    This was a discussion from the American movie thread I thought it better to divert to this thread.


    The original SBY was pretty much a trendsetter when it aired in the 70s, since it was one of the first ever space animes. The 2199 show does feel generic, in comparison to the hundreds of space animes that are now around.

    But it still manages to do its space opera story justice. And there are some definite improvements over the original (link below): more female officers and more focus on the Gamilas culture rather then keeping things human-centred.

    I think the 2199 show's art style does its best to fuse Matsumoto's distinct art style and the current anime style, and for the most part manages it well. The space vistas and spaceships look gorgeous (Google them and you'll see what I mean, but a sample is below) and the characters look fairly faithful to Matsumoto's manly and elegant/feminine designs.
