Some sad news to share, friends - Leiji Matsumoto, the iconic creator of Space Battleship Yamato (aka Starblazers), Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and many more, has passed away at the age of 85. A manga artist since the 50s who originally got his start in shoujo manga, Matsumoto’s works were a cornerstone of early anime fandom. American sci-fi fans of the 70s may not have known the terms “anime”, “manga”, or “cosplay”, but they knew and loved Matsumoto’s work, which was many fan’s first exposure to anime back in the day. One of the first recorded “cosplay” gatherings in the US was of fans dressed as mostly Leiji Matsumoto characters!

In other parts of the world, they also fell in love with Matsumoto’s work: as in France, where Harlock was known as Albator, and won the hearts of many fans. So much so that Matsumoto won many prestigious awards there, and would eventually be knighted in 2012 by the French government. French electronic duo Daft Punk was highly influenced by his work, and in 2001 collaborated with Matsumoto to release anime music videos (and eventually a feature-length film version called Interstella 555).

Modern anime & manga owe much to his work, as he was THE pioneer of space opera and what he liked to call “boy’s romance” stories--”romance” in the literarily sense--full of angst, heroism, and fighting for independence while celebrating nature, brotherhood, and friendship. He helped many people learn to never give up on themselves and their dreams, no matter how fantastical they may seem.

May his spirit travel on, in a new adventure in the endless sea of stars.

harlock lifespan across the series: i used to be a punk army rebel but now i'm just a drunk depressed whore

in order : Arcadia of my Youth, Cosmo Warrior Zero, Endless Orbit SSX, SPCH 1978, Endless Odyssey, SPCH 2013

i took some creative liberties with the pre-army times but since we don't know ANYTHING about his childhood anyway maybe it's real who knows

all the filler series like Harlock Saga or Space Symphony Maetel happen between CWZ and SSX imo

Propaganda

Captain Harlock is a renegade pirate who fights the totalion government controlling dystopian Earth. He is the most infamous criminal in the world he resides in, not only as a physical threat (the Arcadia has a lot of fire power and the crew has won many battles using superior tactics), but also as a charismatic leader who brings others to his cause.

He is an avid believer of existentialism, the philosophy that each individual has the freedom to make their own choices, regardless of what the world would consider right-or-wrong.

He was wildly popular to audiences during the anime space opera scene. His personality (stoic, quiet, sincere, terrifying ruthless badass) was very influential as a character archtype in following media.
