Arcadia Of My Youth is a film featuring one of Leiji Matsumoto's creations, Captain Harlock. In this movie, aliens of the Illumidus Empire conquer Earth and enslave humanity. Captain Harlock returns home in his battle cruiser, and confronts a populace that blames him and warriors like him for not being there to protect the planet..... and Harlock goes about trying to lead a resistance, and adopts the fighting strategy of ancient marauders. The movie draws many parallels with Japan during WWII.

This is such an amazing anime, not just because it has super cool space pirates, or brave galactic heroes, or a gigant space parrot like creature, not, the star is the story. There are a lot of animes on Captain Harlock but this has an special place in my heart because of the amazing and beautiful ending. This anime is about freedom, hope and the will to fight. A little old school but worth your time.
