About Gun Frontier

Gun Frontier (ガンフロンティア) arrives as an action anime (2002), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: It is a harsh and barren wasteland, where the weak aren't allowed to dream. It is also a sacred land for true men, for there is no place a man can feel more alive.

Along the way, this is the Gun Frontier. Sea Pirate Captain Harlock and the errant samurai, Tochiro arrive in the United States on the Western Frontier. Along with an unexplained woman they meet along the way, the two companions challenge sex rings, bandits, and corrupt sheriff.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Eiji Takemoto as Captain Harlock and Kappei Yamaguchi as Tochiro Ooyama. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.3/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Eiji Takemoto voicing Captain Harlock gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2002, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
