Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick (白鯨伝説 Hakugei Densetsu?) is an animated Japanese television series, based on Herman Melville's original novel Moby Dick. However, this adaptation used futuristic outer space as the setting, with "whales" being large abandoned spaceships instead. It aired from 1997 to 1999, albeit with a suspension of new episodes from November 1997 to October 1998. The series ran for 26 episodes, which have been released on DVD in the USA by ADV Films, spread across six discs.
Ahab has a deep hatred for Moby Dick because it took his left eye and left leg from him, following an attack Ahab led on an unregistered ship (which turned out to be carrying civilians).
Lucy Voiced by Monica Rail.
Lucy is the loyal bird of Captain Ahab, she delivers messages to the crew and is usually seen around Lucky and Atre.
