This is Captain Harlock: Space Pirate - The Complete TV Series on 6 DVD's. The audio is Japanese with English subtitles. DVD 2 looks to be in good to around very good condition with a few fingerprints, a few faint to lite marks, and a tiny lite to moderate mark.
I discovered this piece of of popular culture from an old school video store in the 80 s. I absolutely loved the character. At 9 years old I practically wanted to be Captain Harlock. I am absolutely thrilled ๐ to find all the old cartoons gathered together on ๐ DVD. I even love watching it in sub titles.The DVD was in mint condition and it played well.
Captain Harlock - Still Great and Better Than Ever!
Although the animation may, arguably, be criticized for its early foibles, this series still holds up very well and has greater depth in the story line, character development, and overall message than anything being produced in Japan or elsewhere today. The series had a very positive theme in its defense of the underdog and condemnation of corporate greed, misuse of power, and anti-human corruption.
I can heartily recommend the series to kids today and hope that more notice may come its way in the future.
