Harlock Saga

The Ring of the Nibelung (ニーベルングの指環, Nīberungo no Yubiwa) is a manga series written and illustrated by Leiji Matsumoto. A loose adaptation of Wilhelm Richard Wagner epic music drama Der Ring des Nibelungen, it tells the story of space pirate Captain Harlock and his crew as they try to stop a man who has stolen gold from the center of the galaxy and forged it into a powerful ring. It was adapted into a six-part original video animation series titled Harlock Saga (ハーロック・サーガ, Hārokku Sāga).
