this. this. was the first thing, this and galaxy express 999. fire and ice came next closely followed by wendy and richard pini. then starblazers, and macross.
Have this on a video cassette and remember this theme from when I was barely school age. I sometimes wish I had lived through the 70's, but being born in '84 some of the 70s stuff was still around. This actually got me so intensely interested in anime at a very young age. Thanks for putting this up!
@DiscordianDisciple27 Lol anytime ^_^ Whats your take on Starblazers? Thats my fav, followed by Harlock and Of course Galaxy Express 999 LOl i'm a Leiji Matsumoto fan
My god....I was only 6 years old when I saw this video on my Pokemon VCR tape. After the pokemon episodes it had it would show previews and openings of other anime. This is one of them and I couldn't get the song out of my head.
i have a vhs of this i got from an old video store roughly 10 years ago... the weirdest part is it has the first couple of episodes then skips to episode 9 or something... i could never throw it out.
^_________^ *nostalgia purrr* *sings* Take to the SKYYYYYYY, Take to the SKYYYYY, take to the sky with me!
This song was cool when I was five, and it still is now. I always liked Harlock, but seeing him doing that hand gesture @ 1:27, that just makes him smooth in a VERY cool way, man X3! Fangirliness aside, I'm about to wear out the replay button here. I can't get enough of this song.
@zoidsmaniac The Dub Was DECENT as far as that stuff goes. Most of the violence was a mazingly left unedited. But they DID condense the series. I Think They like cut the plot in half.
But it still kept true to the original story as far as that goes.
There were TWO dubs of this show, another one (not this one) was HORRIBLY DONE, and had some of the most Laughable and hysterical dialogue i've ever heard. Type in "Harlock Bad Dub" here on youtube and you'll soon see what i mean.
@TitanicMatthew "Hello Harlock my names Toshiro "Tochiro" Oyama!" "Ah hello Roger Dublan" need i say more?C'mon the even put Dub in poor Tochiros english name lol
@zoidsmaniac Carl Macek (RIP) did an interview with Anime News Network where he said the entire writing and dubbing was done very quickly. Apart from the violence he also left in heaps of nudity which he could get away with because the women are green.
@mattmanganon not quite, it's the Musashi (?sp), a WW2 sea battleship of the same design as the Yamato, which appears in ep. 13 of the original Harlock TV.
I had no idea this show existed in english. Can anyone tell me how popular this show became in the United States or the UK? I know that in France this show became quite popular.
@WatchVenusSpa well ya know that was the time this show actually was put out by harmony gold in 1979 and picked up again in the 80's and now its free domain in the USA since Viz does NOT have copyright on it anymore, thats why i was able to get most of the show on dvd at the yankee 1 dollar :P(on thos KO looking discs)
Amazing. I had this dub version on Beta once. Even though its always original Japanese music and dialogue all the way with me, this early dub was quite decent plus this song is original that fits it well with great vocals. Also as good as the early eng dub and song of Captain Future. Thank you for posting this. Never heard of this extended version before.
I Found This On A Website A Long Time Ago And It Differed Slightly From The English Dub Cartoon...... I Guess I Got Lucky To Find The Uncut Version Eh?
Definitely lucky. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, great video montage to go with the music. I love the ending with saber duel ending with Captain Harlock "winning" in more ways than one.
AH! YES FINALY FOUND THE NAME AND WHO DID THIS SONG! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKYOU FOR POSTING THIS...sorry for the caps lol...iv been wanting to find this song for ages.....and i couldnt find it anywere...
lol cheaper then what i saw for the Star Blazers sound track XD it was like 8 dollars or something like that...might have gone down..or up...duno witch tho..lol
Anyone know where I can find a higher-quality version of this? Without all the weird audio glitches.
Great song, but the distortion in this recording gets to me.
