An English rewrite and dub of the 1974 anime series Space Battleship Yamato, titled Star Blazers, makes its syndication debut in the United States. The series’ first season chronicles a last-ditch mission to save Earth by retrieving alien technology from another planet within one year. In the English-speaking world, the series is “stripped” for daily broadcast (referring to airing the show almost like a daily comic strip, rather than any removal of show content).
