Explanation
“Sekai no Super Anime Uchû Senkan Yamato Ginga Tetsudô 999 Soshite Ima Nazo no Onna 1000-nen Joô ga Kimi ni Semaru!” (World's super anime: Space Battleship Yamato, Galaxy Express 999, and now the mysterious Queen Millennia is approaching you!) aired ahead of the broadcast of TV anime “Shin Taketori Monogatari 1000-nen Joô” (Queen Millennia). This TV special explores the world of Leiji Matsumoto using a new animation technique. Various Matsumoto anime characters, including Maetel, Tetsurô, and Susumu Kodai, appear in scenes combining live action footage and traditional animation. The program discusses the appeal of “Uchû Senkan Yamato” (Space Battleship Yamato) and “Ginga Tetsudô 999” (Galaxy Express 999), delves into Leiji Matsumoto's personality, and concludes with the pilot film of “Shin Taketori Monogatari 1000-nen Joô”.
In some sources, it is sometimes erroneously listed as “Shin Taketori Monogatari 1000-nen Joô / Matsumoto Leiji no Sekai”.
