Professor Goldsbury, wouldn't a more accurate translation of Otoko-tachi no Yamato be something like, "Yamato, Ship of Men"?

Hello Josh,
Yes, indeed. I took the liberty because 'Yamato of Men' sounds much more corny than, e.g., 'ship of fools' of even 'children of men', and it is the
otoko-tachi that the film is primarily concerned with. Not that the
otoko were fools, of course. They had little choice and were barely
otoko. I can imagine Tadashi Abe in the role played by Shido Nakamura.
