[Digital] Space Pirate Captain Harlock Episodes #16-#20

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge

Mania Grade: B

In Summary:

There's a lot to like with these episodes since we get to know more of the crew better and both Daiba and Harlock play to the background. Miime gets the last episode of this batch which explores how the Mazone manipulated her world and where it stands now and there's some regular background talk about the nature of the Arcadia which teases about it being alive because of some of the things it does and how Harlock talks about it. The references to his old friend continue on as well which helps to personalize the ship and adds a bit more mystery to Harlock's past, something that's always good with a character like this. This batch of episodes was quite a lot of fun and engaging to watch with the stories it tells and its approach to the characters. This brings the first half of the show roughly to a close and sets the stage for the real batter to come, going by the way it ends. And that's something to look forward to I think after all the setup.
