Leiji Matsumoto launched the original Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato) manga in October 1974 alongside the original television anime, ending it after three volumes in December 1979. Matsumoto serialized the Shin Uchuu Senkan Yamato manga from April 2000 to April 2001. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the original manga in English and released it as an omnibus in April 2019.

Michio Murakawa began serializing the Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 remake in March 2012. Dark Horse Comics licensed the remake in English in January 2019 and released the second omnibus volume in March 2020.

The original Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Star Blazers: The Quest for Iscandar) television anime aired in 26 episodes from October 1974 to March 1975, followed by the sequel anime Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2 (Star Blazers: The Comet Empire) from October 1978 to April 1979.

The new Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Space Battleship Yamato) project—rebooting the 1974 anime series—began with the Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 (Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199) original video anime series that ran in 2012–2013. The Hoshimeguru Hakobune (Odyssey of the Celestial Ark) side story movie opened in December 2014.

The 26-episode Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2202: Ai no Senshi-tachi (Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2202) OVA ran between February 2017 and March 2019. The Seireki 2202-nen no Sentaku (Star Blazers Chronicle 2202) compilation movie, reconstructing Yamato 2199 and Yamato 2202 from a new perspective, screened in June 2021.

The remake project continued with Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru Tabidachi, which released in two parts theatrically in October 2021 and February 2022.

The latest installment in the franchise, Yamato yo, Towa ni: Rebel 3199 (Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 3199), debuted in July 2024, served as a sequel to Aratanaru Tabidachi. Reconstructing Yamato yo Towa ni (Be Forever Yamato) and Uchuu Senkan Yamato III (Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars), the movie project will screen in seven parts for 26 episodes, with the seventh and final part scheduled to premiere on October 30.
