I've recently come to watch and finish the Yamato anime which you pointed me too.
So much better than that weird live action movie. That dimensional submarine episode was the most amazing thing. "How to dive down in
space, so we can have traditional navy warfare again? Well, if height is already taken, just add another dimension, duh!" Genius. Also renewed my view on Aurora cloaking technology.
..And right after that this space horror psi episode.. . It is a pretty amazing show. One of the few ones that has an acceptable ending too.(though still a bit rushed and clunky, because Japan, where the journey is the goal)
