	Harlock Saga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harlock Saga is a six-part anime miniseries (three hours in total length) by Leiji Matsumoto.
		Harlock Saga: The Valkyrie (3 volumes) is the first of a two-part story dealing largely with the events surrounding the epic voyage and subsequent death of Great Harlock, Captain Harlock's father, in 2964 AD.
		Harlock Saga: Siegfried (3 volumes) is the second of a two-part story dealing with the adventures of Great Harlock.

	Harlock Saga
		Although there are some significant glitches in Harlock Saga, it's still an entertaining dive into the world of the space pirate who embodies the "live free or die" ethic.
		Harlock barely appears in the first episode and has only a minor role in the second.
		Harlock Saga is not the best of Matsumoto's work, but it is a good intro to the characters and is not a bad way to spend three hours.

	Anime Chat Forums - Harlock Saga
		Harlock Saga is an innovative way of retelling the story of "Der Ring Das Nibelungen" roughly translated as The Ring of the Nibelung (originally written by Richard Wagner as an opera) in an anime action/adventure/drama.
		According to the legend (that is told by Harlock Saga), if Alberich of the Nibelung clan were to use the ring to destroy Valhalla, he could return the Universe to its primordial beginnings.
		Harlock Saga is rated 13 years and up and it is doubtful that you will be able to see this story on international television (except for maybe on a Showtime channel called Action).

	Captain Harlock
		Harlock's flag is the pirate jolly roger flag, and to him it represents freedom and the fighting spirit.
		However, Harlock's first encounter with Meeme is in a totally different setting in The Arcadia of My Youth, and in the newer Harlock Saga, she has morphed completely into a near-immortal sorceress who has battled the ancient gods for countless years and helped shaped humanity.
		The initial protagonist of the most well-known Harlock plot (the TV series and Harlock manga) is a young man named "Daiba Tadashi," the son of two scientists (he's also completely different in Harlock Saga).

	Harlock Saga by Side Order of Ninjas-Totally Ninjarific
		Harlock escapes to the Arcadia which is being slowly crushed by the dragon.

	AMR: Harlock Saga
		Well, I've got to admit that Captain Harlock, cool and fearless as he is, is probably a rather good choice.
		Harlock, and some of his associates, were surprisingly good characters.
		Harlock's a great guy, no doubt about it, but he's not really on the level of `god'.

	Harlock Saga : DVD
		I am not sure exactly what I expected when I picked ´The Harlock Saga´ out to watch, other than a popular Japanese anime, but I have to admit that I was unprepared to find myself watching a version of Wagner´s ´Ring of the Nibelung´ recast as a space adventure in the far future.
		Harlock (actually the son of Leiji Matsumoto´s original Harlock) is the captain of the Arcadia, a space pirate vessel.
		The Harlock Saga is a great DVD to get the casual fan or the hardcore fan who never bothered to get it.

	AAW: Harlock Saga Review
		Harlock Saga is yet another small part of Leiji Matsumoto's vast universe.
		Fortunately for the uninitiated viewer, Harlock Saga is essentially a sci-fi retelling of Wagner's most famous opera, The Ring of the Neibelung.
		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.

	THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Captain Harlock: Endless Odyssey
		Captain Harlock is probably known by Matsumoto fans as one of the most badass characters in the Leijiverse.
		After all, Harlock is a wanted man, and the first episode thus begins with the arrest of Kei, one of Harlock's crew.
		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.

	Harlock Saga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-24)
		Harlock Saga is, even with its many faults, an OVA worthy of your time and money, especially if you're a fan of Matsumoto Leiji's creations.
		From Harlock to Emeraldas to Meeme to the cookie-cutter side characters, lines are delivered like they were read from a script for the first time with nary an expression on anyone's face (unless you count the cold, dead stare of a fish on a dinner table as an expression).
		Harlock's ship Arcadia is even done in 3D for the first OVA, but the result is so poor that the vessel is hand-drawn for the rest of the series.

	AnimeNation News
		Harlock premiered on Japanese television in a 42 episode TV series titled Space Pirate Captain Harlock on March 14, 1978.
		Following up the success of Robotech, Captain Harlock & The Queen of a Thousand Years took the original 1978 Harlock TV series and the 1981 Millennium Queen TV series and patched together into a single ill-conceived amorphous series, even though the original Japanese series were totally unrelated and had no common characters between them.
		In 1999 Harlock returned in a new 6 episode OAV series titled Harlock Saga: Der Ring Des Nibelungen Das Rhein Gold, a loose sci-fi interpretation of the opera by Wagner that told the story of an attempt to overthrow the gods of Valhalla.

	Anime & Manga Guide : Harlock Saga
		This 3 hour mini-series is essentially a retelling of Das Rheingold, but in the sci-fi setting of the Captain Harlock universe.
		Das Rheingold is the first part of the famous der Ring des Nibelungen, or "Ring Saga" - a series of four operas based on German folklore composed by Richard Wagner between 1848 and 1874.
		In Das Rheingold, Alberich sets into motion the events of the saga by stealing the magical gold which can grant the power to rule the world to one who sacrifices love.

