Adieu Galaxy Express 999
What they share
Both films are directed by Rintaro, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Space Pirate Captain Harlock: Mystery Of The Arcadia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Adieu Galaxy Express 999 is
Space Battleship Yamato without the camp. Tetsuro is called back to the 999 to confront a dark secret about the mechanized future he once longed for. This animated feature from the early 1980s closes out the saga with elegiac grace.
