"Everyone of us has an inside world that is closely guarded, a world that few others are able to fathom, and thus envelops oneself in a silence that is strength and weakness at the same time, ending up in a war that demands everything and perhaps gives nothing."
-- Leiji Matsumoto, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, 1979

Leiji Matsumoto's brilliant work has been an inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Captain Harlock (in all his incarnations), Galaxy Express 999, Queen Emeraldas, Space Battleship Yamato and Queen Millennia. His vibrant, thoughtful characters and rich, powerful 'verses will always hold a very special place in my heart.
