From my/our childhood a beloved classic is "reborn." Along with
Speed Racer and Kimba the White Lion, Star Blazers (Space Cruiser Yamato.) was a 70's Anime T.V. series that introduced adult themes and storylines to American children.
(As well as the incredibly cool "Wave Motion Gun.")
I liked the second trailer best especially the robot's voice (LOL.)
