No the last movie was the 4th one in the Wild West.  Everything after that is a fever dream.

 

lol...they went down hill, but to be fair, I sorta felt they all went gradually downhill.

You mean the 17 year old prostitute?  Just being a prostitute?  Honestly, that would just be backstory. 

 

Spoiler

Didn't she take growth suppressors/puberty blockers because her BF liked kids?

I honestly, don't recall that, but I only watched the anime and it's been awhile.  I know she was 17 in the manga, 18 in the American dub, and then I think back to 17 in something...but that...I really don't recall that in the anime.

It was in the comics/manga.  Similarly, if you watched the Riding Bean anime, (which sort of contained a prototype of Rally), one of the villain's love interest was basically an underage girl as well.

Honestly, I'm not as bothered by such things, as it's part of the story and you either accept it or just don't watch it.  Though, today I'm sure people would do some sort of protest over it.  😛

Seems like something that wouldn't be any different from a SVU or Criminal Minds episode.  Some fiction just isn't for some people.  Plus, I'd imagine it'd be animated at which point I am even more likely to not care, as it's animated.

 

But that could be something they could easily skip to.

Space Battleship Yamato (aka Starblazers in the US). 

 

This one has it all.  Compelling drama, interesting, well fleshed out characters, aliens, epic space battles, and a ship among the pantheon of greatest sci-fi spaceships of all time.  I literally ran home from the bus stop when I was a kid to watch this.  At the time, it was one of the most popular English-translated anime series here in the US. 

Late to the party - but Uchū Senkan Yamato/Star Blazers has already been rebooted/revitalized...  as Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and it's ongoing sequels.
