It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Super-Battleship

So the series is Long since over but i find the images pretty interesting. And theres alot of underlying subtext to the show.

These are from a 80's era anime known as Space-Battleship Yamato. The story is something about invading aliens wiping out most of earth's population or some such. When all hope seems lost, another alien race sympathetic to our cause transmits the plans for a futuristic power generator and interstellar engines. But time is running out and with so much already destroyed theres no suitable hull to place these in, let alone build from scratch. Some how the decision is made to raise the wreck of the battleship Yamato Sunk during World War 2 by intense aerial bombing. the ship is presumably fixed up and made somehow space worthy, they escape and space hijinks ensue as they explore and continue to battle the bad aliens.
