Yay! So exciting!
The CG Captain Harlock movie. Don't know Japanese but this is one I've been waiting for for a while, being a semi-hardcore Leiji fan, more specifically Galaxy Express and Harlock. Definitely enjoyable, and plot details can be found online. I for one am a fan of the "controversial plot twist", involving Harlock doing something extremely morally and ethically questionable. I guess that's where the "Terrorist or freedom fighter" tag comes from. It seems to have a polarizing effect on the audience, though anyone who knows a lot about Harlock should understand why this isn't necessarily out of character for him. Also, like some of the previous Harlock stories, it has the "tale of two Harlocks" going on with the main character, Yama. Pretty obvious what's going on here again for fans. Out with the old, in with the new. They also added a kind of cyberpunk/dieselpunk vibe to the whole thing, which I'm alright with as well. Most of the main character design styles seem relatively in tact, which is a staple of the Leijiverse.
In short, if you're just a casual viewer you'll really enjoy the visuals, but probably find the character development and plot taking a jarring turn that leaves the second half with little direction. If you're a fan you'll probably love the hell out of it.
