I'm really more concerned about the new animated series.

I mean, Final Yamato was already enough as it is. In fact, anything after Farewell was arguably too much.

I'll disagree there. Farewell/Arrivederci spawned the Yamato II TV series which was my favourite of all the Yamato/Star Blazers storyline. That said, I didn't mind the follow-on movies, although Yamato III was far too much of a slightly modified rerun of the original series, and Final spoiler[bringing Okhita back from the dead cheapened the significance of his sacrifice in the original series.]

Don't get me wrong, I like pretty much all Yamato anime from the first series to Final. But, they didn't really need any new Yamato after Farewell, as it was, in my opinion, a satisfactory conclusion.

I, too, enjoyed the second series. I even enjoyed New Voyage (to a certain extent) and Be Forever (though some of its plot points fell a little flat, spoiler[like the Dark Nebula thinking they even had to trick the Yamato crew and not just plain destroying them while they could.])

I agree with you on spoiler[Okita's sudden resurrection] in Final Yamato. Even some of the cast and crew seemed a little confused by it. But, the movie was pretty beautiful and was also a fair conclusion to the saga. After something like that, and two "conclusions", I don't think there needs to be any more Yamato.
