I saw it in the English language version called Star Blazers, back in the '80s. The original Space Battleship Yamato, like a lot of Japanese anime was written for a wide audience, and not just kids. The animation is of its time, i.e., cheap, with low frame rates, but the stories are good. There are a few free episodes available on YouTube, and all 3 seasons are available for a fee.
