    Read the review of Yamato 2199 at Anime.com yesterday.Interesting that both the new anime series and

    the live action movie came out at the same time.

    I assume you mean that they first started production at the same time, because the live action movie came out in January of 2010, while the new series only just started to be released in the summer of 2012. Yeah, it is interesting that the creators of 2199 had to work with the success and innovations of the live action movie hanging over them, and in many ways I can see where they may have drawn inspiration from it.

    Did Sci Fi/SyFy ever air any version of Yamato under either that name or Starblazers?


    Yes as a matter of fact they did. As WisperG here can tell you firsthand, Syfy aired episodes of Star Blazers late at night in its killed-too-soon anime block.
