I'm a big fan of Starblazers, the English version of the Japanese anime, Space Battleship Yamato. It was aired in the Philippines sometime between 1981-1986.

I recently heard that there will be a live-action (with CGI) remake version coming in December 2010, by a Japanese film company. I thought this is great, and I hope it's as good (or better) than the Astroboy remake.

Anyways I thought of making and putting up a video of the Argo (Yamato) in earth orbit, using an addon for Orbiter Space Flight simulator, with the Starblazers intro theme playing in the background...here's the result of 45 minutes worth of work:

People in their mid or late 30's will hopefully feel nostalgic about this

There's also a Gatchaman (G-Force) remake in the works (from the same group who made Astroboy) but I haven't heard additional news about it yet.
