In 2199, the surface of the Earth has been bombarded into an uninhabitable radioactive wasteland by an alien race from the planet Gamilon. The Gamilon fleet (Gamila in the Japanese original) is superior to humanity's few remaining warships, and the extinction of humanity is likely within a year. In the middle of a losing battle against the Gamilon fleet, a spaceship from the planet Iscandar arrives and crashes on Mars. Two space cadets investigate the wreck, and discover a beautiful woman, dead, with a message for Earth: if Earth can send a ship to Iscandar, Queen Starsha of Iscandar will give Earth technology that will neutralize the radioactive contamination on the planet, and save humanity.

** The death of Kodai's brother Mamarou is [[Retcon]]ned in the ''2199'' remake. In the original series, Mamarou refuses to retreat due to [[Honor Before Reason]], since he can't live with the shame of retreating. This leads to his death being a arguably pointless one. In ''2199'', his death is played as a straight [[Heroic Sacrifice]] with him staying behind to ensure Okita's ship can withdraw safely.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] : Most of the other ''Star Blazers'' voice actors were never heard in anything else, and a few remain unidentified. The big exception is Sgt Knox who is voiced by Chris Latta (in what may be his very first voice acting role) who would later become legendary as the voice of [[G.I. Joe|Cobra Commander]] and [[The Transformers (animation)|Starscream]]. His voice for Knox sounds a bit like Steeler, another ''GI Joe'' character that he voiced.
* [[Historical Badass Upgrade]]: The historic battleship ''Yamato'' is infamous for seeing more use as a floating barracks and [[Fake Ultimate Mook|not being remotely as fearsome as her size suggested]]. In the show...
* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: Sanada/Sandor
* [[Honorifics]]: In the original Japanese version, "Leader Desslok" is referred to as "Dessler-sama", which can be best translated as "Lord Dessler".
