An olde but a goodie.

Space Pirate Captain Harlock is another enduring figure of both anime and manga.

Created by the now legendary anime/manga artist/writer Eiji Matsumoto, Space Pirate Captain Harlock has spanned more than four decades of TV shows, movies, manga, and OVAs.

The first series aired in the mid-1970s while the most recent series aired in the mid 2000s.

The Harlock Achives are a good place to start learning about the dear Captain and his adventures.

Hulu has all 42 episodes of the original 19798 series.
It maybe old, the animation cheesy, but the story is incredible.
