As I've spent my past two hours catching up on old news it seems that
not too many people out there know that Captain Harlock is in release.
Captain Harlock is being shown in the bay area on channel 36 at 4:30pm
on weekdays under the title "Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand
Years". Yes, it is being distributed by Harmony Gold, and yes it is a
combination of Captain Harlock and Queen Millenia(sp?).
If you have never seen Captain Harlock or seens from it, and you have
watched Macross, Sothern Cross, and Mospeoda (i.e. Robotech), be warned
Captain Harlock is done in a different animation style from Robotech.
Some friends of mine who liked Robotech thought that Harlock would be
just like it, since the advertisements up here said "From the same people
who brought you Robotech." They thought that meant the same animators, but
when they saw different, they didn't like it. Unfortunately, I haven't had
the chance to see too many Harlocks, so I don't know how well Harmony Gold
combined the two series. Hopefully they've done a good job.

You're darn right not many of us know it's out. Have (any of) you heard when (or if) it will be coming to the East Coast, preferably the Baltimore D.C. area. I've always liked Harlock, and my girlfriend is a fanatic about the pirate AND Queen Millenia. >Captain Harlock is being shown in the bay area on channel 36 at 4:30pm >on weekdays under the title "Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand >Years".

To all you Japanamation Fen out there: please post a message about ANY new things (in English or otherwise) to come to America, so that the rest of us can go out and find it. (I've got to see this Harlock stuff. If you've ever seen the older English translations of it, you'll know why some of us call it "Captain Hardup: Space Pervert".)
