The anime inspired anime feature films, original video anime, and the sequel Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX.
The July issue of Akita Shoten’s Champion RED magazine revealed two of the main cast members in costume for the upcoming stage play adaptation of Leiji Matsumoto’s Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga on May 19.
The manga inspired a 1978-1979 television anime, and Crunchyroll and Funimation streamed the series.
In Matsumoto’s original 1977-79 Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga, the title character rebels against Earth’s inept government and fights for humanity with his crew of 40 aboard the invincible space battleship Arcadia.
