Space Battleship Yamato is a Japanese science fiction anime series featuring a spacecraft of the same name. English-speaking audiences also know it as Space Cruiser Yamato; an English-dubbed and heavily edited version aired on North American and Australian television as Star Blazers. The first two seasons of that version were broadcast in Greece in 1981-82 as Διαστημόπλοιο Αργώ. An Italian-language version also aired under the name Star Blazers in Italy, and a Portuguese-language version was shown successfully in Brazil under the title Patrulha Estelar, and as Viaje a Ultima Galaxia or Astronave Intrepido in Spain and Latin America. It is a seminal series in anime history, marking a turn toward more complex, serious works and influencing series such as Mobile Suit Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion; Hideaki Anno has ranked Yamato as his favorite anime and credited it with sparking his interest in anime. Yamato was the first anime series or movie to win the Seiun Award, a feat not repeated until 1985 with Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
