Did you know
- TriviaFranklin Harlock is the decendant/alternate reality version of Space Pirate Harlock. Torshiro is the descendant/alternative reality version of himself/the soul of the Arcadia (in series where he never physically appears; this is the explanation). In the various Space Pirate Harlock series/movies/guest appearances it is Harlock who is the main character and Torshiro who is the sidekick. Roles are reversed in Gun Frontier where the main character is Torshiro and Harlock is the sidekick.

Featured review
Spaghetti Western meets Japanese Animation
Another Matsumoto gem, but not meant for the general public. It is slow-paced, melancholic, poetic, surreal, and contains a lot of violence, sex and "nudity". The animation is pretty basic, but the dialog is very-well written and there is room for character development.
The way it ended suggested there might be another season, so we're still waiting.
I think you'll only enjoy it if you're used to Spaghetti Westerns, or absolutely adore two of Matsumoto's main characters, Harlock/Albator the pirate and Toshiro the Samurai. Well, what seems to be their ancestors or their previous incarnation in the 19th century West, that is.
I've seen this in French, which apparently is the better dubbed version compared to English, with a more faithful translation.
