Summary:
The year is 2199. The human race has been crushed in their war with the Gamilos, driven into underground cities by the invader\'s assault. Scientists estimate they have only a year left. The young officers Susumu Kodai and Daisuke Shima receive a mysterious capsule from a ship that made an emergency landing on Mars and return with it to Earth. It contains humanity\'s last hope: the planet Iscandar on the other side of the Magellan Galaxy has the technology to defeat the Gamilos and restore the planet.
First episodes are (almost) a carbon-copy of the original series, but soon, even if it follows the same path, some original plots develope. Characters and spirit are faithful to themselves, still there is a fine tuning to the actual times (i.e., a larger number of women... some fat-bottomed too!). Until now, the best remake I've ever seen. Highly recommended to old (yes, I was there in the beginning of '80s) and new anime fans.
