Description:
Subtitled "The Endless Odyssey: Outside Legend," this new series continues the long-running adventures of Leiji Matsumoto's dashing Captain Herlock (usually translated as Harlock). The swashbuckling Captain is pitted not against human malefactors, but ghosts controlled by Noo, a demon that briefly ruled creation immediately after the Big Bang. As they explore the cosmos, humans are inadvertently breaking the seals that imprison Noo--to the peril of every living thing. Herlock has been living quietly on the Planet of Rubbish Heaps, a spacefill for archeological ruins, including the palace inhabited by an ancient spirit that explains the threat to him. Director Rin Taro uses 3-D computer animation to good effect: the Arcadia is now a solid vessel with an embossed Jolly Roger on her prow. He also stylizes the violence and much of the action to create a punchy, dramatic narrative. (Rated 13 and older: brief nudity, violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
