Captain Harlock is a classic of the 70s. It was dubbed in French as Albator and was quite famous. I imagined not everyone was pleased seeing their favourite childhood character having his personality destroyed like that. Aramaki is a very creative director and took great risk with that plot. Perhaps he's gone too far, given the movie was a complete bomb in Japan.

Well Redline, Dark City and both Blade Runner movies bombed at the box office. People just tend to have different tastes and Japan doesn't make that much money when it comes to movies with $30 million USD budgets. A wide international release could have made at least some profit for the movie. At least Kingsglaive seems to have done relatively well.
