gategrrlThe Guy came home a few nights ago with the first season of Starblazers (Battleship Yamato to purists) on DVD, borrowed from a friend of his at work.
OMG, this show is as good as I remembered it being in the late seventies. Battlestar Galactica owes a LOT of it's characterization and plotting to this show. So does Star Wars, for that matter. It's a seminal show, with a terrific story arc that carried it through the entire season.
The animation isn't all that bad, either, and the design is awesome. But best of all is how the characters grow and learn, and the action keeps your attention while they struggle for their own and earth's survival.

StarBlazer's first season lyrics
We're off to outer space
We're leaving Mother Earth
To save the human race
Our Star Blazers
Searching for a distant star
Heading off to Iscandar
Leaving all we love behind
Who knows what danger we'll find?
We must be strong and brave
Our home we've got to save
If we don't in just one year
Mother Earth will disappear
Fighting with the Gamilons
We won't stop until we've won
Then we'll return and when we arrive
The Earth will survive
With our Star Blazers
