But a third force has intervened, as an emissary from the distant Iscandar has given humanity the plans for a faster-than-light drive.

Now the epic tale of a legendary WWII battleship retrofitted as a spacecraft on a mission to save Earth has been remade by the generation of Japanese creators that grew up inspired by it--with staff including Yutaka Izubuchi ( Cowboy Bebop: The Movie ), Nobuteru Yuki ( Kids on the Slope ), and Hideaki Anno ( Evangelion ).
