THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Plot was a bit slow, and action was a bit hasty.

Not bad, but it could be a lot better. Just another story for Harlock fans. Anyway, I purchased the DVD first-hand for 3€, so I shall not complain.

It was ok... But I was still little dissapointed that there wasn't a big battle between the bad guy and Harlock. Also Daiba was unfortunately pretty useless and meaningless the whole time.

Well, overall Harlock Saga was entertaining and the soundtrack was pretty awesome.

Soundtrack? Psche... Topical, and taking free profit of a classical.

Entertaining? Yes, I shall admit it. At least, I didn't felt bored. :-D

Dude, this is sci-fi, the soundtrack has to be classical! I mean, you can't go wrong with Wagner! :D

Being sci-fi, it could be techno-like, too. But yes, classical suits Harlock better.

Oh, and I finished the manga. It's another arc, but that and this OVA have some failures in common.

A decent open ending if you ask me, not the best and together as I wasn't a too huge fan of the many changes made to the characters and timeline, but in general it wasn't bad and I do wonder how this story will connect to the Maetel Legend timeline!

All in all a pretty lovely story!

The reason for the changes is that this is NOT a typical Herlock story. It's based on an opera, they just used the Herlock universe to tell the story.

The ring has been retrieved. Wotan seems thankful.

This was okay I guess, but nowhere near as good as the other Harlock titles I've watched. It was rather disappointing overall.
