Feb 25, 2023 at 13:35 comment added lfurini Does this answer your question? 80s-90s anime (movie or series) in which an armored girl exchanges age with a dying man on a beach
Jan 28, 2023 at 11:25 comment added Moo @lfurini oooh, you might have hit on something there - that movie also contains one of my other points, specifically the shooting range with living humanoid targets. The ending seems to match as well - so I probably have conflated two movies here. Thank you.
Jan 28, 2023 at 9:21 comment added lfurini @Moo, is there a chance the VHS contained episodes from different series, or that you are conflating memories of different pieces of animation? Because the "two characters on a shoreline, one becomes a baby" scene is exactly like the one described in scifi.stackexchange.com/a/200231/40711, but that movie does not seem to match the other points.

Jul 20, 2019 at 12:38 comment added SpaceWolf1701 @Moo Well, the Yamato is the only example of a WWII-naval-vessel-converted-to-spacecraft in an anime, or any fiction, that I know of, so therefore you're talking about one of the movies or the TV shows. So we've at least narrowed it down to that.
Jul 20, 2019 at 9:40 comment added Moo @SpaceWolf1701 from my vague recollection, yes that may have been the ship from the anime I saw, but the aforementioned specific scenes are what sticks in my mind.

Jul 18, 2019 at 23:59 comment added SpaceWolf1701 @Moo Does this ship look like the one in the anime, if you remember? Space conversion: shipschematics.net/yamato/images/edf/battleship_yamato.jpg Seagoing warship: shipschematics.net/yamato/images/edf/battleship_yamato_1945.jpg
Jul 18, 2019 at 23:20 comment added Moo @Jenayah the comments above are useful but vague and cover three movies without more than a "that sounds like...", which I'm not really interested in chasing down. If someone can definitively say "yup, this movie contains those scenes", that's what I'm after.
Jul 18, 2019 at 23:14 comment added Jenayah So Moo, any input on Starblazers/Space Battleship Yamato suggested above? Is that possibly one of these or should answerers drop that lead?

Apr 5, 2019 at 15:25 comment added M. A. Golding Yes, an anime seen in the 1980s with a battleship reused as a spaceship screams Space Battleship Yamato. The series was 1974-75. A condensed movie version of the series was released in 1977. There were a number of sequel series and three sequel movies in 1978, 1979, and 1980. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Battleship_Yamato#Movie_edition And some of the movies could have been available in English in the 1980s.

Apr 5, 2019 at 4:35 comment added cybernetic.nomad The first point means it should be one of the Space Battleship Yamato. I have however not seen all of them and so cannot confirm if the two scenes you mention are in one of them
