What do you get when you take the writer of Kino’s Journey, the director of Metropolis, and the characters of Leiji Matsumoto? You get an honestly good Captain Herlock… er, Harlock series with only a few annoying eccentricities. Sounds like a low bar? Well, yeah, I guess if you judge it compared to Harlock Saga, it is, but it’s actually just good on its own. Though I guess with it not being available, you may have to… pirate it.

Otaku Evolution Episode 41 – Harlock Saga
Wait, did I follow up a review of a movie where Nazi mystics were the villains with a review of an OVA based off an opera by an anti-semite and favorite composer of Hitler? Yikes.
