Gun Frontier is a thirteen episode anime series based on the manga by Leiji Matsumoto. It is the fifth animated adaptation of the Harlock franchise and is by far its most unusual entry, changing the setting and genre from a Space Opera set in the 30th century to an action-comedy set in the American Western Frontier.
