Ah! Fellow Harlock fan!!! I used to have a FASA Starfleet Battles stat sheet for the Arcadia. That ship kicked major ass! I let a friend of mine hold onto my copy of "My Youth in Arcadia", then he moved to Texas with it. We had a big falling out and I fear I'll never see it again! *sniff!*
As far as the big eyes thing, Dragonball Z was the last thing "anime" I saw. (Not counting "Spirited Away".) There had been a sci-fi comic book series back in the late 80's early 90's called "2001 Nights". The writing was very imaginative, but aside from the oddball artist now and then, it looked like it was all drawn by the same guy, large eyes and all (just not AS large). Still, it was a great venue for up and coming sci-fi writers. Usually had something like 15 stories in each issue.
