Trivia / Space Battleship Yamato 2199

• All-Star Cast:
  • Only a remake to such a legendary series could assemble all these guys in a single show. Norio Wakamoto, Daisuke Ono, Houko Kuwashima, Kenichi Suzumura, Akio Ōtsuka, Aya Hisakawa, Keiji Fujiwara, Kikuko Inoue, Kōichi Yamadera, Rie Tanaka, Joji Nakata and the list goes on.
  • This extends to the theme song (originally done with just one person, who still performs in it,) which effectively drew every single major anison singer or group - over forty people involved - into one single project. There's several ending themes purely so every single one of them can get a chance to do a solo piece for it. ^note This was one of the few times that JAM Project did a collaborative project with all of their members, both past and present, working on the same thing.
• Channel Hop: The original series aired on Nippon TV, 2199 however aired on TBS.
• The Other Darrin: All of the original Yamato characters from the 1974 TV series have been recast for Yamato 2199, both living and dead. For example, Susumu Kodai, voiced by the late Kei Tomiyama, is now voiced by Daisuke Ono.
• The Other Marty: When Voyager Entertainment first licensed the series for a North American release, a pilot episode was recorded at Bang Zoom! Entertainment. Once Funimation acquired the rights four years later, they recorded the dub at their Dallas-based studios.
• Studio Hop: At first, the North American releases were handled by Voyager Entertainment, before switching over to Funimation.
• You Sound Familiar: Dessler is voiced by Kōichi Yamadera, who succeeded the late Kei Tomiyama as Susumu Kodai in other Yamato entries.
• Despite not being a mecha series, this show will be making it's Super Robot Wars debut in V, though this isn't the first time a non-mecha franchise has been in a Super Robot Wars game.
