Update: The original 1980 film Be Forever Yamato is not set in the year 3199, but the 2004 original video anime series Dai Yamato Zero-go is set in that year. Thank, Smeagol_17.
