Alt titles: Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Harlock
Synopsis:
In the year 2977, humanity has long passed its peak; machines are able to perform any task a human can, and people have succumbed to apathy. However, there remains one who refuses to accept such an existence: Captan Harlock, a pirate who sails the sea of stars aboard his ship, the Arcadia. He is feared and loathed by most inhabitants of Earth, and yet he is their only hope against the Mazones, a strange alien race of beautiful women that threatens humanity. Thus begins a lonely battle in which Harlock and the crew of Arcadia struggle to stay true to their ideals, while slowly unravelling the sad tale of the Mazones.

add recWhat Kino and Harlock, the protagonists after which their series are named, have in common is their detachment from what is considered normal in their worlds. Refusing to comply with social norms, both of them choose to become outcasts, wanderers who do not have a place to go back home to. While quite different in style, both series are at heart about the loneliness which comes from staying true to one's principles.

add rec
Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999 have very similar characters and themes which make each of them recommendable to each other. In many a cases the characters even cross over into each other causing unknown knowledge of both series to be present in each others. Other for knowledge, the stories have very similar themes like science fiction and to be true to one's self. These are reflected in both of the series well which might also come to the fact of they are created by the same person, Leiji Matsumoto.
