Welcome to 2999, a thousand years in the future, humankind's influence reaches among the stars, a future full of hope and prosperity. Even during this bright time, lurks evils and people sought after riches. This is the story of Yamamoto Yohko, a girl from the year 1999 who is chosen to pilot the most advanced starship ever conceived, the TA-29..

Welcome again to Sore Yuke! Uchu Senkan Yamamoto Yohko, also known as "Space Battleship Yamamoto Yohko" or as the official english title reads, "Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko". All sounds a little overwhelming, no?

Two forces, known as Terra and Ness are fighting against each other for economic negotiations. The two spacefaring regions utilise powerful starships that are more advanced than any other organisation. The most powerful and experimental of the starships are possessed by the Terra's Estanatrech fleet, the TA-20 series. The newest model, powered by a the "Everblack Cannon", is the TA-29. Which no pilot has been able to control.

Curtis Lawson, the Chief engineer of the TA-series scouts four girls from the 20th century who have exceptional skills in gaming simulations. Hakyoin Ayano Elizabeth, Kagariya Momiji, Midoh Madoka and finally, the genius pilot, Yamamoto Yohko.

Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko was released in several incarnations. A novel series, a manga series, two OAV series (Space Battleship Yamamoto Yohko and the second which is called Space Battleship Yamamoto Yohko II), and more recently in April '99, a new TV series with the same title. The series shows that 1000 years from now, not everything is still being taken seriously. Using a drama/comedy setting, each of the characters has their own personality quirks and it's all very enjoyable. I'm quite surprised that it hasn't been picked up for a commercial release as of yet.

The story concept between the OAV series and the TV series remains very close to each other. There are some differences, as the TV series follows the manga storyline more closely with appearances of villains and supporting characters which only appeared in printed format. The "Redsnappers", Ness's rival group to Terra, are introduced differently. Additionally, the TV series has redesigned the character's look and style. I have to say that the TV series added a lot more depth to the characters in the series. Each of the character's biographies will outline the differences between the series. To date, this has to be one of the most fashionable series out. The girls from Yohko are constantly changing clothes and the way they look, several times an episode.

More to come. Until then, keep visiting. There's more to come.

Get ready! GO!
