Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
The Space Battleship Yamato Complete Record Exhibition, a special exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of Space Battleship Yamato, planned and produced by Anno Hideaki, will be held at the Seibu Shibuya store in Tokyo from March 15th to 31st, 2025. The contents of the exhibition and products that will be sold exclusively on the venue have been revealed.
The Space Battleship Yamato Complete Record Exhibition is a special exhibition that will be planned and produced by Anno, who says, “If I hadn’t met Space Battleship Yamato, I wouldn’t be the kind of person I am today,” and will display valuable materials such as proposals from the time and setting drawings of characters/mechanics, from the materials stored by the Anime Special Effects Archives Organization (ATAC), and will also sell original goods.
In the exhibition area on the 7th floor, numerous intermediate materials will be displayed, including setting, original drawings, and art, from the launch of the anime Space Battleship Yamato to the 296,000 light-year journey depicted in all 26 episodes of the TV series, along with the episode.
After passing through the entrance, you will see the actual product of the earliest phantom proposal and numerous image artworks that are currently unthinkable from Yamato. You can also see the numerous early character designs that were brushed up by Matsumoto Reiji, as well as actual Yamato ship setting materials. In addition, pilot films and other films will also be screened.
The exhibition part, which follows the storyline of the TV series, will display the setting of characters and mechas tailored to the episode, storyboards, art, cel paintings, and more. You can also check out the large original drawings and background paintings of specially sized Yamato ships, outer space, and the underground cities of Earth.
Other sections featuring “Cast”, “Magazines/Comics”, “Music/Sound Effects”, as well as large models of Yamato ships that showcase the internal structure, and photo spots with major characters. The exhibition will feature a dense introduction to Space Battleship Yamato, a masterpiece of Japanese anime, from various angles, with a large number of materials, and not only will those who are going to experience Yamato, but also fans who have enjoyed the work so far will feel a new appeal.
In the exhibition area on the second floor, the history of Space Battleship Yamato will be introduced in chronological order in a large chronological space, from the original Yamato in 1974 to the remake series currently being shown in theaters. And music media such as nostalgic products, including plastic models, and records that have colored the Yamato series, can be arranged as much as the space allows.
In the large chronology that traces Yamato’s voyage over 50 years, past poster visuals, as well as clippings from magazines and newspapers from the time, as well as drawings of each work, are spread across the walls along the ages. You will be able to enjoy it while thinking about the events of that era and thinking about it. In the center of the room is a model of the latest giant Yamato ship, about 3 meters long, and is a room that gives you a sense of 50 years of history.
In addition, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Space Battleship Yamato’s television broadcast and the holding of this special exhibition, new products will be available exclusively at the venue. The “Complete Record Exhibition Acrylic Stand Character/Mecha” is an acrylic stand with characters and mecha, with newly colored setting drawings for this time.
The “All Record Exhibition Can Badge Lottery, 24 Types” is a can badge that uses the touch of the character setting drawing as it is. The “Full Record Exhibition T-shirt” was adapted to Anno’s desire to “have a T-shirt that makes use of the mechanical settings,” and Yamato’s setting was featured on the T-shirt.
The “All Materials Exhibition Shopper” is designed entirely with Yamato ships. “Yukikaze Snow Globe” is a new model of Yukikaze, which appeared in episode 6 of the TV series, and was discovered on the Saturn’s satellite “Titan.”
The “W Yamato Collaboration Liquid Glue” is a miraculous collaboration between Yamato, a long-established glue manufacturer, and Space Battleship Yamato. The liquid-formed Arabic Yamato package is in Space Battleship Yamato. There are also other new products scheduled to be released, so we look forward to further news.
