Well, I haven't read much of Edmond Hamilton's golden-age-of-scifi-novels, but if this show has managed to do one thing especially well, then it is to carry the pulpish "sense of wonder" into the present.
Toei Animation's 'Captain Future' series not only is remarkably true to the original, it also digs deep into the fantastic worlds of Hamilton in all their weird, epic beauty. The episodes are based on 13 novels, and the viewer gets dragged into a futuristic universe full of mysteries, space exploration, villainy and heroism - that's space opera at it's best.
Even if it's an older animé, Sir, it still checks out. It is well told and vividly illustrated (including artistic and unusual camera perspectives). An absolute must-see...!
I recommend the Japanese version with country-specific subtitles.
