A lot of new anime-types think it's too slow, but if you can tolerate classics like Area 88 and early (true) Gundam , then Arcadia of My Youth will make you re-evaluate what people consider 'good' anime these days. Try Also Galaxy Express 999. If you watch Arcadia, then GE999, then Adieu GE999, you *will* kneel.
When I wrote that piece on GR about it, I had to re-watch Arcadia. It still floors me how powerful the writing is. Leiji Matsumoto is a genious of melodrama. If you dig that sort of thing, Harlock is God. Wait for the Sea of Fire. You will NOT be disappointed.
