Product: Space Pirate Captain Herlock - The Legend Returns (Vol. 1)
Rating: 5.0
Brings me back...
Over the years the one anime series which has left a long impression was the "Space Pirate Captain Harlock" sequences from the "Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years" series that aired on TV. Until then, only the Galaxy Express movies and Arcadia of My Youth have lived up to my initial expectations of what Harlock is about: sacrifice, heroism, and the coming of age.I first saw this DVD at a friend's house and was more than pleasantly surprised as it really does seem to capture what I loved about the initial series. The artwork, sound, and dialogue are terrific. The story is reminiscent of the first series, though this is not a remake.What can I say? Five stars.
