Captain Harlock's Flag from Galaxy Express 999: キャプテンハーロックの旗—銀河鉄道999


 
The Star Trek of Japan is Galaxy Express 999 or rather the 'Ginga Tetsudo Sureenain' of the USA is Staru Tureku?  One key character is Captain Harlock, who flies the pirate ensign on his Galactic Voyager. 

Galaxy Express 999 was an animated show with many adult themes.  It was basically a star trek across the span of the Milky Way to Andromeda Galaxies.  Themes of life, love, death, war, broken dreams, immortality, ghosts, greed, capitalism, work and the social contract of cultures were its mainstaty, explored in each episode.
