In the galactic group there are more than 100,000,000,000 galaxies, and the Milky Way galaxy, the one which includes Earth's solar system, is only one of these... one of many in the immensity of outer space.
This story starts in the year 3199, when a mighty enemy attacks the Milky Way from a neighbouring galaxy. The enemy engages the combined forces of the Milky Way, an Alliance of many stellar nations, and defeats them one after another.
The remaining Milky Way Alliance forces are reduced to just six fleets. After the Alliance headquarters is destroyed, and when the collapse of the central Milky Way Alliance is imminent, the Great Yamato "Zero" surprises everyone and embarks on a mission to assist the Milky Way Alliance in one last great battle.

Where it came from
Great Yamato No. 0 was released in 2004 as a direct-to-video original video animation project produced by Benlai Pictures. It serves as an unofficial and unauthorized spin-off of the seminal Space Battleship Yamato franchise, created by Leiji Matsumoto. Because the production lacked the necessary licensing from the original copyright holders, the project faced significant legal challenges that ultimately stifled its distribution and impacted its reputation within the anime community.
The production was helmed by Leiji Matsumoto himself, who intended for the work to exist as a divergent path or a personal reimagining of his classic space opera themes. Despite the pedigree of its creator, the animation quality and narrative structure were often criticized upon its release. The project remains a historical curiosity, primarily noted for the intense legal battles that surrounded its existence and its attempt to revisit iconic themes without the backing of the established production committees.
