    Probably the anime that got me started...

    God, I love this show. I started watching the cut version on Cartoon Network and eventually, started reading the un-cut scripts. I really don't know why I kept watching it, but I think I really could relate to Harry (even though I call myself Twilight Alex..... Hey, Suzu rocks! ^^;)...okay, the whole show hates him, but, I think he was a really good, freakish character. The whole Melfina-obsession...... Well, I wish they didn't go and hack the show to pieces, but, heck, at least its still Outlaw Star....................

    Ultra Cool!

    When I first watched this series on Cartoon Network,it was one of the best shows since Gundam Wing,and Escaflowne. I did like it, it was pretty funny as well.I had to get this for my collection,and I did. But after buying the entire collection on DVD, it got a whole lot better. It was cool that they added some never before scenes. I also like all the funny jokes in the show like when Gene tries to kiss Jim in episode 9. I also liked the part where Gene dresses up like a girl to be in a fighting tournament. Those were the most funniest parts I've seen in the show. Another thing I liked in the show are the 2 characters Duuz, and Valeria(who we will see in the spin off,the Angel Links) I think it was cool to see them for the first time. Another thing I liked about the show is the theme song "Through the Night", that's one of my favorite songs in the show,and the 2nd ending theme"Tsuki No Le" What this show really tells us that the journey to fortune can be really rough. We all have to have a dream,and work hard to achieve that goal. The series features some great voice like:Wendy Lee,Michael McConnohie (famous for Transformers,and Vampire Hunter D, and Ultra Maniac),Ian Hawk,Steve Cannon,Zan,and others. So in closing,after this show,check out the spin off, Angel Links.You will see what I mean.

    Excellence

    In my opinion, Outlaw Star is one of the greatest anime series that have ever been made. While I have seen only the English dubbed version, I hear nothing but rave reviews of the original (which is for mature audiences only due to language and sexual innuendo.) The characters are wonderful and unique, and the plot has a purpose, not to mention above average animation. What more can you ask for?

    Excellent!

    Outlaw Star is in short, an excellent series. The characters are good and the story line is too as far as many Animes go. Some characters such as Aisha Klanklan are classics and should be remembered long after you watch the series. Overall the English dub is also excellent with good voice actors picked and one or two even better than the original Japanese actors (Aisha). Watch it. You will NOT be disappointed :o)

    Great anime series soars through the stars.

    I love this anime series, my only complaint is that it only lasted one season...then again the fact it was only on one season made it extremely easy to get the whole series on DVD as all I had to do was buy the box set. This anime features a guy and his kid sidekick as they start out as sort of trouble solvers. Being body guards, bounty hunting, name the price and they do it as long as it appears to be on the up and up. Well they take on a mysterious client that turns out to be an outlaw hence the journey into the stars commences. During this trip they find an android who seems almost human, they get into trouble with pirates, they commandeer a ship later named "The Outlaw Star", they run afoul of an alien beast woman, they get into trouble with an assassin, and they have many many action packed, but funny adventures on their way to solving the mysterious of something known as the Galactic Leyline. Like I said this series has it all...action, romance, and lots of humor to tickle your funny bone as well. The series starts out fast, stays fast in the middle and doesn't let up till the very end. Having the entire series uncut on DVD is pretty cool too, as the Japanese voices are a lot better especially Aisha Clan Clan who has a bit of an irritating voice in the American version.

      During the opening of the series, if you go frame by frame right when Gene is firing his gun, you'll notice the word "Bang!" appears very briefly in the middle of the gunblast.

      Hilda: Just how long are you gonna keep whining?

      Gene Starwind: Hey, if I can't hit anything, I can't hit anything!

      Hilda: You gonna just keep running away?

      Gene Starwind: Just keep running away?

      [pause]

      Gene Starwind: I'm not running.

    • Alternate versions
      There was an episode that Cartoon Network never aired, "Hot Springs of Planet Tenrei". This was because this episode featured extensive nudity and sexual innuendo.
