Comment:
Originally meant to be a TV series, delays to the production of the series caused it to be released only as an OAV series. Original Harlock creator, Leiji Matsumoto, did not aprove of the use of a religious symbol (the Star of David) in the series and required that it be removed before the series could be released.
