Science fiction epic Space Battle Ship Yamato 2199 has already reached its climax in Japan and a year-and-a-half after its first movie hit Japanese theaters last April 2012, the anime will sadly end with the last chapter scheduled to air in Japan on September 29, 2013.
To commemorate the end of such an epic series, the anime staff has set up a very special fan participation campaign which requires 10,000 new recruits to join in and become crew of the Yamato. The campaign started last September 20 and it’s titled “Let’s make a huge Yamato artwork!”.
This fan participation campaign asks the participants to a submit a photo and that photo will become part of a huge photo mosaic featuring the legendary space battleship. Fans can submit a photo of themselves alone or with their loved ones or their pets as long as it is relevant to the anime. The end product will be published in Japanese newspapers nationwide.
A special website has already been put up for those who want to join in. The special website also offers fans the chance to cosplay as their favorite Space Battleship Yamato characters. They can print and cut-out some paper costumes that they can wear for their photo submissions. All items are in 1/1 scale so fans wanting to try them out can enjoy these Yamato character effects.
Fans can submit their applications only until October 2, 2013. The announcement for the accepted applicants would be on October 25, 2013, the same day as the scheduled release of Chapter 7′s BluRay and DVD. Accepted applicants will receive an e-mail prior to the announcement.
