About

You’ll likely enjoy Harlock: Space Pirate for its nonstop space fights and impressive CG look, but Not for you if you want a clear, tightly written story with strong dialogue, like in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within or Steamboy.

Pros: stunning CGI visuals; thrilling space battles; bold space-opera vibe | Cons: confusing story; cringe dialogue; uneven character work
