The year is 2199. The Gamilon Empire is bent on total domination of the Universe. Desslok, Leader of the Gamilon Empire, has sent radioactive planet bombs to Earth and within one year, Earth will be uninhabitable. An elite group of Earth Defense fighters, called the Star Force, must race against time to Iscandar and bring back the Cosmo DNA to reverse the radioactive contamination and return Earth to her former beauty. The Star Force, led by Captain Avatar must make the round trip in 365 days, or Earth will be doomed. This series is a fresh perspective on the eternal battle of good versus evil that will appeal to sci-fi fans of all ages.

I can remember the school years of 77 & 78 when all I could think about was getting home in time for Star Blazers. In the days before VCRs, this was the next best thing to being able to watch Star Wars at home.

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!! Talk about a kid in a candy store! This was my favorite show as a kid. Now I have the whole collection WITH the feature Films! I have to admit, that the anime is cheezy by todays standards, however I'm a Starblazers Loyatist (If there is such a thing). I am eagerly wating Yamato Resurrection (Yamato 2350 I believe). Thats gonna rock! This is one of the only series that by the end of each episode would always have an underlining theme to it: "Hurry Star Force! There are only 365 days left before Earth will become a silent planet!"

Now I just wonder if they'll release the series on DVD??? One can only hope.

A compilation of the best animated series ever to air on U.S. television. I was in the fourth grade when I saw Star Blazers for the first and last time. Finally, the search for a complete set is over!

I remember rushing home from school to watch this when it was on a UHF station and cable was for the rich. School got out at 2:50 and Starblazers was on at 3:00. I never missed an episode. Now I can relive those days and share them with my kids. These shows are a great story of man's undying need to survive. I'm so glad to see them again.

This classic set of 26 epsidoes was aired in the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s. There were three seperate series, this being the first. Earth is under attack by evil aliens in the future and the only hope is to refit the old World War II battleship, the Yamato. It becomes the Argo and watch it begin its quest. Most men 20-30 will probably remember this show from our childhood. END

In 2199, the Earth has been hopelessly contaminated by radioactive planet bombs sent by the mysterious planet Gamilon. In a year's time, Earth will be completely unlivable. From the distant planet Iscandar, a message is received, offering Earth one chance for survival. In this series, they embark upon the 148000 light year voyage and triumph over their enemy, the Gamilons. I really enjoy this series the most. Lots of action, several emotional parts where friends or loved ones are lost, rivalries and romances between members of the crew. All in all, a good start for those new to the series, and an old favorite for those fond of it, like myself!

First if you are a fan of any type of genre Star Blazers is the one for you. It offers suspense, tragedy, drama, action, you name it, it has it. Hailed by all critics as the best sci-fi cartoon of all time. You will never again see anything that comes to the quality of Star Blazers. It blows away evry movie and t.v. series away in any type of aspect. This blows away any oscar winner by a long-shot. And now about the series. Its about a race called the Gamilons sending radition bombs to earth. This causes humans to live underground due to extreme radiation. The earths only hope is a special ship design implamented on to the last remaining ship on Earth The Yamato. Can this ship reach a planet light years away and save their planet from destructio. Found out in the ongoing saga of Star Blazers.

When I was 6 years old living in San Jose, California. I used to wake up early every Saturday morning and watch Star Blazers. This first set of episodes are classic since it introduces us and the world to possible conditions in living underground cause of radiation. But this radiation is coming from a Bad guy(deslock) from another solar system. A group of people are set on course to destroy the planet that is sending radiation meteors to Earth. Along the way they encounter many obsticles, visit different planets, and get to use the most powerful weapon of any cartoon,"The Wave motion gun". Awesome series and great effects. Lots of action and adventure. They should make a video game out of this. You haven't lived yet until you've seen this series. Get it now, I've been searching for this series for the last 10 to 15 years. Thank you amazon.com for giving me another chance to watch this series. You need to get the second series also, to finish the whole adventure.

I think I was 11 or 12 when this series was on the old UHF channels. Every day after school I would watch the journey of the Argo to Iscandar. I loved it!! I had no idea they did a second and third series. Where was I? Oh, yeah, Luke and Laura ran away together! That's where I was. But I'm so glad the series is on VHS. Now I can relive a time when weekday afternoons were about visiting other worlds and not making deadlines!
