Harlock is practically invincible and deals with every crisis the same way; by walking straight into it and bitch-slapping everyone into submission (both literally and metaphorically.) It's cool to see him do that, of course, but it does remove a lot of tension from the show itself.

Most episodes focused on Harlock's conflicts with Queen Lafresia, the evil alien ruler of the Zetons (Mazones in the Japanese original and in the Harlock/Millennia dub- Zetons comes from the ZIV dub).
Hairball's son Tommy Dexter (Terry Drake in the Harmony Gold dub) vowed revenge on the captain, but once he learned the truth, he joined the crew of Harlock's ship, the Arcadia.

 Harlock "continuity."
After this declaration, which is significant and utterly true, the writer will then proceed to elaborate on some form of overarching continuity, as if they had suddenly been struck with a flat iron and were unable to remember their own prior assertion.
Take heed: she is never known by this name in any original Harlock anime or manga; I can only assume that either they've all watched the French-dubbed version Albator, where her name was in fact changed to "Esmerelda," or that's it's just a case of people not paying very close attention.
Please note that as newer Matsumoto anime featuring Harlock is still being produced, this list may not be 100% complete at the time you may be happening to read it, a fact which remains, as always, entirely your own problem.

 AAW: Harlock Saga Review
It is a testament to the strength of Matsumoto's vision (as well as quality filmmaking) that the characters, and the story as a whole, manage to stay true to their classic anime origins without feeling dated or stale.
The one impressive exception is Kouichi Yamadera, who voices not only the ultra-cool, low-key Captain Harlock, but the quirky little Tochiro as well--Harlock as the quintessential stoic Captain without being annoyingly emotionless, and Tochiro as the colorful counterpoint while still being far from any kind of comic relief.
Harlock Saga is a little slow in the end and far from the best introduction to Matsumoto's universe, but it is quite watchable even for the uninitiated as long as you're willing to give a piece of broad, classically-styled space fantasy a shot.

 : RevolutionSF - Cosmo Warrior Zero: Cold Steel Immortals : Review
Warrius is reduced to living out his days as captain of a small patrol ship, preparing to quit from the military, when a chance encounter with a certain space pirate gives him a new goal in life.
Yes, Harlock has his share of tragically lost loves and traumatic past events, but they're just backdrops to whatever his current quest for vengeance is. Warrius struggles with emotions in the present, and they constantly evolve inside him and with him, making his character much less iconic and much more real.
Warrius, rather than being the confident loner that Harlock is, has to struggle through his self-doubts and is completely reliant on his loyal crew (though luckily not in a creepy codependent way).
