I have had a very difficult time trying to compile a list of what episodes I need to find in order to assemble a complete Yamato, Harlock, and Galaxy Express collection, no doubt because not many others share my… rigorous… nature…
So I am noting everything I find here, and a digested version on Wikipedia. Shown below is a list of every TV episode, movie, OAV release, and TV special I could find in “my shows” (the Leiji Matsumoto shows I watch), in the Japanese kana/kanji and romaji versions of the titles. I have not included themed video games.Most of the information here came from the Leijiverse, a fan site run in English, Japanese, and French, apparently by a French fan. Some of the links there are broken in the English version- change the URLs to use all forwards slashes = “/” instead of backwards slashes / “sloshes” = “\”.
Some of these literally are 4 minutes… in the US, a “pilot” is an entire TV episode, a standard 28 minutes for a half hour slot. Apparently these “pilots” really are a short promotional preview, like a movie trailer.Yamato (aka Star Blazers)
