Aramaki Shinji's upcoming big screen adaptation of Space Pirate Captain Harlock is, without a doubt, one of the more anticipated events of the anime world. The Appleseed director has recruited talent from the Square Enix ranks for a CGI animated update of the hugely popular character and the results are looking intriguing.
