Reader Reviews Outlaw Star rocks!!! (SPOILERS!!!) Well, after going for a second time through the list of the anime collection that I have not bought yet (and I have bought a lot of them) I came over this show. Unfortunately, I did not come across this gold mine sooner. Fortunately, I eventually found it. The story goes more like this: The crew of the Outlaw Star, the best (battle) ship in space and a mystery covering it, consists of: Gene, the main protagonist. Starts up as a bounty hunter and gets in all sorts of adventures and troubles. Strong fighter and an expert with guns. Jim, Gene's partner, an 11 old smart boy and a hacker. Melfina, till the final episodes you will not be able to tell what exactly this girl is all about apart from that she is the key for the L-lines. (SPOILER), she will be in love with Gene and Gene with her... you know what it means, don't you? Romance on its way big time, hehehe. Suzuka, a very strong (and beautiful) Samurai woman who also is an assasin. Aisha, half human half tiger a like woman, which can transform to a wild animal when pissed off, and super strong. The space ship computer, Gillian, which has an opinion about everything. Than we have a nuts professor switching constantly sites. Hilda, an Outlaw hot bad kick a** female, who `puts' most of the main characters into the beginning of their journey. Two brothers who are also bounty hunters, the so called Mac Dugle brothers, and create all sorts of problems to the crew. Gene's male friend, Fred Low, (I have pointed out his gender because this reach guy will be in love with Gene and a muscle woman - 4 times strongest woman of the Universe - will be in love with Fred and wants to marry him) and who will basically constantly borrow a lot of money to the crew of Outlaw Star for repairs etc. (well, if this guy will ever get paid back is another story). The army. Killers cut loose who are after Gene's life and not only. And of course pirates who are after the Outlaw Star, Melfina and to kill Gene; and use some kind of Tao magic. Guns (called Castors) that can penetrate through magic. And people die. The main goal of the story: the Galactic L (or K, if you prefer) -lines. I will not tell you what these lines are all about because it would basically give away the entire story (sorry guys). The music is very good. The opening song is a pop/rock song while the ending one a romantic ballad (both very good songs). The animation is very good (compare it with the one of Cowboy Bebop and you will get a very good idea). As for the dub, I don't know why some are complaining but for me the English voices were actually very good. As for this box series, it has all 6 DVDs in something like a book-form and in order to go to the other DVD it is as if you have to `turn a page'. It has a few extras (in each DVD), like art works, trailers of other animes and a non credit opening - ending etc. And it has a very strong storyline and strong character development. Not to mention the fact that from the first episode the story kicks off and moves so fast that it will grasp you immediately (26 episodes long). The story is a mixture of science fiction, adventure, has a great balance between comedy and drama, action non-stop and of course romance (oh, yes). Last but not least, Outlaw Star can easily be considered to belong to the same (and equal) category/level of Cowboy Bebop, Trigun etc. Additional to all it, what I liked a lot was that all the main characters of this series are not whiny or whatsoever. They can live with their pros and cons, are able to get their s*** together and are doing some amazing stuff. Even the females of the crew are some kick a** babes who know how to get what they want and are able to beat people up. To the most logical question: Is the money worth buying it? Definitely Yes... To sum up, if you want a strong story, which combines action, romance, comedy and drama, strong character development and characters who are ready to rock from episode one, than this show is highly recommended for you. If you prefer a slow story etc. (something like love hentai), than this show is not for you. To conclude, I highly recommend this show...
