This post is part of the "Leijiverse" collection.
The Yamato series is a science fiction series directed by Leiji Matsumoto, and written by Yoshinobu Nishizaki. It is also a part of the "Leijiverse" canon.
Being a series with many entries, it is pretty daunting to get into if you don't know where to start. As such, the purpose of this guide will be to have everything in one place!
The watch order was pulled from a comment on this forum post.
How to Watch Space Battleship Yamato
Watching SBY is largely in release order. The first two are:
Space Battleship Yamato (and the compilation movie by the same name) -> Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato
Farewell was remade as Space Battleship Yamato II with a different ending. Following that:
-> Space Battleship Yamato: The New Voyage -> Be Forever Yamato -> Space Battleship Yamato III -> Space Battleship Yamato: Final Chapter
Followed by....:
-> Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection -> Yamato 2520 0 -> Great Yamato No. 0
That's a lot! Here's all of them, abbreviated, in one list:
SBY -> Farewell (SBYII) -> New Voyage -> Be Forever -> SBYIII -> Final Chapter -> Resurrection -> 2520 -> Great Yamato
There is also a series of remakes that were fairly recent:
Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 -> USY 2199: Hoshimeguru Hakobune -> USY 2202: Ai no Senshi-tachi -> USY 2205: Aratanaru Tabidachi
