Why did people not like the CGI Captain Harlock movie? Seemed

This is the same director as Starship Troopers: Invasion, isn't it? How's it compare to that?

>>15748772
Because people will complain about CG even when it's used right, I'd much rather have a full CG anime than a 2D one where something CG shows up on screen every five minutes and ruins muh immersions by looking so out of place.

Immortal Captain Harlock who destroyed the Earth.

I thought it looked great. People just don't like change.

All the complaints about it has nothing to do with the CG retards

>>15748772
>Captain Harlock is not the lead in a Captain Harlock film instead its just some other faggot
>Completely undermines Harlock's character and botches it entirely
>Realistic Matsumoto's designs just don't work
>Unremarkable story
But it looked pweety I guess.

Aramaki? Yeah that's him I'll say its worse in comparison. This is the same guy that's going to be involved in that new Ghost in the Shell movie but given that the franchise has seen better days I'm not sure how much worse can his interpretation be.

I remember the complaints being about the plot instead of the CGI though

She has a mouth. 0/10, an insult to canon, I'll never accept it, it's worse than Destiny, protest it on twitter.

The plot was borderline incoherent. All it really had going for it was the pretty visuals which, to be fair, were really fucking pretty.

I dunno, it was still really about Harlock and I think the protag was important to show how charismatic he is of a person.

The characters still did look like Matsumoto characters.

Which of the original eps had a lot better story? I'd only say Arcadia of My Youth really excels.

It looked nice, but it didn't pass for a story set in the Harlock-Verse.

Not at all.

Pretty much any episode where Harlock is dealing with his own personal volition and also by premise alone the original blows this movie out of the water. (although the premise of the original is shockingly strong even alone)

One of the biggest things newer leiji matsumoto works of pre-existing franchises seems to fuck up is missing the original characterization by a huge mark.

Great looking movie telling a story that doesn't fit the characters.

Like, if you know absolutely nothing about Harlock beyond "he's a space pirate" then yeah it was probably a good movie.

But if you've seen any Harlock stuff you know that he's not vicious enough to take his frustration out on humanity no matter how much they fall short of his expectations.
