In 2013, a CG animation film adaptation of the same name directed by Shinji Aramaki has hit theatres. Academy Award winning Director James Cameron have praised this new film as “mythic, epic and visually unprecedented, Harlock will take you to a whole new universe of ideas.” The story sets in the future, where humanity has achieved a vast starfaring civilization, but is slowly and steadily succumbing to despair, often due to defeat and subjugation by a foreign invader. Rising against the general apathy, Harlock denies defeat and leads an outlaw crew aboard his starship Arcadia to undertake daring raids against Earth’s oppressors.
