About Captain Harlock: Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX

Captain Harlock: Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX (わが青春のアルカディア・無限軌道ＳＳＸ) arrives as an action anime by Toei Animation (1982), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: At the end of Arcadia of My Youth Capitain Harlock and the crew of the space ship Arcadia had been banished from Earth. The Earth, as well as many other planets in the universe had been taken over by the Illumidus, a race of destructive humanoids who ruin, enslave or destroy almost any inhabitable planet they come across.

Along the way, in "Endless Orbit SSX" Harlock battles the Illumidus while searching for a mythical "Planet of Peace" where all the peoples of the universe can live freely and without war.

If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 22 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
