Yes, this is hands down better than the original 1974 series, which was your run-of-the-mill 70's sci-fi/fantasy show with the only noteworthy aspect being...the presence of only ONE female character in the whole Yamato crew. Luckily they corrected it with this iteration. And if the older anime elitists don't like this because "it gathers to women!111!!" or "it looks like a videogame!!11!!!" who cares. I'll take this 10-20 times over the original anytime. Recommended for the people sickened of Disney treatment of SW who wish to enjoy good quality space opera again.

One of the few cases where the remake completely trumps the original series
