Anime thrives on a combination of genres capable of creatively reviving many old genres. The idea of a "space pirate" is nothing new, but it became much more radical in the 1970s and some anime like Space Pirate Captain Harlock have helped reinforce that key idea.Captain Harlock is an outcast who intends to transform into a reluctant hero, so the 70s anime Space Pirate Captain Harlock is a deep study in relation to the character as well as space travel to eliminate predators. It's a basic formula, but one that allows the genre to become more ambitious over time.
