Harlock had been around for some time already. In the meantime, Space Pirate Captain Harlock filled the void with its inspiring space vistas, impressive battleship designs, kick-ass space battles, engaging characters, and surprisingly (for television at that time) powerful soundtrack with every awesome action-packed weekly 23-minute episode. The entertainment industry would eventually deliver on both the small and big screens, with Battlestar Galactica on television in 1978, and Battle Beyond The Stars in theaters in 1980 (to name but two). In the context of the late 70s, children, teenagers and even adults were starved of more space opera in the wake of the release of Star Wars.
