Short answers, pulled from the story.
Leiji Matsumoto created the Captain Harlock manga series, which was serialized in Akita Shoten's Play Comic from January 1977 to June 1979. The original story was later retold in 2014 as Captain Harlock: Dimensional Voyage, illustrated by Kōichi Shimahoshi, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Matsumoto's debut.
Miime is a mysterious blue-skinned alien from the planet Jura who is the last of her species and communicates through psychic means and the strumming of a lap harp. She has no mouth, uses alcohol as food, can absorb liquids through her face, and possesses the power to ease pain and anxiety, becoming Harlock's most trusted companion.
The Captain Harlock anime television series was first broadcast in 1978 and was directed by Rintaro. The show was produced by Toei Animation and distributed on the Honolulu-based Japanese-language UHF station KIKU before being broadcast in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York the following year.
The primary antagonists of the 1978 series are the Mazone, a race of intelligent, plant-based beings who appear in female humanoid form. Their queen, Rafflesia, is determined to make Earth her new home after the destruction of her own planet, and she initially spared Harlock's life before plotting to kidnap Mayu Oyama to draw him into battle.
A 1981 dubbed version by ZIV International changed names such as the Mazones becoming Zetons and Yattaran becoming Youngblood. This version also changed Tadashi Daiba's name to Tommy Hairball, which became one of the most highly joked elements of the adaptation.
Adaptations released after the original series include a 1999 Harlock Saga OVA, a 2002 Endless Odyssey OVA, and an animated film in 2013. A sequel comic book written and drawn by Jérôme Alquié began publication in 2021, and a retelling manga titled Captain Harlock: Dimensional Voyage was launched in 2014.
