Part I Of A Kaoru Shintani Tribute



If that's a scale model I have serious scale model skillz envy.

Kaoru Shintani, the creator of the mangas Area 88, Cleopatra DC, Sonic Deserter, Alice 12, Desert Rose, Hidari no O'Clock, Futari Taka, Phantom Burai, Christie Hightension and others--and model for the character Yattaran in Leiji Matsumoto's Captain Harlock, turns 60 on Tuesday.

Across The Endless Seas Of Stars...

Yes, the trailer for the "live-action" Captain Harlock has been plundered by YouTube users and is available for viewing (for now). I've seen most of it (my connection broke and cut it off at about 75%). It's hard to tell if the characters are actors in costume or completely CGI. I suspect it's the latter. Sempai Mike was telling me over the phone the other day that he wouldn't accept an Asian actor in the role of Harlock, but that's him. I'm not sure what to think.
