There are at least two instances of Space Battleship Yamato (anime and live-action) and they both feel kinda goofy: a ship-shaped spaceship. I thought that this was some Japanese thing -- paying homage to a heroic part of their history. I recently saw a documentary about the real battleship Yamato and oh boy... what a mess. Are there any Japanese amongst my followers who can tell me if these sci-fi versions are about paying homage? Because to me it feels a bit like historic revisionism.
