The Space Battleship Yamato saga (known as Star Blazers in the United States) ended in 1983 with the fourth theatrical movie, Final Yamato (宇宙戦艦ヤマト・完結編, Uchuu Senkan Yamato Kanketsu Hen?, lit. "Space Battleship Yamato: Final Saga"). At a running time of approximately 165 minutes, Final Yamato currently holds the record as being the longest running animated film ever made.
Famous quotes containing the word final:
“The place became full of a watchful intentness now; for when other things sank brooding to sleep the heath appeared slowly to awake and listen. Every night its Titanic form seemed to await something; but it had waited thus, unmoved, during so many centuries, through the crises of so many things, that it could only be imagined to await one last crisis—the final overthrow.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
