Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick

Aired: 1997 - 1999

A science-fiction anime from director Osamu Dezaki, loosely reimagining Herman Melville's Moby Dick as a space opera. Set in the distant future, it follows the whale-hunting captain Ahab and young Lucky Luck, who has lost his family, as they pursue a mysterious planet-destroying weapon called the White Whale. Blending dynamic mecha action among the stars with intimate character drama, the series stands as a showcase of Dezaki's signature direction.