	Harlock Saga: Nibelung no yubiwa 'Rhein no ôgon' (1999) (V) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-24)
		One thing to note is that the author of the all of the comic books, TV series and movies is very loose with the chronology and he doesn't mind changing the background stories of the characters to suit the plot of his present project.
		A big disappointment is the promised big battle between Harlock's ship, the Arcadia, and the main villain's massive space force.
		It's great to have Captain Harlock back in series form and many of the qualities that made the original series memorable for me in the late 70's are here too.

		"Harlock Saga" is a six-episode adaptation of the Ring Cycle to the world of Harlock; in short, Wagner in space.
		Brief background: Harlock and his crew of 3 (yes, as far as I could tell, just 3) humans fly a giant battleship- shaped spaceship through the universe.
		I won't even mention Harlock's plan to return a powerful artifact to a group of people (who are now dead) on a distant planet (which has been destroyed).

	DVD Verdict Review - Harlock Saga
		Harlock Saga (also called The Rhein Gold) borrows its plot from Richard Wagner's formidable Ring of the Nibelungen tetralogy (or, as a Fox marketing executive might dub it, his "quadrilogy").
		Meeme also happens to be a pal of Captain Harlock, famous space pirate, and she enlists the crew of the Arcadia (Harlock's spaceship) to help her stop Alberich's scheme to conquer the gods.
		Longtime Harlock fans will find this all frustrating as well, since the continuity is often at odds with the established Harlock universe.

	Anifanatikku : Harlock saga Review
		Harlock saga is an interesting enough tale if you have the patience to get to the climax of the story.
		The other potential problem is that Harlock saga requires that you know the characters of the Leiji Matusmoto Universe beforehand or some of the cameos will throw you for a loop.
		While Harlock saga is the product of newer animation techniques it still manages to stay true to the character designs that have been used since the early seventies.

		“Harlock Saga” is another piece in the collective works of Leiji Matsumoto, a renowned manga (Japanese comics) artist, animator, and writer.
		Harlock has an eye patch and a scar across his face, Emeraldas has a large scare on her face, and Tochiro, Harlock’s friend, is just plain odd loo
		Captain Harlock is too noble, too brave, and just too all around great to shy away from such a challenge.

	Harlock Saga - Der Des Nibelungen Das Rheingold
		When someone familiar with Matsumoto Leiji's work thinks of Captain Harlock (or anything else Matsumoto has done), what comes to mind are grand sagas, the death of planets, plots where everything is at stake.
		She is playing a huge pipe organ when she suddenly entreats Tochiro and Esmeraldas to hasten to the planet Rhein, and help her protect it.
		Furthermore, a set of webpage-based comics rather confuses the issue by telling a different story about the origins of the Arcadia, Harlock and Tochiro's father.

	Harlock Saga
		This doesn't mean that all the past stories somehow come together to fit like pieces in a four-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, but rather that the concepts from those stories would all be represented in one story, which of course meant rewriting most all of them.
		We now see that Harlock, Tochiro, and Emeraldas grew up together from their early childhood, instead of just Harlock and Tochiro (as in Space Pirate.) Both versions of the Arcadia would appear, but the old, blue Arcadia would now become Pirate Island number two, and...you can see where this is headed.
		He is described as having once been a member of Harlock's crew, back when they were fighting "the enemy," whoever they may have been.

	Harlock Saga
		This six-part OAV (original animation video) reunites several of his most popular characters in an early adventure that depicts Captain Harlock's meeting with young Tadashi Daiba.
		Although it's billed as "an updated retelling of Der Ring des Nibelungen," Harlock Saga uses only some names and the "Funeral March" theme from Wagner's operatic cycle.
		The adventure ends on an odd note, with Daiba and Harlock preparing to unmake the Ring and return the gold to the planet Rhein--which disappeared at the end of episode 1.

	AAW: Harlock Saga Quicklook
		Harlock Saga is essentially a sci-fi retelling of Wagner's most famous opera, The Ring of the Neibelung, set in Matsumoto's vast universe and cast with his standard set of characters.
		The only other weakness is the voice acting which, with the exception of Kouichi Yamadera's impressive portrayal of both stoic Harlock and quirky Tochiro, is unimpressive in both languages.
		Though far from the best introduction to Matsumoto's universe, Harlock Saga 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, and it's also fun as a re-interpretation of of a classic into a true space opera.

		In 2000 Takeuchi Nobuo made Harlock Saga: Ring of the Nibelung in a rather faithful Matsumotonian atmosphere, but with his own plans for the veteran characters.
		The Matsumotonian set is almost invariably dark, since it is about space pirates of whichever future time (2977, when Harlock started out); the good ol' lure of space odyssey is hereby exploited once more.
		I guess as far as I have known, Matsumoto's outer space is the best in bottling the essence of The Unknown for instant rethinking -- the animated version of the tale is also the same.

		Leiji Matsumoto's HARLOCK SAGA was released in Japan as 6 separate volumes under the voluminous title: HARLOCK SAGA: Der Ring Des Nibelung: Das Rheingold.
		Based on Richard Wagner's opera of the same name, although extremely loosely, the story revolves around Harlock and his crew searching for the stolen gold from planet Rhein, which can manipulate the forces of the universe.
		As usual, another exciting adventure from the extreme world of Harlock, where the women are still 7 feet tall with 9" waists and floor sweeping hair.
