The anime's theatrical release spans seven films. Crunchyroll streams it as Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 3199.

The sixth film, Blue Labyrinth (Aoi Meikyū), opened on June 26. Its story sends the Yamato through a space-time node, taking the main characters to Tokyo in 2026, during the present-day Reiwa era.
