Bandai's Home Video Release of Space Battleship Yamato 2202 Won't Include English Subs

Bandai Visual confirmed with ANN on Friday that its home video release of the Uchū Senkan Yamato 2202: Ai no Senshi-tachi (Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love or Star Blazers 2202: Warriors of Love) anime sequel project will not feature English subtitles.

Bandai Visual's Blu-ray Disc release of the seven-part Space Battleship Yamato 2199 film project in 2012-2013 (and later 2015 compilation film) did include English subtitles, although the DVD release did not.

Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love is a seven-part theatrical film project. The first film opened in theaters on Saturday and also began streaming online for a fee on the same day. The film will be available to rent digitally starting on March 11, and will ship on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on March 24.

The second film will open in theaters in Japan on June 24, and will also begin streaming for a fee on the same day. Digital rentals of the new film will start on July 8, and the standard edition Blu-ray Disc and DVD will ship on July 28.​
